Zusammenfassung:White feces syndrome (WFS) causes severe economic damages in Litopenaeus vannamei culture by the microsporidian parasite, Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP), and it affects mainly hepatopancreas leading to digestive and absorptive problems, and finally the shrimp have poor growth and immune suppression. By improving the health status of hepatopancreas and digestive systems, the disease may be reduced or controlled by alternative approaches especially treating with herbal active principles. The herbal active characteristics like hepatoprotective activity, antioxidants, appetizers, and digestive and growth promoters highly reduce or control the EHP problems due to the broad diversity of active compounds in herbal products. In the present review, we discussed the use, formulation, and method of application of the herbal extracts like Citrus limon , Allium sativum , Zingiber officinale , Borassus flabellifer , and Vigna mungo in Indian L. vannamei culture systems by the farmers against white feces syndrome.
