The Challenge: Gut Health in Intensive Aquaculture

In intensive shrimp and fish farming, the gastrointestinal tract is the primary site of pathogen entry and nutrient absorption. Stress, high stocking densities, and variable water quality often lead to dysbiosis, reduced villi height, and increased susceptibility to diseases like AHPND (Early Mortality Syndrome).

Critical Pain Points:

  • Poor Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)
  • Unstable Intestinal Microbiota
  • High Mortality during Pathogen Challenges

The SILSEP Molecular Approach

We go beyond standard additives. Our AquaScience™ platform utilizes molecular silica matrices to ensure active ingredients reach their target site in the gut.

Targeted Delivery

Molecular silica pores protect organic acids from being neutralized in the stomach, releasing them in the mid and hindgut where pathogens thrive.

Villi Optimization

Evidence-based stimulation of intestinal villi development, increasing the surface area for maximum nutrient absorption and improved FCR.

Microbiota Balance

Selective antimicrobial action against Gram-negative bacteria (Vibrio, E.coli) while promoting beneficial lactic acid-producing populations.

Scientific Validation

Validated performance from our Mekong Delta and global trials.

Technical Q&A

How does Silsep improve FCR in shrimp farming?

Silsep improves FCR by utilizing molecular silica matrices for targeted delivery of organic acids and antimicrobial agents. Trial #22 in the Mekong Delta demonstrated an FCR of 1.45 compared to 1.62 in the control group, a 0.17 reduction.

Can molecular silica reduce mortality in aquatic species?

Yes, Silsep Trial #05 showed a 40% reduction in mortality rates during high-stress production cycles by strengthening the intestinal barrier and optimizing microbiota balance.

What is the surface area of Silsep molecular silica?

Silsep Synthetic Amorphous Silica (SAS) offers a high surface area of up to 500 m²/g and a loading capacity exceeding 300%, ensuring high-efficiency carrier properties for active ingredients.
