Probiotics – The Protective Shield for Shrimp During the Rainy Season

The rainy season is always a sensitive period in shrimp farming, when pond conditions fluctuate strongly and pathogens can easily break out. This article will help farmers understand the impacts of rain, the important role of probiotics, how to choose the right product, and how to use it correctly to protect the shrimp stock

Probiotics – The Protective Shield for Shrimp During the Rainy Season

1. Impact of Rain on the Microbial System in Shrimp Ponds

The rainy season brings sudden changes in temperature, pH, and salinity in shrimp ponds. When rainwater flows in, the buffer system of the pond is easily disrupted, causing disturbances in the natural microbial community. Beneficial bacteria decline, while pathogenic bacteria gain the opportunity to grow rapidly.

In addition, heavy rain washes organic matter from the pond banks into the water, increasing bottom sludge and toxic gases such as NH₃ and H₂S. These factors are the main causes of stress in shrimp, making them more susceptible to liver and intestinal diseases and slowing their growth.

Without timely management measures, shrimp ponds in the rainy season can easily fall into biological imbalance, directly affecting survival rates and productivity. This is why probiotics become an essential solution to help farmers stabilize the environment and prevent diseases for shrimp during this period.

2. The role of probiotics in shrimp ponds

Probiotics are considered the “biological filtration system” in aquaculture ponds, especially important during the rainy season. When supplemented with the right type and proper dosage, probiotics help:

• Stabilize the microbial system: Provide beneficial bacteria that compete with and suppress pathogenic bacteria.
• Decompose organic matter: Quickly reduce bottom sludge and leftover feed, helping to minimize toxic gases.
• Control algae: Prevent algal blooms or sudden die-offs, which commonly occur after heavy rain.
• Support shrimp health: Certain gut probiotics enhance digestion and help prevent intestinal diseases.

The important point is that probiotics work completely naturally, safely, and without leaving any antibiotic residues. Farmers can combine multiple product lines to treat water, bottom sludge, and support gut health—creating a sustainable “biological shield” for shrimp during the high-risk rainy season.

3. How to choose the right probiotic for shrimp ponds in the rainy season

To effectively prevent diseases during the rainy season, farmers need to select probiotics tailored to each specific issue. Below are the probiotic lines from Mỹ Bình that are trusted by many shrimp farmers:

3.1 High-activity water-treatment probiotic PRO4000X PLUS

• Rapidly decomposes bottom sludge, leftover feed, and organic waste in shrimp ponds.
• Controls algae, reduces pathogens, and prevents toxic gases in the pond.
• Suitable for hatcheries, nursery ponds, and grow-out ponds (for both shrimp and fish).

3.2 ECO BLUE – Probiotic for Bottom Sludge Treatment

• Rapidly decomposes dirty sludge and black organic matter at the pond bottom after 3 days of use.
• Eliminates foul odors in the water and clears the pond bottom within 1 day of application.
• Hardens and stabilizes pond bottom soil, reducing the need for sludge pumping or dredging after each crop.
• Breaks down straw and rice stems into organic fertilizer within 7 days.
• Cleans water and stabilizes the environment within 2–3 days of use.
• Inhibits the growth of nấm đồng tiền (Dollar Spot fungus) in shrimp ponds.

3.3 Antagonistic Probiotic Against Hepatopancreas Atrophy and Empty Gut (TPD): ED WIN 90

• Antagonizes pathogenic bacteria in shrimp.

• Prevents and supports the treatment of hepatopancreas atrophy and empty gut syndrome.
• Reduces the risk of TPD.
• Helps strengthen the liver and improve gut health, promoting faster growth and ensuring shrimp reach standard weight in a shorter culture period.

3.5 Probiotic – TOP RHODO for Gut Disease Prevention

• Restores loose feces, segmented feces, soft feces, and two-color feces after just 1 day of use.
• Effectively prevents and treats white feces syndrome after 2–3 days of application.
• Improves undigested feed in feces, loose stools, and foul-smelling feces in pangasius, tilapia, frogs, and other fish species.
• Eliminates bad odors and cleans pond water effectively within 1 day of use.
• Inhibits pathogenic bacteria and maintains a stable pond environment throughout the culture period.

Combining these probiotic lines creates a comprehensive solution: water treatment – bottom cleaning – disease prevention – and digestive support. This is the key to helping farmers raise shrimp safely and achieve high productivity during the rainy season.

Using them correctly will maximize the effectiveness of the probiotics, reduce chemical costs, and protect the shrimp population throughout the rainy season.

The rainy season is a sensitive period, but with proper use of probiotics, farmers can turn risks into advantages. A stable microbial system not only helps prevent diseases during the rainy season but also delivers higher productivity and profitability.
