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.

Mix the product with a sufficient amount of clean water, mix thoroughly into the feed, coat with ATOMIC or a suitable coating product, and let dry for 20 minutes before feeding to shrimp. Routine use: 2 – 3 g/kg feed, 2 times/day. For periods requiring intestinal support: 5 – 7 g/kg feed, 4 times/day. Can be fed in combination with FLASH to enhance effectiveness. Note: Seal tightly, zip the bag immediately after use if the product is not fully consumed.
- Support to enhance nutrition.
- Supports balancing the shrimp's intestinal microbiota.
- Provide amino acids and bio-peptides.
- Supports hepatopancreatic-intestinal health stability.
- Enhance the resistance and natural immunity of shrimp.
