| Whilst having a personal preference for
Kusuri products and seldom use any other treatments and
applications, I think its fair to point out to those reading
this article, I and Koi-unleashed have no vested interest in
Sabbactisun or Kusuri Products.
We do not work for the afore mentioned. Also I/we pay the
exact same price the general public pay for Kusuri products and
gain no commission from any recommendations.
My/Koi-Unleashed’s only interest is in the testing of new
exciting products to further the education of the koi hobbyist,
and if that product happens to fail, it will be reported as
such.
Thanks - Duncan
Before this article commences, I think a
word or two from the main importer and appointed research and
testing consultants of Sabbactisun, “Kusuri products” would
be first order of the day, in that way we will gain a better
picture of what this treatment is aimed at and all about.
Over to Kevin at Kusuri
Kusuri-Sabbactisun
A treatment Totally free of toxic chemicals for bacterial
infections
European aquatic development specialists, Fish Health Pro, in
conjunction with Kusuri Products are proud to announce the
release of Sabbactisun.
Kusuri-Sabbactisun (KS)
Is a unique natural remedy for use against bacterial infections
in fish, which can be manifest as many and varied symptoms such
as fin rot, ulcers, bulging eyes (exophthalmia) mouth rot,
fungus, raised scales, and bacterial related dropsy. KS enhances
the immune system of the fish without any risk of resistance as
with antibiotics and chemicals.
KS IS NOT AN ANTI- BACTERICIDE! It is harmless to all nitrifying
filter bacteria, all aquatic plants, KS is rapidly
biodegradable. KS is so safe it has been thoroughly tested on
very sensitive aquatic creatures even shrimps & fry. KS
works by expelling external pathogens from the host and
stimulating the immune response system.
Background:
Regular treatments such as antibiotics target and kill the
non-resistant bacteria that destroy cellular tissue. However
this does not repair damaged tissue. KS stimulates immune
response and speeds up damaged tissue regeneration. Even deep
ulcerations can be healed in a surprisingly short time span. A
wound or ulcer that has been treated with antibiotics still
remains a sensitive point for re-infection so even if an
antibiotic treatment has been administered use KS to prevent
possible re-infection. Most Chemicals and all antibiotics are
detrimental to vital nitrifying bacteria ( the filter bio mass).
KS does not kill nitrifying bacteria; water quality is an
important factor in any disease treatment. Feeding can continue
and Filters systems can safely operate and should be left
running. KS facilitates this key factor as a suitable stable pH;
near zero Ammonia & Nitrite are critical for any effective
therapy. Abuse and misuse of Antibiotics now more than
ever result if fish not responding to treatment as many bacteria
are resistant to many antibiotics, using antibiotics without
anti- biogram investigation is literally “a shot in the
dark” With the emergence of now many antibiotic resistant
bacterial strains KS can be invaluable aid in treating diseased
fish.
A treatment course in a quarantine tank will always be more
economical, but when it is not possible to catch affected fish
KS can be safely used in all ponds {provided ozone if used and
activated carbon are either switched off or bypassed}.
Advantages over chemical bactericides
1.No detriment to any filter bacteria (nitrifying cycle) or
friendly bacterial additives such as Pro-100, sludge reducing or
natural blanket weed cures etc,
3. 100% natural plant and herbal products.
4. Stimulates immune system
5. Non toxic, for fish and humans and plants
6. Effective and can even be used in salted freshwater ponds.
7. Feeding may be continued.
8. Reduces stress
9. Unlike harsh chemicals, there is no significant depletion of
dissolved oxygen in water.
10. Does not cause resistance
11. Does not discolour water or damage silicone sealants.
12. Safe! Even if accidentally overdosed.
13. Can be used for stress reduction during and after transport.
14. Can be used in quarantine tanks or ponds and interconnected
systems
How to use Kusuri- Sabbactisun
For best results use KS in hospital/ quarantine arrangement,
water temperature is critical to successful treatment and 72f
(22c) is recommended.
1.Curing the inflammation / wound.
The blood red colour will gradually change to light pink or
white. This will take between 5 to 20 days depending on the
severity of the ulcer. Dose daily until the ulcers have changed
to light pink / white.
2. Regeneration of the missing tissue.
Because fish are cold-blooded creatures, tissue regeneration has
a direct correlation to the water temperature and again will be
dependent on the severity of the damage and this can take from
2- 6 weeks. Dose every other day until the wound is healed.
(Dosing daily can speed repair) Little tissue repair will occur
if water temperature is below 65F (18c)
3. Acclimatising fish to ponds / tanks
Add 1 dose as an immune stimulant / de-stressant on the addition
of new stock to new ponds/ tanks etc.
4. Transport additive
For moving or shipping fish in transport bags etc add at
standard dose rate (1 ml to 20 litres)
In many cases fish health diseases are caused by bad living
conditions (overcrowding, poor water quality, parasitic induced
damage) persistent chemical immersion. Always examine potential
root causes to avoid recurrent problems.
KS has a guaranteed shelf life of 1 year when if kept at room
temperature. Store in the dark away from sunlight do not freeze.
Dosage: 1ml to 4 UK gallons daily. Mix with tank / pond water
and distribute over surface.
