Shrimp feeding table is very important in breeding industry. Because most of the expenses are spent in this field and the profitability of a group is highly dependent on this category. In this article, the feeding table of farmed shrimp is mentioned and at the end, a special proposal for your special food ration is provided.

The feeding habits of crustaceans of commercial importance in aquaculture have very little variation. These organisms are opportunistic in feeding according to the relative abundance of food organisms. A group of panaeid shrimps are typically carnivorous and feed on small animal organisms, while freshwater shrimps and crabs are often omnivorous and feed on a variety of plant and animal foods.

Feeding recommendations are based on kilograms of food for 100 kilograms of shrimp per day.
The above numbers are suggested and the amount of feeding has slight differences according to the breeding conditions and production strategy of the farm. (At the end of this article, suggestions are provided to achieve the exact amount of feeding with the highest growth rate)
Inappropriate feeding
In very high-density fish and shrimp culture systems, such as cage, channel, and pond culture, with recirculation systems, the cultured aquatic animals are almost entirely dependent on artificial feed and consume little natural food. because Basically, their amounts are not enough to survive in very dense environments. In this way, in breeding systems with high density, inappropriate nutrition leads to disproportionate growth and nutritional diseases, and on the other hand, due to the existence of inappropriate conditions, the possibility of contracting diseases also increases.
Shrimp feeding management
In order to provide all the required nutritional compounds in the necessary amount, it is necessary to use balanced amounts of them to achieve proper growth. . The determining factors in the effective use of food are, firstly, the food given to the shrimp should be consumed completely and in the maximum possible amount. And secondly, the consumed food should contain the necessary nutrients to meet the existing metabolic needs and promote growth. Unconsumed food causes water pollution.

Daily observation of the food intake through the control of the shrimp food trays is very important, in order to decide on the future consumption amount. Factors affecting the food consumption include: low water quality, low oxygen levels, high temperature, high ammonia levels, high levels of toxic metabolites of nitrite and hydrogen sulfide, the presence of food particles with larger or smaller diameters and aquatic diseases
vannamei shrimp feed formulation:
The amount of food consumed: 100/number of fish x average weight x feeding rate (percentage of biomass)
How to achieve maximum growth?
In a breeding system, in order to achieve maximum growth and the best food efficiency from a specific diet, factors such as the methods used in feeding, the amount of feeding (enzyme amounts and ration volume), feeding sequence and feeding methods are very important. The amount of food consumed should be calculated according to the biomass of fish and shrimp, and observations related to the amount of daily food consumed.
