Microbe-Lift Nutri Pack is known as a product containing nutrients for fermenting probiotics for shrimp farming, produced in the US by the Ecological Laboratories. The product helps ensure the quality of probiotics after fermentation is good and stable, and can replace molasses.
Reasons to use probiotics to raise shrimp
Using probiotics in shrimp ponds brings many benefits to farmers such as: Helping to stabilize the pond water environment; decomposing leftover food, shrimp feces, dead algae, sludge…; helping to convert toxic gases NH3, NO2 into non-toxic forms for shrimp; improving shrimp resistance to disease-causing bacteria/viruses… Besides the above benefits, using probiotics in shrimp farming is also favored by many farmers because it is safe for humans and friendly to the environment.
However, with a safe and highly effective product, the cost is not cheap. Although for some types of probiotics, especially liquid probiotics – they contain live microorganisms and therefore can be used directly in the pond. However, to further improve the effectiveness of using probiotics, we should increase the population before using (the commonly used term is incubation). Therefore, many aquaculture engineers advise: “If you do not use probiotics for urgent purposes such as needing to quickly reduce toxic gases, or needing to quickly treat water… then you should incubate shrimp probiotics to increase the biomass of microorganisms before pouring them into the pond to help save farming costs and improve the effectiveness of microorganisms.”
As for powdered probiotics, most of the probiotic products for shrimp farming on the market today require users to incubate the probiotics to activate the microbial strains before using them in the pond.
Some reasons why farmers should use probiotics to raise shrimp can be summarized as follows:
- Helps activate the life of microbial strains (in powdered probiotics) and increase the biomass and density of microorganisms.
- Probiotics for shrimp farming, after being fermented and poured into the pond, have immediate effect because they have been activated and increased biomass before.
- Helps farmers reduce the cost of probiotics compared to adding them directly to the pond, thereby helping to reduce farming costs and increase profits when harvesting.
For example, 1 liter of Microbe-Lift AQUA C liquid probiotics is used to color water, treat and clean shrimp pond water. Farmers can ferment 500 liters – 1000 liters of secondary probiotics (the amount of finished product varies depending on the fermentation time, the fastest is to ferment with aeration within 24 hours), can be used 10 -15 times for a pond of 1000 cubic meters.
Using Microbe-Lift Nutri Pack to effectively ferment probiotics for shrimp farming
Microbe-Lift Nutri Pack is known as a product containing nutrients for fermenting shrimp microorganisms, produced in the US by the Ecological Laboratories. Previously, shrimp farmers often used molasses to ferment shrimp microorganisms because of its low cost. However, the quality of molasses was not guaranteed, affecting the quality of the microorganisms after fermentation, causing difficulties for farmers during use. Therefore, the nutritional product for fermenting shrimp microorganisms Microbe-Lift Nutri Pack was born to help farmers overcome this problem.
Uses of Microbe-Lift Nutri Pack:
- Provide microorganisms with minerals and nutrients for their biomass and growth.
- Supports algae growth at the beginning of the crop, while controlling algae growth at a moderate level and stabilizing water quality.
- Supports the decomposition of leftover food, shrimp manure, phytoplankton, etc. during the farming process, helping to create a clean water environment for shrimp to grow.
How to ferment probiotics for shrimp farming with Microbe-Lift Nutri Pack:
- Step 1: Pour the probiotics into the water container and dilute the mixture evenly. It is important to note that the characteristics of the water environment for fermenting probiotics must be similar to the water in the shrimp pond.
- Step 2: Pour Microbe-Lift Nutri Pack into the above mixture container at a dose of 10% of the amount of microorganisms needed to incubate. For example, 100 ml of AQUA C uses 10 ml of Microbe-Lift Nutri Pack with 50-100 liters of water (no need to add molasses), stir the mixture well.
- Step 3: Aerate the mixture for 24 hours, until the pH of the mixture after incubation is lower than the original, then it can be used.
In addition to being used to ferment microorganisms to raise shrimp, Microbe-Lift Nutri Pack nutrition is also used directly into the pond to provide nutrients for microorganisms available in the pond to increase biomass and grow faster to treat pollutants in the pond more effectively. The dosage for direct application into the pond is 100ml for 1000 cubic meters of water, applied periodically every 7 to 10 days.
