Oxidative stress is one of the major concerns in shrimp culture.
The accumulation of inorganic ammonia & nitrogen compounds
resulting from the faeces of shrimps, organic matter and the leftover
feed affects the growth and lead shrimps to a stressful condition.
More specifically, intensive conditions produce large amounts of
ammonia emissions, which induce oxidative stress, immune
suppression and inflammatory features in the shrimp's body
metabolism.The addition of Amosorb improves the quality of
aquaculture water and reduces the accumulation of ammonia in
shrimp farming practices.
The reduced levels of accumulated ammonia would result in the
balance of protein metabolism in the shrimps body and a reduction
in energy consumption.
Additionally, the application of Amosorb extract is also recognized
as a powerful tool for reducing the ammonia levels in shrimp culture ponds.
Amosorb is applied mainly to reduce the levels of ammonia
emissions in aquaculture ponds due to its content of steroidal
saponin fractions, which has surface-active properties and can bind
to ammonia via glycol-component fractions.
Hence, the feed utilization, growth performance, and physiological
status of Shrimps can be improved by Amosorb application.
Amosorb is an alternative approach to overcoming the excessive
use of antibiotics for eco-friendly Aquaculture.
