ODAM is an extract from the
desert plant Yucca schidigera that binds ammonia and hydrogen
sulphide gases. It also contains enzymes, beneficial bacteria
(Bacillus subtilis) and dissolved oxygen enhancer.
Ammonia toxicity:
Ammonia accumulation (especially unionised ammonia
(NH3)) in ponds leads to deterioration of water quality
and can economic losses to farmers. An increase in ammonia
levels causes:
Toxicity at higher pH.
Stress that can lead to mortality.
Decreases in DO Level.
A collapse in planktonic population.
Higher ammonia level in body fluid and tissues results
in higher consumption of oxygen.
A collapse Drop in feed intake, reduced growth rate.
ODAM:
Mode of action Ammonia a product of nitrogenous waste directly
enters the water from shrimp, fish and other organic material
and uneaten food. The active ingredient - glycocomponent - in
ODAM binds and moderates the supply of ammonia which bacteria
incroporate into microbial protein while the enzymes and bacteria
breaks down solid water matter. The oxygen enhancer in ODAM
helps in not only improving the oxygen level but also the activity
of the aerobic bacteria. This multiplex action therefore
helps ODAM to removes ammonia levels faster and also enhance
the DO levels in fish and shrimp ponds.
BENEFITS
OF ODAM
Binds ammonia, prevents its accumulation and helps in
assimilation of ammonia into microbial protein.
Increases DO level and minimizes pH fluctuations.
Enhance aerobic bacterial growth.
Reduces the Growth of filamentous algae.
Assists in overall performances in feed intake, Fcr, growth,
survival and in yields. Dosage and Application Pond Application:
ODAM Powder - 300-500gms/ha/1m
water depth.
ODAM Liquid - 200-300ml/ha/1m
water depth.
Dissolve it in required quantity of water and boardcast
uniformly over pond surface area.
Available forms
ODAM is available in two
forms: ODAM Liquid - 50% yucca extract.
