“Problems that we encountered in the past, if we think it is a bad thing. It's a bad thing. If looking it in a good way, It teaches us a lot. We have fought anything. Therefore all diseases that we mentioned, we beat them all, we improve all the time.”

Our solution, we are bless in many aspects.

1. We have all institutions working together, create collaborative

solutions which the acknowledgment should be given to the

Department of Fisheries.

2. We are lucky that there are companies invest in species

development. In the last 10 years, we have been developing the

species, species and growth rate. ADG used to be 0.2. Now,

it may be 0.4.

3. We develop our own breed and it grows faster. It has a good

resistance to disease, gives us an advantage here.

4. Shrimp in other countries has limitation. They are not able to make

large size.

This should be a turning point for us to expand in Thailand.

Now we have to raise a large Size Shrimp.

Small

Large (Larger than 40 grams)

ISSUES

No Antibiotics

Antibiotics can not cure disease causes by virus, parasites, and microsporidia. Repeat in apply antibiotics to treat bacteria problem will lead to resistant to antibiotics. Nowadays we apply bio-secure culture , and probiotic farming as a good alternative to antibiotic. We nurse post larvae to shorter the culture period.

• Large Size Shrimp • Antibiotics Free Shrimp • International Food Safety Standard • Full Traceability • Environmental Friendly • Sustainability • Ethical Business Practices
