Shrimp animals need sufficient calcium during growth and spawning, because calcium plays an important role in the development of the exoskeleton of shrimps and spawning. Here are some tips to help increase your shrimp production and maintain their health.
Provide calcium-rich feed:
Calcium-rich ingredients such as shell powder, calcium carbonate, etc. can be added to the feed.
Balanced feed:
Make sure you provide your shrimp with a balanced feed, including protein, fat and vitamins, etc., which will help increase your shrimp's production and maintain their health.
Keep water clean:
Clean water helps shrimps digest and absorb calcium better.
Adjust water pH:
Maintaining an appropriate pH value, usually between 7.5 and 8.5, is conducive to the absorption and utilization of calcium by shrimps.
Add lime:
Adding an appropriate amount of lime to the culture water will help increase the calcium content in the water, making it easier for shrimps to obtain enough calcium.
Maintain appropriate salinity:
Appropriate salinity helps maintain the normal metabolism of shrimps and promotes the absorption and utilization of calcium.
Provide a suitable habitat:
Providing a suitable habitat for shrimps, including water quality conditions that are suitable for temperature, salt and oxygen, will help enhance their disease resistance and growth and reproduction capabilities.
Clean the breeding site regularly:
Regularly clean the breeding site to avoid siltation and deterioration of water quality, which helps to maintain clean and stable water quality.
It should be noted that raising aquatic products requires formulating different feeding plans according to different species and different growth stages. Through actual monitoring and adjustment, you can slowly find out the method that is most suitable for your own farm. In addition, when adding and controlling calcium, it is necessary to gradually adjust it according to the actual situation to avoid causing environmental instability and affecting the physiological balance of the shrimp. The best feeding plan also needs to be combined with the advice of veterinarians and breeding experts based on the actual situation.
