Desempenho zootécnico do camarão branco (Litopenaeus vannamei) com a utilização de medicamentos homeopáticos

Abstract

The cultivation of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) has intensified over the years, new technologies and strategies have been tested in order to respond to the growing demand imposed by the animal protein consumer market. Traditional crops with large areas of cultivation and a high rate of renewal have been losing ground due to the new technologies that are emerging and due to problems associated with pathologies in cultivation. It is known that there is currently a gap in the discussion of treatments used to control shrimp pathologies, which are related to disease outbreaks in crops. With this as a premise shrimp farming has been reinventing itself and seeking new technologies that will allow growth in production, together with a good socio-environmental performance. In this context, in view of the concern regarding the preservation of the environment, there is a need to use technologies that aim to maintain productivity and that generate less impact on the environment. herefore, this research aimed to test the zootechnical performance of white shrimp with the use of homeopathic medicines added to the diet, lasting 30 days, from March to April 2020, with 4 treatments and 3 repetitions, being one control and the other 3 with doses of homeopathic medicines added to the feed. 1.5 g / kg, 1 g / kg and 2 g / kg respectively, where the data were subjected to statistical analysis (ANAVA) comparing the averages between treatments. After initial statistical analysis, the data were submitted to the Tuckey test with 5% (p> 0.05) of significance. Finding no significant difference between the means of the treatment variables. Therefore, the use of homeopathic medicines has not been proven effective for use in the cultivation of shrimp, however the research opened a series of precedents to be able to investigate other possible tests with homeopathic medicines, which can be tested in water or in other concentrations of those tested in the present research.
