SELENIUM - MULTI-PURPOSE MINERAL

Benefits of selenium in aquaculture

POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY

• Prevents cell damage caused by free radicals.
• Oxidative stress is linked to chronic diseases.
• Protects cells from damage due to oxidative stress.

REDUCES DISEASE RISKS

• Combats melanization (activities that blacken pigments on the shell and muscle tissue caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites, leading to black spot disease in shrimp).

PROTECTS SHRIMP AGAINST DISEASES

• A selenium-rich diet helps reduce disease risks.
• Reduces the effects of muscle inflammation, bent body, and white muscle disease (due to thermal stress from farming conditions, a very sensitive reaction to the environment when farmed shrimp lack minerals).
• Increases the level of glutathione peroxidase, a powerful antioxidant that helps withstand environmental pressures in high-density farming.

PRESENCE IN CELLULAR TISSUE

• Selenium present in cellular tissues promotes cell 'health,' regulating metabolic processes favorably for shrimp growth and development.
• Selenium is actively transported through the intestinal wall, stimulating better feed metabolism.

ENHANCES IMMUNE SYSTEM

• Activates immune responses in the body, anti-inflammatory action, and timely immune response.
• Selenium deficiency causes damage to immune cells, slowing down immune responses, making shrimp more susceptible to external impacts or creating risks of superinfection from other disease sources.

INCREASES REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE AND RE-MATURATION

• Improves meat quality, egg quality, larval quality, growth performance, and increases re-maturation rates.

Conclusion

• Selenium is always considered an essential mineral for the body and vital activities of shrimp.
• It plays a crucial role in metabolic processes, helping the body avoid damage from oxidative stress, enhancing activities and health, as well as muscle mass accumulation in the body.
• Strengthens the immune system, reducing disease risk by promoting proactive immune responses.
• Enhances the overall health of aquatic animals in high-density farming conditions, where they face significant pressure from environmental factors.

With the 'unmissable' features mentioned above, Selenium deserves to be a must-have ingredient in aquatic animal nutrition, especially for shrimp.

Grasping modern nutritional trends and aiming for product perfection, Than Vuong introduces nutritional products for farmed shrimp, containing Selenium, promising to deliver outstanding and unexpected results.

ACTISEL – Integrates the benefits of Selenium and live yeast, an unparalleled combination for intestinal health and immunity in shrimp.

Furthermore, QUICKSHELL GOLD – a premium feed mineral line, a product already familiar to farmers, also contains Selenium in its ingredient list, combined with many other organic macro and micro minerals in a specialized nutritional base. All issues related to bent body, white muscle, soft shell, and mineral deficiency will be resolved – 'Heavy shrimp, lighter burden for farmers'.
