Texas Bio Group provides American-made Bacillus products for shrimp and fish farming. Our formulations help farmers manage pond water quality and organic waste throughout the production cycle, from pond preparation to harvest.
In shrimp and fish ponds, uneaten feed, feces and dead plankton settle and accumulate as sludge on the pond bottom. As this organic matter decomposes, it consumes dissolved oxygen and releases ammonia, nitrite and, in oxygen-poor bottom layers, hydrogen sulfide. The higher the stocking density, the faster this load builds up, and the greater the stress on the animals.
Bacillus are naturally occurring, beneficial bacteria widely used in aquaculture.
Bacillus produce enzymes (proteases, amylases and lipases) that break down proteins, starches and fats from feed residue and waste.
Bacillus-produced enzymes support the breakdown of biodegradable organic material, helping manage sludge accumulation on pond bottoms.
Selected Bacillus strains support microbial nitrogen uptake and organic waste management, helping maintain water quality in aquaculture ponds.
A strong population of beneficial bacteria competes for nutrients and space, helping maintain a stable microbial community in the pond.
Bacillus form spores, which keeps the product stable during storage and transport until it is activated in water.
Suitable for whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon), tilapia, pangasius and other farmed species, in earthen and lined ponds under intensive and semi-intensive systems.
Bacillus products work best as part of sound farm practice: adequate aeration, controlled feeding and regular monitoring of dissolved oxygen, pH and ammonia. Apply after disinfectants or chlorine treatments have cleared, since these also kill beneficial bacteria. Dosage depends on the product, pond conditions and stocking density, and is detailed in each product's usage guide.
