Waste and Sludge Reducer™

An advanced bio-solution to aquaculture pond management.

Specially formulated probiotics designed to:

  • Devour organic waste and sludge 

  • Boost pond health

  • Clean pond bottoms

  • Improve water quality

Waste and Sludge Reducer (WSR) is an advanced bio engineered tool to manage water quality and pond health.

Our specialized WSR formula contains five Bacillus strains that produce various vital enzymes to reduce organic material and eliminate ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and H2S in ponds. It is a highly concentrated formula of organic-waste-digesting microbes developed for use in freshwater, brackish and saltwater aquaculture.

WSR is guaranteed to have a minimum of three billion (3B) cfu/g of specific, effective bacteria on an advanced carrier that supports rapid bacterial replication. Unlike varying incubation times seen across batches, our products guarantee reliability and uniformity. 

Rapidly increase the population of beneficial and desirable microbes to improve shrimp health, survival, and growth in your aquaculture pond with WSR.

FOR EXPORT ONLY

Formulated for:

SHRIMP

FIN FISH

Easy Application

Choose between two user-friendly application options, offering effortless application — no mixing, measuring, weighing, activating, or incubating required. Whether you opt for tabs or bags, ensure consistent quality and precise concentrations of specific bacteria in every application with Keeton products.

Quick-dissolve Tablets

Available in 3 kg or 11 kg buckets. Each 3 gram tablet sinks directly to the pond bottom, targeting sludge where it accumulates and enabling precise concentration distribution within designated zones.

Water-soluble Bags

Available in 1 kg or 11 kg buckets. Each bucket is filled with 250 gram bags, dissolving in less than a minute and quickly releasing their contents near the surface for rapid and convenient dispersal.

Bags

  • WSR is available in 1 kg or 10 kg buckets. Each bucket is filled with 250 gram water-soluble bags. These bags dissolve in less than a minute, quickly releasing their contents near the surface for rapid and convenient dispersal.

  • For densities less than 60pl/M2:

    500 grams, or (2) 250 gram bags, per hectare every 5–7 days.

    For densities higher than 60pls/M2:

    If poor water quality, ammonia, or other pathogens are detected, double the dose to 1000 grams, or (4) 250 gram bags, per hectare every 5 days.

  • Keep plastic bucket tightly close to protect WSR bags from ambient humidity and rainfall. Store indoors, in a cool, dry place. Protect from freezing. Avoid inhalation and eye contact. After handing WSR, wash hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water.

    No refrigeration required. WSR bags remain viable at room temperature for over 2 years.

THE SCIENTIFIC WAY TO

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

Probiotics are a fraction of total production costs. Using probiotics will reduce the cost of labor, feed and maintenance, while increasing overall growth and survival of the animals, which increases profits. Farmers have experienced survival of up to 100% with increased growth rates between 10% and 35%.

REDUCE SHRIMP POND SLUDGE

WSR probiotics actively consume organic waste and uneaten food, preventing the accumulation of harmful substances like ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate — substances that can become toxic, cause health problems, and are difficult to remove. This waste conversion into valuable bacterial biomass improves Feed Conversion Ratios (FCR).

The biomass serves as a protein-rich food source, leading to reduced sludge, improved water quality, and increased profitability. The decrease in organic waste not only contributes to enhanced pond bottoms but also results in decreased labor costs and reduced pollution. The improved water quality further reduces the need for water exchanges, increasing biosecurity measures.
