A bioassay trial was conducted to determine the efficacy of developed feed as an anti-AHPND candidate. The treatment was fed on anti-AHPND feed whereas control fed on the regular feed throughout the experiment. The shrimp of both treatment and control were challenged by per os method on day 8. The cumulative AHPND-gross sign appearance in positive control reached up to 95% at dpi 8 whereas no gross sign appeared in treatment and in negative control. The cumulative mortality reached up to 90% at dpi 8 in positive control whereas no mortality recorded in treatment and negative control. The Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from the hepatopancreas of infected shrimp were matched 100% with the existing AHPND strain. The trial results show that the developed anti-AHPND feed has significant effect against AHPND pathogen in a controlled condition.
