Olmix participates in Asian-Pacific Aquaculture 2017

 

 


At the Asian-Pacific Aquaculture event held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from July 25-27, besides running a booth at the event, the Olmix Aqua Care Team also gave a scientific presentation.

 
Mr. Alexandre Veille, in charge of aquaculture development at Olmix, delivered his scientific presentation entitled Shrimp L. Vannamei challenged with EMS/AHPND causing bacteria and the efficacy of clay, algae and copper premix on the health performance.

 

"EMS-related declines from 2011-13 were expected for China (-26%), Thailand (-47%) and Vietnam (-43%). India and Indonesia expected substantial increases in production 2011-13: +136 and +42% respectively, assuming no major impact from EMS/AHPNS. We should be aware of the health triangle: relationship of the micro-organism, the fish or shrimp and the environment. Disease occurs in the central area where the three circles overlap," he said.

 

Mr. Veille also shed light on disease treatment in aquaculture and gave some key points for disease prevention. According to him the "Olmix's natural solution MFeed helps to improve the morphology of the intestinal mucosa and has a positive effect on growth performance".

 
He also presented some MFeed trials on L. vannamei in order to show how the product helps to decrease the pathogenic pressure in the gut. "Shrimp fed with MFeed are less affected by vibrio spp. and have a higher survival rate in outbreak conditions. MFeed, a natural solution from Olmix, is an efficient alternative to support gut health and improve zootechnical performance," he concluded.
