Prebiotics and Probiotics: Prebiotics and probiotics can restore the balance of bacteria in the digestive tract. Probiotics contain beneficial bacteria that can be found naturally in various foods. When probiotics are consumed, these healthy bacteria will migrate to the intestinal tract. Common strains include Lactobacillis and Bifidobacterium families of bacteria. Prebiotics are non-digestible foods that make their way through the digestive system and help good bacteria grow and flourish. Prebiotics keep beneficial bacteria healthy. Prebiotics in the Diet: Prebiotics that feed the beneficial bacteria in the gut mostly come from carbohydrate fibres called oligosaccharides. These are not digested, so the oligosaccharides remain in the digestive tract and stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria. Sources of oligosaccharides include fruits, legumes, and whole grains. Fructo-oligosaccharides may be taken as a supplement or added to foods. Yogurt made with bifidobacteria contain oligosaccharides. Probiotics in the Diet: Probiotic bacteria like lactobacilli are naturally found in fermented foods like sauerkraut and yogurt. Some foods will have added probiotics as healthy nutritional ingredients, which will be evident on the label.

Developed to reduce or eliminate many of the problems associated with keeping and breeding Koi, Saki-Hikari is the worlds first and most advanced probiotic Koi diet. The result of many years of research, development and extensive experience with leading Japanese Nishikigoi breeders, Saki-Hikari is now available to hobbyists worldwide.

The secret of Saki Hikari.

All of the Saki-Hikari diets include a beneficial living bacteria named the Hikari germ. This is a strain of Bacillus bacteria which proliferates in the Koi's intestine and brings many benefits. The result is extraordinary digestion, a consistent increased rate of growth, less pollution of the pond water and healthier Koi. The Hikari germ are known as probiotics, the benefits of which are well documented in the human diet (e.g. Yoghurt and Yakult) as well as in livestock breeding and aquaculture.

The Hikari germ process.

The Hikari germ works in four stages. First when a diet containing the Hikari germ is fed, the bacteria breed in the intestine. Secondly the Hikari germ creates increased levels of digestive enzymes, which significantly improve the Koi's ability to digest the food, and thereby utilising more or the beneficial content of the food, and causing less solid waste. Thirdly, because the Hikari germ is probiotic, these friendly bacteria out compete any 'bad bacteria' present for a food source, and their population naturally decreases. Lastly, less waste produced in the digestive process means less pollution in the pond, and therefore better, more consistent water quality. Also the probiotic actions of the Hikari germ continue to be of benefit, even when expelled by the Koi and continue to help break down waste products and organic sludge in the pond.

The Four Formulae

Saki Hikari is available as a Basic diet, a Colour diet, a Growth diet and a Multi season diet. All the diets contain the Hikari germ, wheat germ inner kernel, Spirulina and many important vitamins. Guaranteed analysis minimum 40% crude protein, between 6 and 9% crude fat, 1% crude fibre, 10% moisture and between 15 and 17% crude ash.

Automatic Koi Feeders

Automated fish feeders have been in use now for some time and have always proved useful where koi owners are on holiday or even just at work, then an Automatic Feeder is a must to ensure that your koi are fed little and often - i.e. the correct way, rather than feeding more heavily once or twice per day. This will substantially reduce waste produced by uneaten and poorly digested food. This in turn aids filter performance and helps keep water in a better condition. In addition your Koi will grow better and overall you will use less food.

Aqua Forte Fish Feeder The Aqua forte fish feeder can be programmed to feed up to five times per day. It can hold up to 6 litres of Koi food with a pellet size of between 2mm and 10mm. It can feed up to 1.5kgs of food per day and can place the food in the pond at different places as it flicks, rather than drops the food into the pond. This enables the unit to place food at distances from 1.5 metres to 4 metres from the edge of the pond. However the unit will NOT spread food everywhere as it has a directional hopper to ensure the food ends up where you want it. Again fantastic value for money.	Size	Price

FOK Japanese Fish Feeder The FOK Auto Feeder represents the very best of automatic feeders and have been in use around the world for over 20 years, always providing optimum results and added benefits for any Koi pond. The feeder is fabricated from ABS plastics and is manufactured to run on 110 volts. A transformer for 240 volts is supplied . The great thing about this feeder is that all service parts are available, from the motor, spare flicker blades and the timer/programmer. The remote programmable/timer will permit many possible different feeding schedules. It also features automatic, on and off modes without loss of timed feeds. The clock features Summer/Winter time adjustment, and 12 (am/pm) or 24 hour modes. The unit can administer up to 10 feeds per day with actual feeding times set from 1 minute upwards. The FOK delivers food in a random mode across the surface of the pond, with the use of a cleverly designed flicker system, so fish will not crowd round near the feeder when they know its feeding time. The FOK Auto Feeder holds approximately 4kg of food dependant on size of pellet and a visible window helps determine when a refill is required.
