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.
As supplied, EPICIN is a dry, granular product with microbes in a dormant state. Activate the EPICIN bacteria by hydrating in fresh water or clean pond water for 30 minutes. Broadcast hydrated mixture evenly over pond surface. The following treatment rates are suggested as starting points:
Stocking Density (PL/m2 | 30-50 | 50 | Periodicity |
Days of Culture | EPICIN-Farm | Dosage (gm/ha) | Every |
10-40 | 250 | 500 | 10 days |
41-60 | 700 | 750 | 10 days |
61-90 | 750 | 1000 | 7 days |
91-120 | 1000 | 1250 | 7 days |
120 | 1250 | 1500 | 5 days |
If the unionized ammonia level rises above 0.2 ppm, immediately apply a 1-kg/ha EPICIN treatment. For a heavy Vibrio sp. infestation, add twice the normal dose of EPICIN when infestation is first noticed and again each day for three days in row.
