Inside the
TipTopp Formula
TipTopp Gut is built on a foundation of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and Bacillus pumilus, optimized for gut colonization and synergistic activity.
This combination creates a biological safety net inside the shrimp or fish gut, ensuring resilience against stress and disease challenges.

Application in
Different Stages
This flexibility allows farmers to integrate TipTopp Gut seamlessly into their management system, adapting the application method to their specific farming conditions.
01
Hatchery
Applied as a top-coat on feed or directly into the water, TipTopp Gut supports larvae from the very beginning by stabilizing the gut microbiome and strengthening early immunity.
02
Nursery
Nursery trials have shown survival rates above 95% and effective resistance against AHPND/EMS when using TipTopp Gut. Postlarvae grow faster, with better uniformity and reduced vulnerability during this critical transition phase.
03
Grow-out
In grow-out ponds, TipTopp Gut drives the largest impact. With significantly improved FCR, faster growth, and reduced disease outbreaks, farmers achieve higher yields and stronger harvest predictability. During stress or disease pressure, doubling the dosage helps maintain performance and prevent major losses.
04
Feed Application
TipTopp Gut can be applied in two ways:
As a feed additive – mixed into feed or applied as a top-coating using various methods, ensuring direct delivery of probiotics into the gut of shrimp and fish.
Direct use in water – probiotics disperse effectively, colonizing the gut through natural feeding and ingestion.

How TipTopp
Probiotics Work
01
Arrive & Activate (Spore → Live Cell)
TipTopp Gut uses hardy Bacillus spores (10 billion CFU/gram) that survive feed processing and pond conditions, then activate inside the animal.
Spores withstand pelleting, storage, and gastric passage.
Germinate in the gut and adhere to the intestinal surface.
Rapidly multiply to establish a beneficial microbiome.
02
Digest & Convert (Enzymes → Better FCR & Growth)
Once active, the Bacillus strains produce a broad enzyme suite that makes feed more usable and reduces waste.
Proteases, amylases, and lipases break down proteins, starches, and fats.
Nutrients become more available, improving FCR and daily growth.
Less undigested feed means fewer harmful metabolites and cleaner systems.
03
Defend & Stabilize (Competition → Resilience)
A stable probiotic population protects the animal and keeps the system balanced.
Competitive exclusion limits space and nutrients for pathogens.
Natural antimicrobials and acidification suppress harmful bacteria.
Modulates innate immunity, helping shrimp and fish cope better with stress and disease pressure.
The Power
of Synergy
The combination of TipTopp Gut and TipTopp Pond creates a complete 360-degree protection strategy that optimizes both internal gut health and external water quality. While TipTopp Gut improves digestion and strengthens immunity from within, TipTopp Pond ensures stable water conditions by controlling ammonia and nitrite levels. This synergistic action not only delivers better individual performance but also strengthens the resilience of the entire system against stress and disease outbreaks.
