TETRA-C — synthetic Vitamin C for shrimp anti-stress and natural immunity

Stable Vitamin C (Stay-C) + provitamin — counters thermal, transport, and disease stress, essential during seasonal change or sudden environmental shifts.

Shrimp cannot synthesize vitamin C — it must come from feed. TETRA-C is a stable form (Stay-C) resistant to heat and light degradation, well-absorbed via gut mucosa. Essential when shrimp face thermal stress, PL transport, or seasonal change.

1. Why intensive shrimp lack vitamin C

Commercial feed contains vitamin C, but pelletizing heat and long storage degrade 30 – 60% of the original amount. Intensive shrimp under continuous stress need 2× baseline vitamin C. Deficiency → reduced collagen synthesis → weak shell, slow wound healing, weakened immunity.

2. Dosage

Mix with clean water, blend into feed, coat with ATOMIC:

  • Routine: 2 – 3 g/kg feed, 1 meal/day, full cycle.
  • Acute stress (seasonal change, heavy rain, transport): 5 g/kg, 2 meals/day, 3 – 5 days.
  • Post-disease: 5 g/kg, 1 – 2 meals/day, 7 day recovery.
  • Combine with CANFORTA (B-vitamins + amino acids) for full nutrition support.

3. Cautions & notes

  • Avoid direct sunlight — vitamin C degrades rapidly.
  • Store dry, cool ≤ 30°C, reseal after use.
  • Combine with minerals (CELL CANPHOS GOLD) for pre-moult use.
  • Boost DO ≥ 5 ppm for effective vitamin C activation.
📋 Official dosage from product label

Verbatim from the TETRA-C (500 g, 1 kg) label — synced with the product page to avoid drift.

Ingredients: Oxytetracycline: 30g; Vitamin C: 5g; Excipients q.s. 100g.
Directions & dosage:

Treatment of hepatopancreatic diseases and luminous disease caused by Vibrio spp bacteria in shrimp. The combination of Oxytetracycline with vitamin C helps support immunity and accelerates the disease treatment process. For shrimp: - Treatment of bacterial infections caused by Vibrio spp: 3-5 g/kg feed, for 5-7 days. - Mix the product with a sufficient amount of clean water, mix thoroughly into the feed, and coat with a suitable binder. Let dry for 20 minutes before feeding to shrimp. For fish: - Treatment of intestinal hemorrhage: 1 kg/300-500 kg feed. Treat continuously for 5-7 days. - Mix the medicine with feed, use an external binder. Note: - Seal the packaging tightly immediately after use if the product is not fully used.

Label benefits:
  • Inhibit bacterial protein synthesis, prevent EMS/AHPND caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus
  • Treat bacterial infection of red spot disease, gill rot, pop-eye, hemorrhage caused by Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, Edwardsiella
  • Treat Mycoplasma affecting intestinal health, enhance immunity
