Description
Sri Nuryati and three co-authors wrote a 2026 study on protecting farmed shrimp from a harmful germ. Pacific white shrimp are a major farmed seafood, and the germ can kill stock fast. Farms often turn to antibiotics, but overuse of those drugs brings its own risks. The team tested leaf powder from the moringa tree as a natural option.
Shrimp ate feed with the powder for 30 days, at three dose levels, before the team exposed them to the germ. Shrimp on the powder lived at higher rates and showed stronger immune responses than the control group. The lowest dose, half a gram per kilogram of feed, worked best and also aided growth. Gene tests showed that key defense genes switched on more strongly. The results back moringa as a low-cost shield for shrimp.
