With the booming development of aquaculture, the prevention and control of aquatic animal diseases has become the focus of farmers. Povidone Iodine(also called PVP-I or PVP-Iodine), as an efficient and safe disinfectant, plays an important role in this field. The following is a detailed explanation of the key value of PVP-I in aquaculture.

PVP-I is a broad-spectrum, efficient and low-toxic disinfectant, which has an irreplaceable position in the field of aquaculture. It can quickly destroy the cell walls and cell membranes of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, denature their proteins, and thus achieve the purpose of quickly killing pathogens. In the actual breeding process, the water environment in the pond is complex, and various harmful microorganisms breed, which can easily cause aquatic animal diseases. PVP-I can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of these harmful microorganisms and create a healthy living environment for aquatic animals. Whether it is to prevent gill rot and red skin disease in fish, or white spot syndrome and red body disease in shrimps and crabs, PVP-I can play a significant role. Farmers can use PVP-I in a scientific way, reasonably dilute it, and then sprinkle it in the breeding water to fully disinfect the water and reduce the probability of disease.

The advantages of PVP-I in aquaculture are not only reflected in its powerful sterilization and disinfection capabilities, but also in its high safety and environmental friendliness. Compared with traditional chlorine-containing disinfectants, PVP-I does not produce a large number of harmful byproducts during use, does not cause secondary pollution to the aquaculture water, and does not have adverse effects on the health of aquatic animals. Even in the late stage of aquaculture, when there are more algae and plankton in the water, PVP-I can still stably play a disinfection role and will not destroy the ecological balance of the water body. In addition, the use of PVP-I is simple and convenient, and both small-scale farmers and large-scale breeding companies can easily master the use skills. At the same time, it can also be used in conjunction with a variety of aquaculture drugs to enhance the efficacy and improve the effect of disease prevention and control.

PVP-I has become an ideal disinfectant in the field of aquaculture due to its high efficiency, safety, and environmental protection. Today, as the aquaculture industry continues to pursue green and sustainable development, PVP-I will continue to escort the healthy development of the aquaculture industry, help farmers achieve increased production and income, and make greater contributions to ensuring the quality and safety of aquatic products and promoting the prosperity of the aquaculture industry.
