Recommended conditioning and Broodstock Assurance
Balance Pro is designed for hatcheries and farms that demand consistency and higher productivity. Our broodstock is Specific Pathogen Free (SPF), certified for all major shrimp pathogens listed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), including EHP and EMS. This SPF status ensures a strong foundation for hatchery performance and farm success.
To achieve optimal reproductive performance, we recommend a focused conditioning program before maturation:
- Two - Three weeks of conditioning on high-nutrition feed prior to maturation
- Use of SPF-certified feeds to reduce pathogen risk
- Balanced feeding mix:
- Squid: 5-8% per day
- Polychaetes: 20-25% per day
- Other mollusks (clams, oysters): 2-4% per day
- Commercial maturation diets: as needed
Feeds should be alternated daily and distributed evenly across tanks to maintain animal health and maximize nauplii production.
At Hendrix Genetics, we are committed to helping farmers thrive in an unpredictable world. Balance Pro reflects this commitment—combining robust genetics, consistent performance, and adaptability for well-managed, biosecure environments. Because in a business full of uncertainties, your shrimp shouldn’t be one of them.
