Saponin for Breeding Water Treatment

Aquaculture

Tea Seed Saponin is extensively used in aquaculture to eliminate unwanted fish and harmful insects in shellfish and prawn ponds. It helps shrimps cast off the shell earlier and enhances the growth of shrimps. Detoxification happens quickly in water and it is not harmful to cattle and people who may use the water. Leaves no cumulative adverse residues, and it is readily available and economical to use. Tea Seed Saponin can prevent black-gill shrimp disease, control parasites, improve ecdysis and growth. Tea Seed Saponin may be used as a pond-cleaning agent on account of hemolysis and fish poison functions. In livestock breeding, it can reduce the level of cholesterol in animals and develop low-cholesterol animal products.

Product Overview

Tea seed saponin is a Triterpenoid saponin compound extracted from Camellia Oleifera Abel seeds. It is a colorless fine columnar crystal. Typically, tea saponin is a light yellow powder that is fine, bitter, and spicy. Though it is insoluble in cold water, tea seed saponin is hygroscopic, readily soluble in warm water at a temperature of about 80 Fahrenheit, producing a brown liquid. Aquatic products generally use Tea Seed Saponin Powder (60%) or Tea Seed Saponin Liquid (30%). This product can replace sodium pentachlorophenol as a water clearing agent for killing wild fish in shrimp and crab ponds. Saponin can also be used as an agent to clean ponds without damaging shrimp.

Applications

Unwanted Fish Elimination

Tea seed saponin is more toxic to fish, even at low concentrations, with a semi-lethal dose of 3.8 mg/L. Tea seed saponin has a destructive effect on the red blood cells of animals and produces hemolysis. Tea seed saponin produces hemolysis only on red blood cells (including nucleated fish blood, chicken blood, and red blood cells such as non-nuclear human blood) but has no effect on white blood cells. Therefore, tea seed saponin has a toxic effect on fish and has no harmful impact on crustaceans like shrimp and crab.

Antibacterial Effect

It has inhibitory effect on Candida albicans and Escherichia coli; it has theraputic effect on superficial fungal infection. At the same time, it can treat sessile ciliate disease, filamentous bacterial disease, filamentous algae attachment disease, shell pipeworm disease, polyglycosis, and canopy disease.

Biological Hormones

Tea seed saponin can also promote animal growth, which is manifested in the fact that it can promote the growth of shrimp, mainly to promote its molting. In addition, water grass plays a vital role in the cultivation of shrimp. Tea seed saponin does not kill water plants, and it has a long-lasting effect on those plants. At the same time, it also has the effect of increasing fertilizer efficiency. It can be used in ponds that breed shrimps and raise young crabs, which can significantly increase the rate of output.
