(Yucca with bioconverters)
Aquatic animal perform all their bodily functions in water therefore
to a great extent the quality of the water determines the success
or failure of the aquaculture operation. Ammonia is introduced
into the pond water as a by-product of animal metabolism and by decomposition
of organic matter by the bacteria population. The toxicity of
ammonia
is attributed mainly to its unionized form. As this concentration
in water increases, ammonia excretion by the aquatic organisms
diminish and causes levels of ammonia in blood and other tissues to increase.
This results in an elevation in blood pH and causes adverse effects
on catalyzed enzyme reactions and membrane stability. Ammonia
increases
oxygen consumption by tissues, damages gills; and reduces the
ability of the blood to transport oxygen. Disease susceptibility also increases
in organisms exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of ammonia.
Today’s
focus in aquaculture has shifted more towards semi-intensive
units and therefore it has become imperative to effectively counteract
the problem of ammonia and maintain the highest water quality
to operate successfully.
COMPOSITION:
The
concentrated extract of yucca schidigera, carrier (pulp from the
processed yucca schidgera plant), bioconverters and
stabilizers. The active component of the yucca schidigera plant
is steroidal sapogenin. These molecules are essential for reducing
ammonia and other noxious compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide.
They also are critical for increasing DO levels and reducing
levels of
BOD and COD.
MODE
OF ACTION:
This
all-natural compound has the inherent ability to reduce ammonia
in the pond environment and as well as in the
intestine of the aquatic species it is used on. The steroidal
sapogenin molecule is also a natural surfactant, which allows
for better nutrient
utilization by the bacteria that digest the waste material
in pond bottoms. Finally, this molecule is also a very potent
anti-protozoal
compound. As protozoa populations are reduced, beneficial bacteria
populations in the pond grow and reproduce more effectively,
utilizing
ammonia and other waste by-products more efficiently. This
creates an environment that is more conducive for the growth of
aquatic
species. It also has this same effect in the digestive tract
of the shrimp too. This reduction in intestinal ammonia slows
down the tissue turnover process, allowing for better nutrient
utilization
by the shrimp.
ADVANTAGES:
- Reduces
ammonia and other noxious gases
- Reduces
BOD and COD.
- Increases
shrimp survivability
- Optimizes
FCR
- Enhances
immune response.
- Works
synergistically with probiotics.
DOSAGE:
Pond: Use 500 grams per hectare of 1-metre water column or consult
your aquaculture specialist for specific usage. It can be mixed
with dry sand and broadcasted directly over the pond.
Feed: 1 gm/kg of feed: Mix 5 gms of PROSAP
in water and apply the supernatant over 5kg feed. Shade dry
for 5 minutes and feed
the animals.
PACKING:
200 Gms, 500 Gms.
