Some of the tips to minimize operational cost in shrimp farming.

Hello everyone:
       Today we will see about some of the steps to minimize the operational cost in shrimp farming. 
        Nowadays, it is very essential and important topic to discuss. The farm gate price for vannamei in India and other parts of the world decrease in recent days. 
        Farmers are struggling to manage their farm outputs. Today we will see some of the steps to control or minimize the operational cost. 

1. Optimize the stocking density, it is an important reason for many causes in shrimp farming. The first thing you have to minimize your stocking density. 
      Thereby the needs and operational will be low, It reduces some other inputs which may cause serious issues due to high stocking density. 

Seed selection is an important parameter for success of the crop. 

2. Opimize and increase the frequency of health products by reducing their dose. When your dumping all the dose in a single time will not greatly impact the results. If your using inputs at low to higher dose in multiple frequency will reduce the problem and gives better results. 

3. Proper biosecurity to reduce some of the serious issues. Whatever the stocking density but you have to follow proper biosecurity protocols to prevent loss and contamination. 

4. Increase fermentation and proper selection of probiotics. 

5. Avoid to give multiple supplements in a single day. 

6. Proper feed management by inspecting check tray in a proper time. 

7. Maitain primary Productivity of your pond throughout the culture for better immune response and growth of shrimp. 

8. Avoid usage of multiple chemicals in pond. If you are following proper probiotic protocol with optimum stocking density, you can reduce most of your serious problems in your pond. 

9. Applications will be based on requirements and not based on DOC and SIZE of shrimp. 

10. If your doing any application, it must be available to shrimp so the method of application should be proper. 

11. Avoid default things.

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)

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
