Feeding shrimp with Micromite

Since micromites are inorganic substances that are essential for shrimp growth, because they contain minerals that play an important role in various physiological processes, shrimp farmers should pay special attention to adding micromites to shrimp feed.

Throughout their growth, shrimp absorb minerals from both the food they are fed and from the environment in the pond. Among the minerals required by shrimp, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na) and potassium (K) are essential minerals for shrimp. These minerals perform various functions to maintain the shrimp's metabolic rate and aid in shell formation and control of acid-base balance and osmotic pressure.

Essential minerals for shrimp

1. Calcium

Calcium (Ca) is one of the minerals that plays an important role in the formation of shrimp shells during molting. The faster the shell forms, the greater the survival rate of the shrimp because the shrimp will be more active in finding food after molting. In addition, calcium can also reduce the increase in pH that may occur during the photosynthesis process.

2. Magnesium

Magnesium (Mg) plays a similar role to calcium for shrimp, namely in the formation of shells after molting. In addition, magnesium plays an important role in various metabolic processes, such as enzyme activity, protein synthesis, and energy production. Magnesium also helps to control pH and maintain osmotic balance in shrimp cells.

3. Sodium

The next important mineral for shrimp is sodium (Na), which is one of the components found in salt. Sodium helps to regulate osmotic pressure within the shrimp. Not only that, but sodium also helps in the absorption of carbohydrates. Lack of sodium can cause stress as the shrimp cannot control their internal environment.

4. Potassium

Shrimp also require adequate potassium (K) for growth. In addition to helping with osmotility along with sodium, potassium plays a role in cell division and supports normal tissue and organ development. Potassium aids in muscle development, helping shrimp grow strong.

Micromites are therefore useful for shrimp farming, including:

Maintain a constant soil pH
Maintain the water quality in the pond at a constant level.
Improving soil structure and fertility
Improving soil structure and fertility by acting as a micro-mineral for plankton.
Assists in the molting process
Increasing shrimp growth
It is a structural component of shrimp shells.
Help create a new shell
Stimulates metabolism and immune system
Control osmotic balance
Stimulates various enzymes

For shrimp, Micromite can be applied to the pond water and food. After the soil preparation process, add Micromite at a rate of 1-2 ppm/day before releasing the shrimp larvae into the pond. For plankton maintenance, Micromite can be applied at a rate of 1 ppm/week. Micromite can be mixed with 5-10 g/kg of food once a day.
