Shrimp aquaculture faces several challenges, including disease outbreaks. However, with proper management and preventive measures, the risk of disease outbreaks can be significantly reduced.
Pond preparation is crucial in preventing disease outbreaks. The following steps are essential in pond preparation:
- Removal of residual sludge helps eliminate potential disease-causing organisms and toxins that may have accumulated over time.
- Extensive bottom drying kills any remaining pathogens in the pond bottom.
- Sanitisation of pond bottom further ensures the elimination of potential disease-causing organisms.
- Soil testing helps ensure the soil is conducive to shrimp growth by testing for organic carbon and other essential mineral contents.
- Fertilisation enriches the pond with necessary nutrients for shrimp growth.
- Filling with good-quality water ensures optimal water quality for shrimp growth.
- Plankton development serves as a natural food source for shrimp and helps maintain water quality.
Selecting virus and pathogen-free healthy shrimp seeds is crucial to prevent disease outbreaks. Healthy shrimp seeds have a higher survival rate and are less likely to cause disease outbreaks.
Applying aqua-probiotics from the initial stage helps to maintain a healthy microbial balance in the pond, which can prevent disease outbreaks.
Regular monitoring and maintenance of water parameters and the condition of bottom sludge are essential to ensure a healthy environment for shrimp.
Providing good quality feed and managing feeding schedules effectively can prevent overfeeding and maintain water quality. It’s important to remember that "More Feed, More Growth, More Profit" is typically a myth.
Yeast provides mannan oligosaccharides and beta-glucans, which have various health benefits, including immune system modulation. Feed top-up with probiotics and yeast can help to boost the shrimp’s resistance to diseases.
Maintaining bio-security measures can prevent the introduction and spread of diseases.
By following this complete cycle, the chances of disease outbreaks can be significantly reduced, leading to a successful and profitable shrimp aquaculture.
