The Benefits of Papaya Leaves for Vannamei Shrimp
Benefits of Papaya Leaves for Shrimp
1. Increases immune response
Papaya leaves contain various bioactive compounds that help boost the immune response of shrimp by activating their immune cells. This makes shrimp more resistant to infections and diseases, thus improving their survival rate (SR) throughout cultivation.
2. Has antibacterial and antioxidant properties
Alkaloids and flavonoids in papaya leaves have antimicrobial properties, protecting shrimp from bacteria, viruses, and parasites. These compounds also have antioxidant properties, protecting shrimp cells from oxidative damage due to free radicals, improving their overall health.

3. Helps with protein absorption
Papaya leaves extract also contains the enzyme papain. This enzyme is proteolytic, or speeds up the process of protein hydrolysis. In the shrimp’s digestive tract, the protein consumed through feed can be broken down and absorbed more effectively by the shrimp’s system, enhancing their growth.
4. Reduces the use of synthetic chemicals and antibiotics
As a natural ingredient, using papaya leaf extract as an immunostimulant offers a more environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic chemicals. In the long term, its use is more sustainable and contributes to the health of aquatic ecosystems.
5. Potentially improves cultivation performance
In addition to boosting the shrimp's immune system, papaya leaf extract also supports shrimp growth and feed efficiency, leading to positive impacts on overall farm productivity. These benefits significantly increase the economic profits for farmers.
Conclusion
Papaya leaves are a natural immunostimulant that benefits shrimp. The benefits of papaya leaves for vannamei shrimp include:
Increases immune response
Has antibacterial and antioxidant properties
Helps with protein absorption
Reduces the use of synthetic chemicals and antibiotics
Potentially improves cultivation performance
