For the first time, this year, the Global Shrimp Forum has partnered with TipTopp Aquaculture to offer our delegates an exclusive tour of their facility.

Discover the fascinating microbial world behind sustainable shrimp farming. This visit offers a rare chance to explore the production of probiotics and understand the vital role Bacillus strains play in advancing aquaculture solutions.

Participants will be guided through the facility to learn about the production process and how these innovative products are developed and applied in the industry. The tour includes an interactive lab session featuring small experiments and tastings, designed to bring the science and benefits of probiotics to life.

The experience concludes with a well-organized group lunch, providing an excellent opportunity for networking and discussion.
