ANTILIV
Prevents and treats hepatopancreas disease such as atrophy, swelling, necrosis and early mortality
View detailsShrimp white feces disease, hepatopancreas and gut problems: treatment and prevention
White feces, an atrophied or swollen hepatopancreas and a discontinuous gut are the group of diseases causing the greatest losses in whiteleg shrimp ponds from 10 to 70 days of culture. White feces is a multifactorial syndrome (Vibrio bacteria, gregarines, the microsporidian EHP, toxic algae), so effective management combines three approaches: cleaning up the pond environment, controlling the causative agents and restoring the hepatopancreas and gut. EHP has no in-pond cure and must be prevented with PCR-negative postlarvae and thorough pond preparation.
Typical signs
- White feces floating on the pond surface, white feces on the feeding trays
- Pale, atrophied or swollen hepatopancreas
- Discontinuous gut, empty gut, shrimp eating less
- Early mortality 10–35 days after stocking
Treatment steps
Check DO, pH and toxic gases; cut feed by 30–50% and skim off white feces every day
Treat the bottom with probiotics and reduce bacterial density in the water
Deworm the gut if microscopy shows gregarines
Mix products supporting white feces treatment and liver support into the feed as per label
Restore the gut with probiotics after the treatment course

Frequently asked questions
Which product treats white feces disease in shrimp effectively?
No single product works for every pond. If the cause is parasites, the shrimp need deworming; if it is bacterial, they need a product supporting treatment of intestinal bacterial infection (antibiotics only on a veterinary diagnosis, using permitted compounds and observing withdrawal periods); if it is EHP, there is no specific treatment, only environmental and feed management. Always combine this with liver support and bottom treatment. Contact a Noben technician for advice matched to the actual cause.
How long does it take for shrimp to recover from white feces?
With early detection and correct treatment, shrimp usually resume feeding after 3–5 days, and feces return to normal after about 7 days.
