Bahtera is dedicated to providing innovative solutions for all business enthusiasts. In line with this commitment, on May 21, Bahtera organized a coaching clinic for shrimp farmers in Probolinggo. We collaborated with one of our esteemed principals, Adisseo. The event was titled “Coaching Clinic: Optimizing Shrimp Health by Adisseo with Bahtera.” It aimed to address the pressing issues of shrimp health and disease management.

Key Insights to Shrimp Health

Shrimp health remains a critical concern for shrimp farmers, as diseases can significantly impact productivity and profitability. Ensuring the health of shrimp involves several factors, including their habitat, water quality, and feed. Farmers must be able to recognize and understand shrimp behavior, such as gathering in the middle or at the sides of the pond, to assess their health status effectively.

During the coaching clinic, Bahtera and Adisseo introduced and demonstrated the use of three key products designed to maintain shrimp health and increase harvest yields: Sanacore® GM, Bacti-Nil® Aqua, and Aquavit C.

  1. Sanacore® GM: A functional feed additive that reduces the impact of diseases and parasites, thus optimizing shrimp productivity. Sanacore® GM actively works to optimize healthy gut microbiota and suppress the growth and virulence of disease agents.
  2. Bacti-Nil® Aqua: An effective and affordable organic acid blend that reduces the impact of pathogenic bacteria on shrimp productivity. Bacti-Nil® Aqua acts synergistically as an anti-bacterial agent targeting major pathogenic bacteria in aquaculture, including both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
  3. Aquavit C: Highly thermostable and bioavailable Vitamin C for fish and shrimp. Aquavit C remains stable during feed processing, helping to meet the essential Vitamin C requirements of all shrimp species for optimal growth, wound healing, improved stress resistance, and enhanced immunity and disease resistance.

White Spot Disease

During the clinic, we also addressed common shrimp diseases such as white spot disease and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP). White spot disease, caused by the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), is highly contagious and can lead to massive shrimp mortality. We discussed preventive measures, such as maintaining optimal water quality and biosecurity protocols, to minimize the risk of infection. Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is a microsporidian parasite that affects the hepatopancreas of shrimp, leading to stunted growth and significant economic losses. The importance of early detection and management strategies, including the use of functional feed additives like Sanacore® GM and maintaining a clean culture environment, were emphasized to control the spread of EHP.

The Audience Respond to the Importance of Shrimp Health

The coaching clinic attracted around 35 enthusiastic shrimp farmers who actively participated and engaged with the presenters. Their interest was evident through the numerous questions posed, highlighting the relevance and importance of the topics discussed.

Moving Forward

Building on the success of the coaching clinic, Bahtera is excited to announce our participation in the upcoming Shrimp Aquaculture Conference in Bali, scheduled for June 5-6, 2024. We invite all shrimp farmers to visit our booth at the event, where we will showcase Sanacore® GM, Bacti-Nil® Aqua, and Aquavit C.
