(Stabilized Vit-C)


Aquatic animals lack the ability to synthesize Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) as they do not possess the enzyme L Gulunolactone Oxidase which catalyses the final reaction step in the ascorbic acid synthesis from glucose or other simple precursors. Ascorbic Acid is essential for normal physiological functioning its essential that it has to be supplied through feed. Ascorbic Acid is sensitive to light, heat and metals and atmospheric oxygen and gets oxidized. The oxidized form of Ascorbic Acid is dehydroascorbic acid, which further gets oxidised to irreversible form of diketogulonic acid. Though the dehyroascorbic acid has some properties of Ascorbic Acid but diketogulonic acid is biologically inactive. Hence, stabilized form of vitamins have to be used in aquaculture
Ascorbic Acid is essential for normal growth, heath and reproduction. It is required for the optimal activity of several enzymes involved in hydroxylation reactions and in the metabolism of several nutrients and pharmacological agents in the body. It helps in the formation of collagen and wound healing. The above functions are carried out in the presence of Ascorbic Acid in its active form, hence, its very essential that the animal gets the right amount and right kind of vitamin C leads to slow growth, increased susceptibility to diseases, scoliosis lordosis etc.

SHRIMP-C is the choice of aqua farmers and it has been blended scientifically to deliver the right amount of Vitamin C to the shrimps.

ASCORBYL DIPOTASSIUM 2-SULFATE DIHYDRATE



Advantages:

  • Improves survival and growth
  • Relives deficiency of vitamin C
  • Dissolves in water yet it is stable Vitamin C hence requires no binder
  • Helps in wound healing
  • High bioavailabiltity for optimal Enzyme activities

Composition:

Ascorbyl di potassium 2 sulphate dihydrate (ASTOS) along with fillers and stabilizer

Dosage:

1 gm per kilo of feed. Dissolve 10 gms of Shrimp-C in 100 ml water and sprinkle over 10 kg of feed. Dry in shade for 5 mins and broadcast the feed.
