ShrimpShield™

Outcompetes pathogenic microorganisms including vibrio to improve shrimp health.

Specially formulated probiotics designed to:

  • Boost shrimp health 

  • Improve immunity

  • Out compete pathogens including Vibrio

  • Devour organic waste and sludge

BOOST SHRIMP HEALTH

ShrimpShield creates an immense colony of beneficial and desirable bacteria that dominate the biofloc community, outcompeting pathogenic microorganisms through competitive exclusion. This not only enhances water quality but also contributes to increased health and survival of the shrimp. 

INCREASE IMMUNITY

As probiotic bacteria are consumed, they produce compounds that are inhibitory toward pathogens, boost the shrimp’s immune response, and compete with harmful microorganisms for nutrients and habitat.

IMPROVE WATER QUALITY

ShrimpShield probiotics also actively consume organic waste and uneaten food, preventing the accumulation of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate — substances that can become toxic, cause health problems, and are difficult to remove. This waste conversion into valuable bacterial biomass improves Feed Conversion Ratios (FCR). It serves as a protein-rich food source, leading to reduced sludge, improved water quality, and increased profitability. The decrease in organic waste not only contributes to enhanced pond bottoms but also results in decreased labor costs and reduced pollution. The improved water quality further reduces the need for water exchanges, increasing biosecurity measures.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens
Bacillus pumilus
Bacillus licheniformis

Appearance: Tan, Granular

Odor: Yeast

Effective Temp. Range: 10° to 38°C

Physical Specs

ShrimpShield is available in 1 kg or 11 kg buckets. Each bucket contains pre-portioned water-soluble bags, each weighing 250 grams. These bags dissolve in less than a minute, quickly releasing their contents near the surface for rapid and convenient dispersal.

Application Rate

Evenly distribute ShrimpShield over water surface. As the water-soluble bags dissolve, ShrimpShield disperses throughout the water column and across the pond bottom.

Initial Dosage:
1 kg (4 bags) per hectare every 3 days, for 10 days.

Maintenance Dosage:
0.5 kg (2 bags) per hectare once every 5 days throughout the remaining growth cycle.

Tip:
Under suspected disease conditions, increase application rate to 2x the maintenance dose. Contact Keeton Industries with questions regarding your challenging conditions.

Storage and Handling

Keep plastic bucket tightly closed to protect ShrimpShield bags from ambient humidity and rainfall. Store indoors, in a cool, dry place. Protect from freezing. Avoid inhalation and eye contact. After handling ShrimpShield, wash hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water.

No refrigeration required. ShrimpShield remains viable at room temperature (25°C) for over 2 years.

PATHOGENIC VIBRIO LEVELS

Probiotic strains are carefully chosen for their specific attributes, effectively combating highly pathogenic gram-negative bacteria such as Vibrio, Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, and Columnaris. By utilizing multiple modes of action, these probiotics help maintain control over pathogenic bacteria, preventing them from reaching problematic population levels.

THE SCIENTIFIC WAY TO

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

Probiotics are a fraction of total production costs. Using probiotics will reduce the cost of labor, feed and maintenance, while increasing overall growth and survival of the animals, which increases profits. Farmers have experienced survival of up to 100% with increased growth rates between 10% and 35%.
