Striped catfish from nursery to grow-out: probiotics, digestive enzymes and feed protein and fat in new research
A trial published on 30 October 2026: adding 2 g/kg probiotic to feed containing a digestive enzyme cut FCR in 10 g catfish fingerlings from 1.60 to 1.33 over 90 days; higher doses did no better. In grow-out, 28% protein feed beat 32% on FCR, while 8% fat built up belly fat. Plus two trials on survival.
Research & trialsPreventing white feces from the gut: two new trials feeding beneficial bacteria and metabolites taken from healthy shrimp
A Ningbo University (China) team looked for what healthy shrimp guts have and white-feces guts lack, then fed it back for 14 days before challenge. Four beneficial strains cut deaths from 30.4% to 5.2% (2024); pyruvic acid and glutamine cut them from 45.2% to 12.7% (2026). Results from 50-litre tanks with a Vibrio challenge; no pond trial yet.

Survey of 110 Asian shrimp farms: 60% of shrimp have poor gut health, even on well-run farms
A survey of more than 110 shrimp farms in China, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia, with over 5,000 gut samples: 60% of shrimp had poor or critical gut health; those with good gut scores were about 20% heavier on day 60.

Is the frequent recurrence of EMS/AHPNS/TPD a result of the ecological imbalance caused by the use of Chlorine?
“The limitations of disinfectants in the field” by Dr. Stephen G. Newman highlights the limitations of using disinfectants (such as chlorine) in shrimp farming, especially concerning EMS/AHPNS (Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Syndrome) and TPD (Transparent Post-larvae Disease).

Pond water quality is the most important for a successful crop, alongside pathogen-free seedstock.
Ensuring pond water quality plays a crucial role in the success of the culture cycle, alongside the use of disease-free seedstock. A balanced pond water ecosystem will help farmed shrimp grow healthily, reduce the risk of disease outbreaks, and optimize productivity. Below is an analysis of important factors and water quality control solutions to protect the pond.

Balancing the Rearing Environment with Specialized Probiotics MAX 4000 NEW
Currently, water quality management in shrimp ponds is one of the primary concerns for shrimp farmers, as inadequate water quality is a major cause of shrimp diseases, slow growth, feed refusal, and mortality.

How does salinity affect EHP infection rate in whiteleg shrimp?
EHP causes lesions in the hepatopancreatic tubule epithelial cells (HP), and its main clinical signs are slow growth leading to increased size variation. White fecal strings floating on the pond water surface and the presence of shrimp with white coloration in the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) in these ponds are also associated with EHP. In the advanced stage of the disease, EHP-infected shrimp often exhibit soft shells, lethargy, reduced feed intake, an empty midgut, and chronic mortality.
