The efficacy of probiotic with different storage to decrease the total organic matter, ammonia, and total Vibrio on shrimp pond water

Abstract

Organic matter, ammonia, and total Vibrio are some parameters in shrimp culture media that can influence the success of shrimp culture. This study aims to determine the effect of Pseudomonas and Bacillus probiotic storage duration on decreasing organic matter, ammonia, and Total Vibrio in shrimp pond water. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments namely without the addition of probiotics (P0, control), addition of fresh probiotics (P1), addition of probiotics with a storage period of 1 month (P2), addition of probiotics with a storage time of 2 months (P3) and addition of probiotics with a storage period of 3 months (P4). Each treatment repeated four times. The content of total organic matter and Vibrio in water measured on day 0 (initial), and third (end), ammonia content was measured every 24 hours during the study (t0-t3). The results showed that the addition of probiotics with a long storage different give in decreasing total organic matter, ammonia, and Vibrio in shrimp pond water. Addition of probiotics with a storage period of 3 months gave a Total Vibrio, organic matter, and ammonia content lower compared to the shrimp pond water without adding probiotics and gave significantly different (p <0.05).
