Aquatic animals
perform all their bodily functions in water hence to a great
extent the quality of water determines the success or failure of
aquaculture operations. Ammonia reaches the pond water as a
by-product of metabolism by animals and by decomposition of
organic mater by bacteria. The toxicity of ammonia nitrogen is
attributed mainly to unionized form. As the concentration in
water increases ammonia excretion by aquatic organism diminishes
and levels of ammonia in blood other tissues increases. The
result is an elevation in blood pH and adverse effects on enzyme
catalyzed reactions and membrane stability. Ammonia increases
oxygen consumption by tissues, damages gills and reduces the
ability of blood to transport oxygen. Disease susceptibility
also increases in organisms exposed to sub-lethal concentration
of ammonia. The focus of aquaculture operations has shifted more
towards semi-intensive types and hence it has become imperative
to effectively counteract the problems of ammonia and maintain
water quality for successful operations.
COMPOSITION :
Concentrated
processed extract of Yucca 30%, urease inhibitors, verxite
grannules. The main component of ODOBAN-A30 is the
steroidal saponin from Yucca schidigera which help to reduce
ammonia levels and other noxious compounds such as hydrogen
sulphide . Microbial urease production is limited which leads to
an increase in DO and reduction of BOD and COD levels.
MODE OF ACTION :
This all
natural extract product has the inherent ability to absorb
ammonia and also inhibit the urease enzyme which is essential in
converting urea to ammonia. This steroidal saponin compound also
contains surfactants to allow for better nutrient utilization by
the bacteria that digest the waste material in pond bottoms.
ODOBAN-A30 research has consistently reported reductions in
the levels of nitrogenous compounds such as ammonia. It has this
effect in the digestive tract of the shrimp as well as in the
pond. The reduction in intestinal ammonia slows down tissue
turnover in the gut and allows for better nutrient utilization
by the shrimp.
ADVANTAGES :
FBinds
ammonia and other noxious gases
FReduces
BOD and COD
FOptimizes

DOSAGE :
Use 500 grams
per hectare of 1 meter column or consult your Aquaculture
Specialist for specific usage. It can be mixed with zeolyte and
broadcast directly over the pond. |
