Epicin Farm

Biological Aquaculture Pond Treatment (Probiotic)

Description

EPICIN-Farm is a natural microbial ecosystem with added stabilizers and growth stimulants for detoxifying aquaculture grow-out ponds. It eliminates water-fouling waste products such as ammonia, nitrites and hydrogen sulfide, thereby lowering stress and providing a healthier environment for aquatic animal growth. It also improves animals health and disease resistance by creating a probiotic environment.

Benefits

  • Effectively and rapidly reduces from pond water dangerous levels of ammonia, nitrite and
    sulfide pollutants.
  • Establishes a strong natural bacteria culture in the pond that suppresses the growth of harmful bacteria such as Vibrio sp.
  • Increases animal survival and yields. Allow higher stocking densities.
  • Promotes animal weight gain for either faster growth cycles or heavier and more valuable animals.
  • Reduces need for water exchanges providing a more bio-secure environment.
  • Leaves behind cleaner pond soil reducing pond renovation costs and downtime.
