PROBAC

A VERSATILE WATER PROBIOTIC:  compatible with tanks, ponds, raceways, and aquaculture systems. Suitable for all species of marine, brackish, and freshwater. It is ideal for all life stages, from hatchery to grow-out.

 FUNCTIONS:

• Stable Water Quality: As a microbial water conditioner, maintains clean water with the desired appearance (such as color) in tanks and ponds, ensuring it remains visually appealing and healthy for aquatic life.
• Water Quality Restoration: Improves water quality by addressing common issues such as bad odors, stickiness, and cloudiness (turbidity), ensuring the water returns to a healthy, clear state.
• Enhanced Bottom Health: It breaks down organic waste at the bottom of tanks or ponds, preventing harmful buildups of sludge or debris that could affect water quality and ecosystem balance.
• Harmful Indicator Eradication: Eliminates toxic substances such as ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, and hydrogen sulfide, which can harm aquatic life, improving overall water safety and health.
• Control of Pathogens: Promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the water, which helps suppress the growth of harmful, pathogenic bacteria that could cause disease or other issues in the aquatic environment.

BENEFITS:

• Low to no incidence of diseases and infections.
• Favorable healthy environment for aquatic life.
• Reduced stress, regulated crustacean molting.
• Good growth, higher survival, maximized profit.
• Abstinent from antibiotics, low production cost.
• Sustainable practice for green aquaculture.

USAGE & DOSAGE:

Directions: For better effect apply PROBAC in the water after activation (as described herein).

For tank water: Apply 2-4 g/m³, typically once every day.
If water quality deteriorates, increase the dose as needed.
In severe instances, a maximum dose of 10 g/m³ may be applied.
For fish and shrimp hatcheries, the recommended doses are below…

• Broodstock tank: 2 g/m³
• Shrimp larval rearing tank: 2-5 g/m³
  (Pre-stocking: 2-3 g/m³, Zoea 2-3 g/m³, Mysis 2.5-3.5 g/m³, PL 3-4 g/m³, Nursery 3-5 g/m³)
• Rosenbergii/Crab larval rearing tank: 2-5 g/m³
  (Start with 2 g/m³ in larval stage, increase the dose by 10% every other day to reach 5 g/m³ in megalopa and PL stage)
• Fish fry rearing tank: 2-4 g/m³
  (Start with 2 g/m³ in early stage, increase the dose by 10% every day to reach 4 g/m³ in later stage)

For pond water: Apply 1 kg/acre/meter, every 10-15 days.

• Emergency application: If sudden water or bottom quality deterioration is monitored, apply appropriately higher dose at once after partial water exchange where possible.
• Initial application: For new ponds after filling water (before stocking) 0.5 kg/acre/meter; and for old pond with deteriorated water quality (before stocking) increased dose to be applied like 1-2 kg/acre/meter.

Other specific usage and directions: To be determined by perspective aquaculture expert, practically based on waterbody, cultured species, stages, water quality and overall conditions.

Activation Process:

• Mixing: Mix 500 g of PROBAC with 20 liters of clean water and add 500 g of brown sugar.
• Soaking/Aeration: Soak or gently aerate the mixture for 30-60 minutes to activate.
• Preparation: Stir well to make it a slurry.
• Application: Spread the activated slurry evenly on the pond water surface.

Sieve the slurry through a suitable mesh net before applying in tank water.

PRECAUTION:

• Do not use any antibiotic, disinfectant or insecticide simultaneously.
• Pay attention to increase oxygen in the pond after application.
• If water appears turbid shortly after use, it is a normal phenomenon indicating organic matter is being decomposed.
