Benefits of Noni Fruit for Shrimp
1. Maintains SR
Noni extract has been proven to help maintain the survival rate of vannamei shrimp, especially in semi-intensive cultivation systems. The antioxidant content in noni extract helps protect shrimp by reducing the effects of oxidative stress caused by exposure to free radicals in the environment.
2. Supports shrimp growth
The administration of noni extract to vannamei shrimp can also enhance shrimp growth. This is due to the potential of noni extract to stimulate the secretion of digestive enzymes, which boosts shrimp appetite and aids in better nutrient absorption.

3. Enhances disease resistance
Another notable benefit of noni fruit for vannamei shrimp is its ability to enhance the shrimp's resistance to diseases. Shrimp consuming noni extract show higher activity of hemocyte cells. These cells are involved in the shrimp's immune response, helping protect the shrimp from pathogens and foreign particles, thus improving their resistance against diseases.
How to Apply Noni Fruit in Shrimp Ponds
You can make noni fruit extract by thoroughly washing the fruit, then mashing and straining it using sterilized equipment. The strained extract should then be dried. Once dried, the noni extract can be mixed into the feed at a dosage of 1-3 g/kg of feed, and applied during feeding.
