Shrimp are one of the main seafood species with an increased demand for human consumption. The top shrimp producers are changing due to regulatory and consumer influences to non-antibiotic production processes, while increasing final production and profitability. EW Nutrition Aqua Program together with an optimal pond and feed management positively influences shrimp performance parameters, leading to a more profitable production.

SHRIMP PERFORMANCE & ANTIBIOTIC REDUCTION
Shrimp is one of the main seafood species with an increased demand for human consumption. The top shrimp producers plan to use alternatives to antibiotics, while increasing production volume and profitability.
The prophylactic use of antibiotics is part of a common management practice in shrimp culture, every time being more associated to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and environmental risk.
The synergistic combination of SPC’s and organic acids is well known for its antimicrobial effects, increased production of enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract and stabilization of the gut flora. Activo® Aqua Program together with an optimal pond and feed management positively influences shrimp performance parameters, leading to a more efficient production.
