CLEVER white feces prevention & treatment protocol — 4-step standard for intensive ponds

Comprehensive guide for controlling White Feces Syndrome (WFS) with CLEVER + support products — prevent from day 15, treat acute cases, recover gut afterward.

White Feces Syndrome (WFS) usually has no single cause — Vibrio + EHP + algal toxins jointly damage the gut mucosa. This is Than Vuong's standard protocol: prevent from day 15, treat when sick, restore gut after the acute phase.

1. Understanding white feces — not just Vibrio

When WFS appears on day 30 – 50, the cause is usually three combined pressures: Vibrio bloom, EHP parasitism in the hepatopancreas, and algal toxins (especially blue-green and red algae). Antibiotics alone cannot handle EHP or algal toxins — the protocol must suppress Vibrio + reduce EHP load + treat the water environment.

2. Prevention protocol (from day 15)

Prevention beats treatment — Than Vuong's standard schedule:

  • Feed: CLEVER 2 – 3 g/kg + FLASH 3 g/kg, 2 meals/day, throughout the cycle.
  • Water treatment: SOILMAX or MAX 4000 every 3 – 5 days.
  • Track green Vibrio on TCBS weekly — alert at > 10² CFU/mL.
  • Measure NH₃/NO₂ weekly — keep NO₂ < 1 ppm.

3. Treatment protocol when WFS appears

Six rapid-response steps within 7 days:

  • Day 1 – 2: broadcast VIBRIO CLEAR to disinfect water, cut feed by 50%.
  • Day 3 – 7: feed CLEVER 5 – 7 g/kg + FLASH 5 g/kg, 4 meals/day.
  • Day 4: reseed water probiotics with SOILMAX / MAX 4000.
  • Day 5 – 7: add HEPA PRO or HERB GUARD 5 ml/kg for liver recovery.
  • After day 7: switch to PRO SUR 5 g/kg to rebuild gut mucosa, resume normal feed.
  • Monitor faeces: full gut and long faecal strands → recovery confirmed.
