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 ol Amosorb extract is also recognized as a
powerful tool for reducing the ammonia levels in shrimp culture pornds.
Amosorb is applied mainly to reduce the levels of ammonia emissions in
aquaculture ponds due to its content of steraidal 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.
