Feed Tray Management Lowers FCRs, Shrimp Production Costs In Australia

摘要

Shrimp farmers in Australia believe that applying smaller amounts of feed regularly is an effective strategy for maximizing feed conversion in ponds. Shrimp are usually fed five times daily, but Gold Coast Marine Aquaculture feeds shrimp only four times daily. By providing more time for shrimp to rest between eating cycles, consistently lower FCRs have been achieved. There is also more time for pond staff to properly deploy and check feeding trays, which reduces errors in feed management.
