Background and Objective: Adaptogens are plant substance that is known to enhance the productivity of animals mainly through their stress mitigating effects and hence the present study was undertaken with the main purpose to evaluate the effect of phytogenic feed additive (PHFA) on growth performance parameters in Litopenaeus vannamei under field conditions. Materials and Methods: The experimental shrimp for this study were post-larvae 10 (PL 10) and 112,000 shrimps were reared in two ponds (9.6×40×1.2 m). One pond served as the control group and was fed with a basal diet, the other pond was considered as a PHFA group fed with a basal diet plus PhytoceeTM (2 kg/ton). The water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, total ammonia nitrogen and nitrites were measured every day. Salinity was measured every 3 days. Litopenaeus vannamei shrimps were fed with respective diets for 104 days. Results: The total body weight (kg), FCR and survival rate (%) exhibited by control and PHFA groups were 1,108 & 1,145, 1.173 & 1.135 and 91.01 & 94.05, respectively. Results revealed that body weight (kg), FCR and survival rate (%) of L. vannamei were improved following the addition of PHFA at 2 kg/ton as compared to the control group. This could be due to the impact of individual ingredients which was already known to have adaptogenic, antioxidant and immunity-booster property. Conclusion: In conclusion, the addition of PHFA at the dose level of 2 kg/ton of feed could be recommended for the augmentation of the growth performance parameters of L. vannamei.
