The gut is crucial for shrimp.  The intestinal tract of shrimp is the main digestive organ, all the food eaten must be digested and absorbed through the intestinal tract, so the intestinal tract of shrimp is very important. And the gut is not only the main digestive organ of shrimp, but also an important immune organ. We must do a good job in shrimp intestinal protection.

 

☆☆☆☆☆☆How to improve the intestinal health of shrimp?

1. Keep the water quality healthy.

When the water body deteriorates, it will produce a large number of harmful bacteria and produce a large number of toxins, which will produce stress on the intestinal tract of shrimp, and it is very easy to destroy the balance of intestinal flora of shrimp, and the growth of harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract will lead to intestinal diseases of shrimp.

2. Scientific feeding.

It is very important to feed prawns. We should insist on feeding a small amount of prawns with many meals; After feeding for 1.5 hours, the shrimp with empty stomach rate over 30% should be fed more, and the shrimp with empty stomach rate below 30% should be fed less; When the water temperature is lower than 15 ℃ or higher than 32 ℃, feed less; Excessive feeding will increase the intestinal burden of shrimp and cause intestinal damage. Thus, in the later stage, it will lead to slow growth of prawn, and the size of prawn will not go up.

3. Prevention and health care.

In the process of shrimp culture, prevention is more important than cure, which should be the first principle. Potassium diformate is added to the mixture. Potassium diformate mainly exists in nature. It is mainly composed of small molecule organic acid formic acid and potassium ion. It is metabolized into CO2 and water and has complete biodegradability. Potassium dicarboxylate is not only highly acidic, but also slowly released in the digestive tract. It has a high buffer capacity and can avoid excessive fluctuations in animal gastrointestinal acidity. The results showed that 85% potassium dicarboxylate passed through pig stomach and entered duodenum in intact form. The recovery rate of formate in duodenum, anterior jejunum and middle jejunum was 83%, 38% and 17%, respectively. It can be seen that Potassium diformatemainly plays a role in the anterior segment of small intestine. The release of potassium ions can also improve the utilization rate of lysine. The unique anti microbial function is based on the combined action of formic acid and formate. The most acidic organic acid per unit weight is monocarboxylic acid, which has strong anti microbial effect. The non dissociative formic acid can pass through the cell wall of bacteria and dissociate in the cell to decrease the pH value. Formate anions decompose bacterial cell wall proteins outside the cell wall, and play the role of sterilization and inhibition of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Therefore, Potassium diformatecan improve the intestinal health of prawn, reduce the incidence rate of intestinal diseases such as shrimp enteritis and white stool.

☆☆☆☆☆☆How to maintain shrimp intestines?

The improvement of shrimp intestinal tract not only makes shrimp nutrients fully absorbed, improves feed ratio and saves cost; Meanwhile, the shrimp intestine as a better immune organ, can enhance the immunity of shrimp, reduce the incidence rate of intestinal diseases and so on, to maximize the efficiency of breeding. Potassium diformate for aquatic use can promote the intestinal development of shrimp, reduce the amount of fresh food, improve the intestinal health, prevent intestinal lesions, and enhance the physical fitness of shrimp.
