Shrimp
Shrimp are well known for being a great source of vitamins that are essential for healthy bones, teeth and skin. Consumption of shrimp can also help prevent heart arrhythmia, circulatory diseases, control high blood pressure, protect from cancer, help in lessening the cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease, reduce depression and stress and improve mood swings.
Due to their excellent nutritional value for human consumption, shrimp production has expanded worldwide over the past decade. After overcoming disease problems in 1999 in Asia and in our country, shrimp production has peaked in the recent years, thus creating a boom in global production. Since the shrimp production market has emerged as a very competitive market, it is of utmost importance for aquaculture producers to take good care of their investment.
Additionally, the cost of shrimp feed constitute a major part of the production cost and accounts for 50% to 70% of the total variable cost. Proper feed management will improve shrimp production and increase profits. The availability of nutrients from feed will depend on the type and quality of the raw material used, formulation, feed processing, feed storage conditions and feeding management.
Therefore, feed and feeding practices of shrimp farming require a basic understanding of nutrition and feed requirements. The use of good quality feed will improve shrimp production and profits, and minimize the environmental pollution from shrimp farming. Since many factors are involved in shrimp farming consumption, careful and frequent observation of shrimp is the most reliable approach for determining the optimal feeding amount.
There are other major key factors for successful intensive shrimp culture. As mentioned before, use of good quality feed with better feeding management by low Feed Conversion Ratios and improved farm management are the most important goals to farmers, not only for gaining greater profit, but also for minimizing the pollution of shrimp farming area.
