Shrimp cannot produce the cholesterol that is the precursor
of ecdysis hormone owing to lack of squalene oxidocyclase
So, cholesterol must be supplied through the shrimp feed
Cholesterol is changed to ecdysis hormone through multi-
process in associated with enzymes
But, this multi-process are inhibited by many kinds of stress
In conclusion, direct supply of phyto-ecdysone is better than
supply of cholesterol
Increase the growth rate by direct supply
of
Phyto-ecdysis hormone
