HALAMID® in Shrimp Farming

HALAMID® is widely used in shrimp hatcheries to disinfect shrimp eggs and early life stages, where biosecurity is critical. During these sensitive phases, even low pathogen pressure can lead to significant losses. HALAMID® reduces bacterial and viral contamination in hatchery water without harming embryos or larvae when applied at recommended low dosages. Its fast action and non‑remanent nature make it especially suitable for repeated treatments. This helps improve hatchery hygiene while maintaining optimal conditions for shrimp development.

In shrimp ponds and culture systems, HALAMID® is applied directly to the water for both routine hygiene management and disease outbreak control. It is effective against major shrimp pathogens such as Vibrio species, White Spot Syndrome Virus, and other bacterial and viral challenges. HALAMID® can be used preventively at low concentrations to maintain water quality or at higher dosages during disease events. Its limited sensitivity to organic matter ensures reliable performance in real farming conditions. At the same time, shrimp tolerate HALAMID® well when used according to protocol.

HALAMID® plays an important role in biosecurity through the disinfection of tanks, basins, tools, equipment, footbaths, and transport vehicles used in shrimp farming. Effective surface disinfection helps prevent the spread of pathogens between production units, batches, and facilities. HALAMID® can be applied by spraying, flushing, wiping, or soaking, depending on the surface and use area. After the recommended contact time, surfaces can be rinsed where necessary. This makes HALAMID® a practical and versatile disinfectant for daily farm hygiene management.
