Schedule Visits

Visits Visit Date Remarks Status
1st Visit Date 14 Mar, 2022 A good quality feed and appropriate feeding management maximize feed efficiency, lower cost of production, and reduce environmental degradation Completed
2nd Visit Date 17 Mar, 2022 These ingredients provide the protein, amino acids and energy in the diet. Protein supplements are sourced from animal, yeast or plant proteins. Raw materials that have proven to be excellent major protein sources for shrimp diet Completed
3rd Visit Date 24 Mar, 2022 Slightly under feeding is better than over feeding. Never mix any antibiotics with the feed. It is preferable to switch off the aerators just before feeding until 2hrs after feeding, based on stocking density. Completed
4th Visit Date 31 Mar, 2022 After a period, usually just a few days after an algal bloom, algae will reach their maximum growth phase and die. This event is called an algae crash and the dead algae cause the organic load to increase and can drive the ammonia concentration. Completed
5th Visit Date 08 Apr, 2022 Providing quality feed and proper maintenance and management. Qualitative and dependable feed must be given to the shrimps to ensure faster growth. .. Completed
6th Visit Date 13 Apr, 2022 Shrimp feeds and feeding usually represent the largest operating costs (typically between 40 and 60 percent) of most semi-intensive and intensive farming operations Completed
7th Visit Date 19 Apr, 2022 necessary to have information such as: the species raised, it's feeding behaviour, feeding habits, pond size, stocking density, temperature and water quality. Completed
8th Visit Date 26 Apr, 2022 Shrimp from the enhanced ponds had a better growth rate than those from the unenhanced. Not all types of natural food were commonly consumed; the shrimp tended to consume prey that improved growth performance. Completed
9th Visit Date 30 Apr, 2022 When natural food is readily available, the demand for some formulated aquafeeds can be reduced Completed
10th Visit Date 05 May, 2022 Advantages of pelleted feeds in terms of storage, transportation and lower costs compared to natural fresh feed justified the replacement of artificial feeds instead of natural ones partially on maturation performances.  Completed

Good Practices: Improved diets with better feed efficiencies and use of ecologically-sound feeding management will lead to significant reduction of wastes from aquaculture.
Bad Practices: the F.C.R. is calculated as follows: F.C.R. = Feed given / Animal weight gain. In other words, the F.C.R. is the mathematical relationship between the input of the feed that has been fed and the weight gain of a population.
Suggestions Given:
A good quality feed and appropriate feeding management maximize feed efficiency, lower cost of production, and reduce environmental degradation

Good Practices: Feed economics is around 50 to 60% of the operating cost. Feed should be fresh and of good quality and not more than 90 days old from date of manufacture.
Bad Practices: Reduce feeding during periods of low DO, plankton crash, rain fall, molting, extremes of temperature and during disease outbreaks.
Suggestions Given:
Slightly under feeding is better than over feeding. Never mix any antibiotics with the feed. It is preferable to switch off the aerators just before feeding until 2hrs after feeding, based on stocking density.

Good Practices: Shrimp ponds receive large volumes of nutrients from feed. Most nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, are not consumed by the shrimp and end up in the sediment and water column. Between 72 and 89 percent of phosphorus inputs are wasted
Bad Practices: we recommend increasing the water-exchange rate in order to prevent the aforementioned problems from happening.
Suggestions Given:
After a period, usually just a few days after an algal bloom, algae will reach their maximum growth phase and die. This event is called an algae crash and the dead algae cause the organic load to increase and can drive the ammonia concentration.

Good Practices: In general the nutritional performance of a shrimp feed depends upon five interconnected factors (Figure 1), namely: • the nutrient content and composition of the diet being fed; • the physical properties and water stability of the diet being fed
Bad Practices: the transportation and storage of the diet prior to feeding on the farm; • the feeding method employed for feed application and usage on the farm; and • the farming system, stocking density, water management and availability of natural foods.
Suggestions Given:
Shrimp feeds and feeding usually represent the largest operating costs (typically between 40 and 60 percent) of most semi-intensive and intensive farming operations

Good Practices: when choosing foods , it is necessary to assess not only their nutritional value, digestibility and cost, but also criteria related to sustainability and environmental impacts.
Bad Practices: The nutritional quality of Aquaculture feed depends on the nature and quality of the raw materials used in its composition, the nutritional approach adopted in the formulation of the products, as well as the equipment and manufacturing methods.
Suggestions Given:
necessary to have information such as: the species raised, it's feeding behaviour, feeding habits, pond size, stocking density, temperature and water quality.

Good Practices: Natural feed : Shrimp juvenile Stomach contents included formulated feed, diatoms, filamentous algae, macroalgae, protozoans, crustaceans, detritus, polychaetes, and rotifers. 
Bad Practices: fertilizers, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and artificial substrates. Shrimp in the enhanced ponds consumed 68% natural foods and 32% formulated feed, while shrimp in unenhanced ponds consumed 42% natural foods and 58% formulated feed.
Suggestions Given:
Shrimp from the enhanced ponds had a better growth rate than those from the unenhanced. Not all types of natural food were commonly consumed; the shrimp tended to consume prey that improved growth performance.

Good Practices: Producing a sinking pellet that is water stable is the first challenge in shrimp feed production. This is achieved by full gelatinization of the available starch by fine grinding, intense conditioning, processing by pelleting and post conditioning
Bad Practices: Over formulation during feed production
Suggestions Given:
When natural food is readily available, the demand for some formulated aquafeeds can be reduced
