Shrimp disease outbreak has tremendously impact ed shrimp farmers worldwide with blooming of several v ibriosis  and fungal  disease,  and also microsporidian disease (EHP) .  Polluted environment and  the usage of the  antibiotics and  different  chemicals  in shrimp farming practices  have resulted in more challenges for shrimp industry. High -quality postlarvaes , best farm management practices together with premium and/or functional feeds and  top-dressing health additives as well as innovative  culture system need to be addressed & developed all together to  provide more sustainable solutions and approaches for shrimp industry.

As shrimp is very primitive animal that is highly sensitive to all stress triggers. Therefore, combined solutions and approaches will be provided and discussed with focusing more on managing the water-quality parameters & vibriosis sp. in the optimal ranges to reduce shrimp stress as well as the health nutrients from different additives and novel proteins to formulate premium and/or functional feeds for enhancing stress resistant will also be discussed as well.

 MOTIV – a bioactive  corn protein concentrates produced by Cargill Inc. in North America through a proprietary fermentation process to unlock more potential from protein and to provide additional health nutrients for shrimp gut health and antistress enhancement to improve on shrimp growth, feed conversion , shrimp color and survivability will also be introduced and highlighted with  results of the research trials for shrimp feed industry as well.
