Analyzethe array of special specialized literature and to summarize the information obtained regarding the use of the drug «Actigen» in the sub-branches of animal husbandry, to highlight its main characteristics and mechanism of biological action, to substantiate the prospects of its use in fish farming. Findings. An analysis of modern scientific publications is presented, which reflect the peculiarities of the drug «Actigen», as well as its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Its advantages among prebiotic preparations, the effectiveness of its use in animal husbandry and aquaculture, as well as the degree of scientific and research coverage of this issue are outlined. Literary data on the main directions of this drug action to the fish organism are summarized. Thus, the effect of «Actigen» on the intestinal microbiome and non-specific immunity of fish is highlighted. The possibility of replacing it with the use of antibiotics and therapeutic and preventive drugs in fish farming was considered. The prospect of nourishing this drug as an additive to the main feed was analyzed in order to reduce the feed conversion ratio and improve fish-biological indicators. The expediency of using the drug «Actigen» in fish feeding is shown. Practical Value.
