Zenpet is a Tea Saponin Powder manufacturer supplying natural plant-based aquaculture ingredients for shrimp pond cleaning, fish control, and sustainable animal nutrition applications. The product is extracted from tea seeds, tested for quality, and available in customized specifications for global Feed additive manufacturers.
Tea Saponin Powder is a natural plant-derived active ingredient extracted from tea seeds (Camellia oleifera) and other Theaceae plant sources. It contains naturally occurring triterpenoid saponins with excellent surface activity, foaming properties, emulsification ability, and biological activity.
For aquaculture applications, Tea Saponin Powder is widely used as a natural pond cleaning solution to remove unwanted fish, mollusks, aquatic pests, and harmful organisms before shrimp farming cycles. It is especially valued by shrimp producers because it can selectively eliminate predatory fish while minimizing impact on target crustaceans when properly applied.
Zenpet provides bulk Tea Saponin Powder with stable quality, customizable assay levels, professional documentation, and international export services for aquaculture feed manufacturers and distributors.

Tea Saponin Powder is widely used in aquaculture pond preparation as a natural botanical piscicide and pond cleaning ingredient. It is mainly applied before shrimp stocking to eliminate unwanted fish, predatory aquatic species, mollusks, and harmful organisms. Tea saponin shows selective toxicity toward fish while being relatively safer for shrimp and many crustaceans when applied at recommended levels.
Application Purpose:
Formula Dosage:
| Ingredient | Specification | Dosage | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tea Saponin Powder | 85%-90% Saponin | 2-5 ppm | Natural fish control & pond cleaning |
| Water | Pond water | Existing pond volume | Dilution medium |
Recommended Application:
Commercial aquaculture products commonly recommend approximately 3-5 ppm tea saponin powder for pond cleaning applications.
Target Organisms
Dosage Guide
| Pond Condition | Dosage |
|---|---|
| Low salinity pond | 3-5 ppm |
| Normal shrimp pond preparation | 2-3 ppm |
| Strong predator fish presence | 5 ppm |
Research on tea seed saponin in shrimp ponds reported effective fish eradication around 1.1 ppm crude saponin, with shrimp and several crustaceans surviving at that concentration under tested conditions. Actual field dosage depends on product purity, salinity, water depth, and target species.
| Ingredient | Dosage | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Tea Saponin Powder | 1-3 ppm | Control unwanted organisms |
| Yucca Extract Powder | 100-300 g/ha | Support ammonia management |
| Bacillus Probiotic | According to strain | Maintain microbial balance |
| Seaweed Extract | 0.5-1 kg/ha | Natural nutrient support |
Some aquaculture practices use low-dose saponin applications for shrimp management.
| Application | Tea Saponin Dosage |
|---|---|
| Shrimp pond stimulation | 2-3 ppm |
| Functional pond treatment | 5-10 ppm |
Dosage should be adjusted according to shrimp species, pond condition, and local aquaculture regulations.
Conditions:
Dosage Calculation:
| Target Dosage | Tea Saponin Required |
|---|---|
| 2 ppm | 20 kg / 10,000 m³ |
| 3 ppm | 30 kg / 10,000 m³ |
| 5 ppm | 50 kg / 10,000 m³ |
Required Tea Saponin Powder (kg) = Pond Water Volume (m³) × Dosage (ppm) ÷ 1000
