Best Natural feed supplement for Penaeus vannamei.

Hello everyone:
         Today we will see about the best natural feed supplement for vannamei. In last blog we saw about sulphate polysaccharides. 


          Now we will see about the supplement which naturally have antiviral activity. 

Spirulina:
        We all know about spirulina. It is a bluegreen algae. It is highly nutritious algae. It contains high level of protein ( 60-70 % ) then essential amino acids, minerals, polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidative pigments etc.. 

 # Due to the absence of cellulose cell wall, it can be easily digested and assimilated by organism. 

Presence of antimicrobial and antiviral activity: 
         Due to presence of sulphate polysaccharides, it has high antiviral activity. 
          When it is supplemented in feed then these essential substance can be easily available in organic form to the organism. 
       
Detoxification:
            It has another important property of removing toxic metals present in the body and surroundings by chelation. It helps the animal for fast growth. 

Presence of essential pigments:
            Pigments are very important for shrimp growth. It also helps for colouration of animal. Beta carotene in spirulina increases the metabolism and growth of the shrimp. It also helps for thickening of shrimp shell. 

Researches shows spirulina is the best feed supplement which increases the body immune system by rapidly increasing macrophages function. 

It also have important intracellular antioxidant which is perfectly involves and removes the free radicals in the shrimp body. It is also prefer to give at the time of stress. 

Chelated form of minerals:
       We already saw about importance of chelated minerals in feed supplement. They can be easily and directly assimilated by the shrimp body. 
         If you are fed your shrimp with spirulina then it will give chelated forms of minerals in organic form. 

# Spirulina has more unique features where no other algae don't have. 


The growth, survival, immune system, antimicrobial mechanism of an organism are increasing when you are fed with spirulina as a supplement. 

We can also set a small culture unit of spirulina in our farm. It is a very good natural food.

Better clarification about pH and Alkalinity in shrimp pond. Water quality series -3

Image
  Hello everyone:     Most of us confused between pH and alkalinity in the pond ecosystem. If there is low concentration of pH and alkalinity means we can increase but if there is high pH and alkalinity means it is some difficult to reduce .           pH and Alkalinity are related but different. pH and Alkalinity:       If you have shrimp pond then you definitely know the variance of pH in the water. You want to know means , you can check 4 to 5 times in a day. you must saw the pH fluctuations. Yes, pH is very important factor determines the shrimp culture. based on the level of pH you can tell , what happening in your shrimp pond.       Fluctuations of pH is mainly determined by amount of carbon dioxide in your pond water. Other factors like soil pH, soil deposits like calcium carbonate, planktons density also determines the changes of pH in your water.   pH :       I am also tell the same meaning, pH is determined by hydrogen ion concentration.             pH low - high hydrogen

How copepods develops in shrimp pond after applying fermented juice?

Image
Hello everyone:      Are you know which is shrimp favourite food in zooplanktons? Yes, it is copepods. Shrimp eats more copepods which is present in the pond.       In last blog, I told about the reactions and preparation of fermented juice using organic substrates. It is the continuation of that blog. In this I will tell about how zooplanktons(especially copepods) developed after fermented juice application. Main purpose of fermented juice in shrimp pond:      Increase the beneficial microbial colonies by fermentation and produce various substances which is beneficial for beneficial organism growth. After application, it will forms the microbial proteins in the water column. It serve as a natural food for shrimp at stocking time.     Initially, we have to give some natural live feeds because it increases the strength and natural immune system of the Shrimp. So only we prepared for development of zooplanktons in the pond.   What are planktons?         Phytoplankton and Zoo

How temperature plays major role in shrimp farming.(Water quality series - 1)

Image
Hello everyone:      Today we will see the importance of temperature in shrimp culture. What are the problems will come due to the temperature variance in shrimp pond.      Most of the persons who doing shrimp farm must know about the things what happened during temperature Change.       Shrimp grows very fastly, but we can't culture throughout the year. Why?     If you are doing intensive or super intensive system means no problem. But you are doing the culture of shrimp on outside means you have to fix the culture days based on climate change(keep in mind). Ok let's jump into topic. Temperature :       Most of the farmers doing in outer earthern pond. So in these situations, temperature plays important role in growth of our shrimp. We all focus only on ammonia, nitrite, H2S, but indirectly temperature plays very crucial role.         Heat is produced in water due to sunlight. Because sunlight have some energy in the form of photons , when it comes to contact with
