Vannamei Shrimp Probiotics and Its Benefits For Cultivation

probiotik udang vaname

Vannamei shrimp probiotics are essential in aquaculture, to be precise, to maintain shrimp health. Moreover, if the cultivation is carried out in intensive or super intensive type ponds with a high stocking density.

Before using probiotics, farmers used antibiotics to treat health problems in shrimp. However, people gradually realize that the use of antibiotics creates antimicrobial resistance, which harms the environment.

Through this article, we will learn more about vannamei shrimp probiotics and their benefits.

What is Vannamei Shrimp Probiotic?

Vannamei shrimp probiotic is a feed supplement in the form of live microbes that are beneficial for vannamei shrimp by providing balance to the intestines. Through the administration of this probiotic, the use of feed during cultivation can become more efficient.

However, in aquaculture, probiotics do not only play a role in the digestive system of farmed animals. Still, they can also increase the nutritional value, immune system, and improve water quality.

Types of Probiotics for Aquaculture

Probiotics for aquaculture are broadly divided into two types, namely, aqueous probiotics and gut probiotics. Each of these probiotics

1. Aqueous Probiotics

As the name suggests, the use of water probiotics in vannamei shrimp cultivation by mixing them directly into pond water. While the way it works is by inhibiting the development of pathogenic bacteria and improving water quality.

Usually, the bacterial strains used in this probiotic are Bacillus acidophilus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Nitrobacter spp., Aerobacter, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

2. Feed Probiotics

Feed probiotics are a probiotic used to improve the microbial balance in the intestines of vannamei shrimp. Usually, it is used by mixing the bacterial strain into the shrimp feed.

While the types of bacterial strains used include Lactobacillus or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, nitrifying bacteria, Streptococci, Roseobacter, and Bacillus sp. This bacterial strain works in the shrimp’s gut by modifying its microbial balance and inhibiting the growth of harmful microbes.

Benefits of Probiotics for Vannamei Shrimp

The use of probiotics provides positive benefits and impacts in vannamei shrimp cultivation. Some of these benefits include:

1. Stimulating Shrimp Immune System

The bacterial strains in probiotics act as immunostimulants to increase the body’s immunity in vannamei shrimp. This immune boosting can be done in three ways, namely:

  1. Increase macrophage activity
  2. Increasing the production of systematic antibodies in the form of immunoglobulins and interferons
  3. Increase local antibodies on mucous surfaces such as the intestinal wall.

2. Producing Bad Microbial Growth Inhibiting Compounds

Probiotics with lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus strains can produce several compounds that can inhibit the growth of harmful microbes. One of the most numerous and essential is the bacteriocin compound, a protein produced by certain strains.

3. Increased Nutritional Competition in Shrimp Intestines

Theoretically, nutrient competition plays a vital role in the composition of organisms in the vannamei shrimp gut. Increasing the presence of specific bacterial strains through probiotics may decrease the available substrate for other bacterial populations.

With competition for space in shrimp’s intestine or digestive tract, it can be an antagonistic mechanism for colonizing pathogenic bacteria by probiotics.

4. Avoiding the Disadvantages of Using Antibiotics

The use of antibiotics as a way to cure diseases in animals and humans has been around for a long time. However, antibiotics have a negative impact if used in the long term, namely the presence of bacterial resistance.

Therefore, probiotics can be a choice to avoid the harmful effects of these antibiotics.

5. Stimulates Growth and Improves Shrimp Nutrition

Not only feed with high nutrition, vannamei shrimp cultivation also requires protein content and good bacteria as well as several other supplements to maintain the health and growth of shrimp.

In this case, probiotic bacteria are the best choice for farmers. The reason is that, in several studies, it was found that shrimp growth can be more optimal with the presence of probiotics.

Vannamei Shrimp DOC 20, How is it Growing and How is the Feeding?

During cultivation, the growth of vannamei shrimp must constantly be monitored, including vannamei shrimp DOC 20. This is because this type of shrimp has a faster growth rate when compared to other kinds of shrimp.

For farmers, understanding growth patterns during vannamei shrimp cultivation are very important for successful cultivation. This is because the growth of vannamei shrimp also affects the feeding given to the shrimp.

So how is the growth of vannamei shrimp DOC 20, and how is the feeding? The following is an explanation we have summarized especially for you, which can be used as a reference.

Vannamei Shrimp Growth DOC 20

Vannamei shrimp DOC 20, which is still at the beginning of cultivation, has an ideal growth rate of 1-2.5 grams per week. At the same time, the ideal weight is approximately 2 grams per head.

This ideal growth can be obtained if the number of shrimp populations in the pond is by its capacity. On the other hand, if the pond has excess capacity, the growth of the vannamei shrimp in it can be lower than the ideal growth average.

So, how do you cultivate vannamei shrimp DOC 20 or, more precisely during the early stages of cultivation? Like aquaculture in general, farmers must continue to control shrimp and pond water conditions every day. This is useful for detecting more quickly if anomalies in shrimp growth and water conditions can harm aquaculture.

Vannamei Shrimp DOC 20 Cultivation

Vannamei shrimp cultivation always uses the age or day of culture (DOC) of shrimp as a benchmark in carrying out various actions related to pond management, one of which is how to feed it.

Feeding based on the age of the shrimp is helpful to prevent shortages or excess feed during cultivation which can inhibit the growth of vannamei shrimp.

Meanwhile, how to feed shrimp aged 20 days can be done by blind feeding method. While the type of feed given is in the form of granules with a frequency of 4 times a day and a feed dose of 25-15%.

This type of granule feed is suitable for shrimp from the age of 16 days to 45 days. Meanwhile, granules can be replaced with pellets until the vannamei shrimp are ready to harvest.
