Abstract

RICA (Research Institute for Coastal Aquaculture) Maros, South Sulawesi has developed 5 probiotic preparations, namely RICA-1, RICA-2, Rica-3, RICA-4 and RICA-5 in liquid form to improve the cultivation of shrimp in the pond. To facilitate the distribution in its transportation, it is necessary to develop solid probiotics and test the application in the field. The purpose of this research is to know the number of bacteria in the water of the pond after the effervescent tablet is inserted until dissolved perfectly. Measurement of doubling time using sterile and non-sterile water ponds. Using effervescent tablets of probiotics with the coating concentrates 20% maltodextrin. Prolonged observation after a perfect soluble tablet is 24 hours. The results showed that after the effervescent tablets of probiotics were added to the pond water, the multiplication of bacteria still occurred after a 24-hour multiplication time test. Water pH sterile ponds tend to be neutral while non-sterile pond water pH tends to be alkaline. The time soluble probiotic effervescent tablets is 5.67 minutes where it still meets the standard of maximum 30 minutes.
