Shrimp Reaches 69/kg in Just 54 Days — A Real Pond Case Study on Feed Control and 25% Water Exchange Reduction
Summary: A shrimp pond applying Than Vuong's environmental management and nutrition protocol achieved remarkable results: shrimp reached a size of 69 pieces per kilogram at 54 days of culture, with an FCR of 1.0 and a 25% reduction in water exchange compared to conventional methods. This article breaks down the complete protocol and the product combination behind these outcomes.
1. Real Results from the Pond
After 54 days of culture, the pond achieved the following indicators:
Shrimp size: 69 pcs/kg — fast and uniform growth
Morphology: glossy shells, full gut, healthy hepatopancreas
Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR): reduced to 1.0 — significant feed savings
Water exchange: 25% less compared to conventional practices
These outcomes are the result of three integrated factors: precise feed control — pond bottom and water management — targeted nutritional support for gut and hepatopancreas health.
2. Smart Water Management: 25% Reduction in Water Exchange
Instead of large periodic water changes, the pond applied this strategy:
Three small water exchanges per day — maintaining environmental stability
Strict feed control → less waste accumulation → cleaner pond bottom
Result: total water exchange volume reduced by 25% compared to conventional methods
Twin benefits of reduced water exchange
Lower pumping and water treatment costs
Reduced risk of introducing pathogens from external water sources
Stable key parameters: pH, alkalinity, algae density
Core principle: Feed accurately, sufficiently, and consistently — with no surplus. When feed waste is eliminated, pond water naturally maintains its quality without heavy exchange.
3. Daily Pond Environment Management
A healthy shrimp pond starts with a clean bottom and stable water. This is the role of the SOILMAX + OZYME+ combination.
SoilMax — Pond Bottom Treatment
Decomposes residual organic matter, dead algae, and shrimp feces
Reduces formation of toxic gases (NH₃, NO₂, H₂S)
Prevents accumulation of black sludge on the pond bottom
Ozyme+ — Multi-Strain Probiotic
Clarifies water and stabilizes algae color
Outcompetes harmful bacteria, including Vibrio spp.
Maintains a healthy beneficial microbiome in the pond
Outcomes from daily application
Pond bottom stays consistently clean
Stable water — no need for frequent exchange
Shrimp live in an optimal environment → strong feeding, rapid growth
4. Daily Nutrition Strategy — Two Feedings per Day
The Core Combination: AQUAMOS + PRO GUT
This is the foundation for gut health and overall shrimp condition, applied twice daily:
Aquamos
Strengthens natural immunity
Protects the hepatopancreas — the organ that determines growth rate and disease resistance
Pro Gut
Specialized intestinal probiotic
Supports complete digestion of feed → the key to FCR reduction
Produces firm feces, full gut, and optimal nutrient absorption
5. Targeted Support: FLASH + CLEVER — Alternating Every Other Day
In addition to the core combination, these two products are applied on a rotating schedule for enhanced performance:
Flash
Stimulates feeding appetite
Encourages strong, uniform growth
Clever
Stabilizes the gut
Supports firm feces and a full intestinal tract

6. Summary of Protocol Benefits
When Than Vuong's integrated environmental and nutritional protocol is applied, farmers can expect:
✅ 25% less water exchange → savings in electricity, water, and labor
✅ Lower FCR (down to 1.0) → significant feed cost reduction — the largest expense in shrimp farming
✅ Faster, more uniform growth → higher market price and shorter culture cycle
✅ Reduced disease risk from external water sources
7. Is Your Pond Facing Challenges?
If your pond is showing any of these signs, contact Than Vuong for a tailored protocol consultation:
Slow growth and abnormally high FCR
Frequent water exchange without improvement in shrimp health
Pale hepatopancreas, empty gut, loose feces
Black sludge accumulation, elevated NH₃ / NO₂ levels
