Trang 3Basic Nutritional Requirements
Protein levels are species and rearing environment dependent
Similar Vitamin and Mineral Requirements
Trang 4Beta 1,3 1,6 glucans
Structure very important for activity
Continuous feeding unwise practice
Non-specific immunity
– Short term
– Weakened by stress and high levels of pathogens

Post larval P vannamei
Fed for several weeks prior to exposure to WSSV bacterial suspension
Mortalities followed for 7-10 days and tabulated

Trang 15Itami et al Late 1980’s Kuruma prawns
8 to 11 adults (20 grams each)
1% suspension of dead bacterial material
1-immersion for one hour
2-Sprayed for 10 secs
3-Injected
30 days later injected with virulent strain of vibrio
Trang 16Comparative survival of kuruma prawns exposed to virulent
vibrio species 30 days post exposure to a dead vibrio suspension (after Itami et al.)

Trang 23Substantial Protective benefit
Determined to be due to the sulfate group Used a 70% pure product-$1300/kg
Trang 25Wide variety of compounds being examined with possible beneficial effects including
Levamisole, mushroom extracts such as
VitaStim, lactoferrins, various herbal extracts, MOS, etc
Most IMPORTANT
HUSBANDRY, SPF animals to start with,
Good water quality management
Trang 26Combination of approaches might be the best
Important that animals have optimal nutrition,
minimal stress and good pathogen control
