TPD (Translucent Post-larva disease) has been spreading terror to the Vietnamese shrimp industry by causing high mortality rates in shrimp and spreading rapidly. However, there is currently no effective treatment for TPD in shrimp. But that does not mean there are no preventive measures. Let’s learn about TPD prevention measures in shrimp with GrowMax. TPD mainly affects shrimp from 2 to 15 days old, and is believed to be caused by the bacteria Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Symptoms of TPD often include shrimp being opaque, not eating, and dying in a short time. TPD can spread rapidly in shrimp farming if not controlled. With these factors, to prevent TPD in shrimp, we need to prevent the following factors:
Shrimp larvae
Water environment
Food
Raising process
1. Shrimp larvae
TPD pathogens are currently detected mainly in shrimp larvae. Healthy shrimp larvae, free of pathogens, will have good disease resistance and a higher survival rate. Therefore, when buying shrimp larvae, it is necessary to choose reputable establishments with clear shrimp larvae origins and negative TPD test certificates before going to the pond.
2. Managing the farming process
TPD in shrimp is currently complicated, farmers need to strictly control the overall farming process, closely and continuously. First is the management of the shrimp farming environment. A clean and safe farming environment will help minimize the risk of disease. This includes controlling water quality, temperature, pH, and feeding.
It is necessary to strictly manage the water treatment process through the system of nursery ponds, settling ponds, ready ponds, rearing ponds, regularly check water quality, treat wastewater, etc.
Use biological products: Biological products have the effect of enhancing the resistance of shrimp, helping shrimp to resist diseases better.
In case of shrimp disease, the use of drugs and antibiotics must be noted to use the correct dosage and time according to the instructions of doctors and experts.
3. Feed
Feed is the main factor causing changes to the water environment in the pond and affecting the growth and development of shrimp.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose good quality feed, ensuring comprehensive nutrition for shrimp. If the feed has additional ingredients to support the prevention and treatment of TPD, it is even better.
Such as the special functional feed that supports the prevention of TPD in shrimp Specific TPD of GrowMax Group.
– Specific TPD is a functional food product that has been painstakingly researched and developed by the GrowMax nutrition experts based on a special formula.
– Specific TPD is supplemented with specialized additives that promote the immune system of farmed shrimp, enhancing the resistance of farmed shrimp to TPD pathogens.
– Specific TPD is supplemented with a special group of biological active ingredients that help promote the completion of the digestive system of small shrimp, supporting the absorption and metabolism of food in the most effective way.
– Specific TPD helps provide all the essential nutrients for farmed shrimp to grow quickly and have strong resistance.

Prevention of TPD in shrimp is more important than treatment. Once TPD has broken out, treatment is often difficult and expensive, and the risk of recurrence cannot be completely eliminated, causing confusion and great losses for shrimp farmers. Therefore, preventing TPD from the beginning helps prevent the spread of the disease, minimize economic losses and protect the environment.
Conclusion
Prevention of TPD is extremely important to protect economic resources and the environment. We need to understand TPD clearly and apply effective preventive measures. Remember, “Prevention is better than cure”.
