Why do shrimp in ponds often get sick?
Potassium, magnesium and super calcium minerals are considered indispensable vitamins in the shrimp farming process. Have you ever wondered why shrimp and fish in the open ocean rarely get sick? For a simple reason, the ocean is a place where abundant and endless sources of potassium, magnesium and super calcium are available. Shrimp and fish living in this environment absorb minerals continuously from day to day and become healthy. strong and never get sick.
The importance of minerals in shrimp ponds
The ocean environment is perfect for fish and shrimp to live and grow. We do not need to impact or do anything else because the mineral content in the ocean is always available and adequate for fish and shrimp.
But in the process of raising shrimp, we must supplement the amount of minerals because in shrimp ponds, when salt water is taken into the pond, it contains a certain amount of potassium, magnesium and super calcium, within 5-7 days of shrimp and fish. will absorb all of this mineral, and then farmers need to periodically add additional minerals depending on the appropriate salinity and density of shrimp farming in the pond. They should supplement fully and promptly if minerals are lacking. will cause body curvature disease in shrimp and a number of other diseases.
Farmers who lack knowledge and do not understand anything about minerals or cannot appreciate the importance of minerals will often not achieve high results at the end of the shrimp farming season.
Method of adding minerals to shrimp ponds
Farmers must know how to add appropriate minerals according to the age of the shrimp. Depending on the age of the shrimp, farmers mix potassium, magnesium and super calcium into the food in a certain amount to beat periodically. The larger the shrimp, the farmer must gradually increase the amount of minerals and shorten the fishing period until the end of the farming season.
The ratio of mixing potassium magnesium and super calcium into specific food is as follows and then beating periodically every 5-7 days:
From the time of stocking shrimp until 25 days old: potassium magnesium and super calcium each 10 grams/1kg of food
From 26 days old to 45 days old: potassium magnesium and super calcium each 20 grams/kg of food
From 46 days of age until the end of the farming season: potassium magnesium and super calcium each 30 grams/kg of food
Regularly beat every 3 - 5 days: 1000m3/100,000 fish, we beat potassium magnesium and super calcium each 2 kg. Depending on the pond area and shrimp stocking density, we can increase or decrease the amount of potassium magnesium and super calcium. calcium accordingly.
It is recommended to use super calcium in fisheries and potassium magnesium in agriculture because of its low price and high mineral content. There are two types of potassium magnesium: organic and inorganic. Organic potassium magnesium is better than inorganic.
Inorganic potassium magnesium + microorganisms to treat pond water must be aerated with oxygen to convert inorganic to organic. After aeration, mix with food or spread directly into the pond.
The higher the salinity in the pond, the corresponding potassium, magnesium and super calcium content, also known as the standard level, must also be based on the density of shrimp in the pond, not just on the basis of Depending on the salinity is enough, the density of shrimp in the pond is high, the mineral content must be increased 2, 3, 4 times the standard.
Microbiological treatment of shrimp pond water
A product used to combine with minerals used in the shrimp farming process, imported from the US with carefully selected and researched microbial strains that will bring high efficiency in treatment. pond water, reduces NH3, NO2, algae, green algae... helps shrimp stay healthy and digest food better, limiting the ability of bacteria to cause disease.
