How to promote fish feed utilization ratio?

During fish husbandry, fish feed cost accounts for over 60% in the whole fish
husbandry cost. Compared with land creatures, fish owns a further special
living environment – the water environment. Water would beget the nutrition
loss of feed, adding cost. Except for furnishing high-performance fish feed
fish- feed production line and submarine feed-making machine, LIMA Fish Feed
Machinery is also committed to probing how to promote the utilization rate of
fish feed, in order to save aquaculture costs and help grope growers get
further gains.

Lima machinery has been in the fish feed pellet industry for nearly ten years,
focusing on the production of fish food extruded pellet machines. In addition,
our factory has dozens of different fish feed pellet production line solutions
for customers to choose from. After continuous communication with customers,
our feed pellet machine has received praise from customers, especially those in
Africa and South Asia. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact
us, our professional technicians are more than happy to help you.

It’s important to adapt the size of the feedstuff particles to the mouth size
of the fish to reduce feed losses and maximize feed utilization， Depending on
the size of the fish, preparation may involve different processes. Remember
that feed particle shouldn’t be finer than necessary, because with fine
particles nutrients are more easily dissolved into the water;

Adding the frequency of supplementary feeding during the day
Reducing food wastage;
Reducing dissolved oxygen consumption and perfecting water quality;
Reducing nutrient losses attributable to filtering, thereby perfecting food
quality;
Perfecting uniformity of fish sizes, giving further possibility for the less
aggressive fish to feed;
Perfecting fish growth and feed utilization.
Tips for fish feeding
The smaller the fish, the more constantly they should be fed.
Dry feeds need to be distributed more frequently than moist feeds.
In any one feeding, no further than 3 percent of the total fish weight should
be distributed.
The feeding frequency should be reduced as the water temperature cools down, or
if it exceeds optimum situations.
The feeding frequency should be acclimated to the fish species. Tilapias do
much better with small but frequent meals. On the contrary, trout larger than
50 g do well on one meal a day.
The feeding cost should be checked to make sure it isn’t inordinate compared
to the yields attained.
You should regularly check on the feed application to adjust feeding duly.
Before feeding, check it there’s any feed left over from the former meal.
During feeding, observe your fish precisely to see how actively they eat. A
good appetite is a sign of good health and good water quality.
Every 15 to 30 days, check on the new fish biomass present in the pond and
adjust the diurnal feeding portion consequently. Check on feed application
during the last 15- to 30- day period by calculating the food conversion rate
for this period
At the end of the product cycle, check on feed application by calculating the
food conversion rate for this particular cycle. Base your computation on
accurate records

Common for all fish growers is that maximizing fish growth is pivotal for the
economy. Each fish farmer has different options for optimization, but there
will always be places in the operation that can be optimized. One just needs to
take notice and be ready to make the necessary changes.
