TipTopp Success Story – TEPBAC, Vietnam
About
the farmer
As Co-founder of TEPBAC, Dr. Lam Nguyen oversees operations at a grow-out farm in Vietnam, focusing on Whiteleg shrimp production. In such a competitive aquaculture environment, maintaining both shrimp health and pond hygiene is vital for consistent and profitable farming.

The Challenge
Before using TipTopp Gut, the farm faced challenges in two critical areas:
- Gut health instability in shrimp, leading to concerns about Vibrio outbreaks.
- Biofilm buildup on pond liners, which compromised water quality and required more maintenance.
These issues not only increased risks for the shrimp but also added pressure to the farm’s operational routines.
The Turning Point with TipTopp Gut
Within just two weeks of using TipTopp Gut, clear improvements became evident:
- Shrimp gut health was noticeably healthier and more stable
- Tests confirmed a reduction and stabilization of Vibrio bacteria in the shrimp gut
- Ponds treated with TipTopp Gut showed much cleaner liners, free from the biofilm that was common in untreated ponds.
This combination of visible improvements and verified test results gave Dr. Nguyen confidence in the product’s effectiveness.
Reliable and Easy to Use
Dr. Nguyen values TipTopp Gut for its straightforward application:
“The product is efficient, easy to use, and does exactly what it promises.”
This simplicity allows the farm team to integrate TipTopp Gut seamlessly into their routine, while still seeing strong, reliable outcomes.
Recommendation to Farmers
Dr. Nguyen recommends TipTopp Gut to other farmers because of its efficiency, but also adds an important note on product positioning:
“Yes, I recommend TipTopp because of the efficiency of the product. However, the market position of the product is premium, so the packaging design and after-sales service should be on the same level as products from Bayer or Elanco.”

Thanks to TipTopp Gut, TEPBAC’s grow-out farm has been able to strengthen shrimp gut health, control Vibrio more effectively, and maintain cleaner ponds—all within just two weeks of use.
