Rapid developments of fish farms in Indonesia News / By Lima / Leave a Comment Indonesia is an archipelago consisting of 17,000 islands, with a coastline of about 81,000 km. Coupled with a warm tropical climate all year round, the potential for aquaculture is vast. Even as the country only utilizes 7.38% of its total potential area for aquaculture, it already ranks among the most productive countries in aquaculture production. Table Of Contents Rapid developments of fish farms in Indonesia Introduction of the fish farming industry in Indonesia Challenges need to be solved in aquaculture farming Rapid developments of fish farms in Indonesia The main growth driver for Indonesia’s fisheries is the fact that key commodities such as fish and shrimp continue to enjoy strong demand domestically and abroad respectively. The main domestic factor is the fact that the archipelago nation of more than 250 million people is a major consumer of fish. Fish consumption per capita was estimated at 33.76 kg/year in 2014. Thanks to the wide coastline and warm tropical climate, Indonesia has become one of the top 4 nations in fishery production. With the growth of capture fisheries stagnating, further growth has to increasingly depend on the nation’s aquaculture fisheries, which comprise mainly shrimp, fish, and seaweed. Introduction of the fish farming industry in Indonesia The main growth driver for Indonesia’s fisheries is the fact that key commodities such as fish and shrimp continue to enjoy strong demand domestically and abroad respectively. The main domestic factor is the fact that the archipelago nation of more than 250 million people is a major consumer of fish. Fish consumption per capita was estimated at 33.76 kg/year in 2014. Thanks to the wide coastline and warm tropical climate, Indonesia has become one of the top 4 nations in fishery production. Indonesia is the largest economy in South East Asia with a relatively young, fast-growing, and increasingly urban population of over 260 million people. The country has tremendous potential to be a leading global seafood player and the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries has the ambition to increase sustainable aquaculture production and reduce prices to make fish affordable for a larger part of the Indonesian population. Fish farming Fish farming in Indonesia Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing sectors globally. Indonesia is among the top three largest aquaculture producers all across the world. As per the reports available, the country earned approximately USD 4.24 billion by exporting fish and fishery products to other nations in 2014. Aquaculture has been growing leaps and bounds, and national production targets are increasing every year. Today, innovative practices are inevitable to achieve rapid expansion of aquaculture and meet the growing demand. According to the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization, the most essential aquaculture species include Seaweed, Nile Tilapia and Shrimp. The Indonesian government has played a vital role in the expansion of the aquaculture sector by drafting strong policies that support the sector. Different areas where the national government has contributed massively include infrastructure, entrepreneurship, technology, environmental issues and production systems. Tilapia species and its production remain the key area of focus for the government. Challenges need to be solved in aquaculture farming Although the aquaculture sector is growing in Indonesia, there are several challenges that need to be resolved as well. The traditional form of capture fisheries still follows fishing methods that are unsustainable in the long run. Additionally, poor management has been causing various problems like water pollution and expenses. Another issue that needs a solution is overfishing which can be detrimental to the environment. Fish farming Fish farming in Indonesia In aquaculture, one of the major concerns for fish farmers in Indonesia is the high cost of feed. Also, the cost incurred due to infrastructure requirements is not proportional to profits most of the times. Another common problem that plagues aquaculture systems are diseases that reduce quality and productivity of the output. Land use and water exchange are other issues that need urgent solutions.

What are the qualities of a good fish feed? News / By Lima / Leave a Comment When opting for feed, fish growers should pay attention to three crucial characteristics structure, size and stability. Visually, the structure of the pellet should be firm and robust. A strong pellet must repel the manufacturing and transportation process, minimizing the quantum of dust produced. Dust is extremely dangerous to grope, as it can damage their gills and affect the water quality. The size, ratio and sink/ float speed of the feed must also be suitable for different species and surroundings; Pellets must also have high water stability, as uneaten feed can pollute the water and leach nutrients. Following best practices, uneaten pellets must be removed instantly in order to avoid sub-optimal feeding practices, negative environmental impacts, and a decreased feed conversion rate. Table Of Contents The physical attributes of a good feed The physical quality of fish feed The nutritive quality of fish feed Recovery of essential amino acids and specific vitamins. Digestibility The physical attributes of a good feed The constituents used in the feed should be finely ground. The pellets will have an even color. The feed must be without fines or dust. However, too much will be wasted in the form of a powder that floats on the water face, If too numerous fines are in the feed. The pellet should be firm with water stability of at least 30 minutes. The pellet’s water stability refers to the time it takes for the pellet to fully fall piecemeal into water. Proper cuisine assures that the starches have Gelatinized and this helps hold the pellet together. Floating fish feed pelleting machine Floating fish feed pelleting machine Get Price Now! WhatsApp Me Now! The pellets should be of the invariant size and of the correct size so the fish can swallow them. A size of about ¼ the gape of the mouth is advised. The feed should be palatable to the fish with a good taste, smell, and feel. Fish will spear out or only sluggishly consume feed that isn’t palatable. The physical quality of fish feed Floating fish feed pellet Floating fish feed pellet Density Quality food doesn’t contain numerous fine particles. The volume of these particles must be measured in each batch of bought food. After screening the food, the residue( dust) must be counted and mustn’t exceed 1% of the total weight of the tried bag. Shape and size Uniformity Durability Water stability It’s important that the food has good stability in the water, so that it’s visible to grope, this flotation or stability depends on the content of fat in the food and its processing at extrusion. The nutritive quality of fish feed Recovery of essential amino acids and specific vitamins. It’s important to know each species you have with your breeder because each fish has nutritive requirements and behavior during feeding. It’s necessary to have information similar to the species of fish raised, its feeding behaviour, feeding habits, pond size, grazing viscosity, temperature, and water quality. High quality catfish feed pellet High quality catfish feed pellet Digestibility Another important fact, which has not earned the attention of aquatic feed manufacturers, is related to nutrient digestibility. The better the Digestibility of the feed factors, the more effective the feed is and the more fish are released, which will contribute to the respect of the aquatic environment Lima machinery has been in the fish feed pellet industry for nearly ten years, focusing on the production of fish food extruded pellet machines.

How to produce fish feed pellets in Nigeria? News / By Lima / Feed Formula, Feed pellet solutions, Fish feed, Floating fish feed pellet / Leave a Comment Just like other animals, fish requires a feed formula that contains protein, carbohydrates, lipids, minerals, and vitamins for healthy growth. Fish requires mostly protein in their feed. Lima feed machinery has been working in the feed farming industry for more than ten years, as the professional manufacturer and exporter of feed equipment. We specialize in the production of fish feed extruders, poultry feed pellet machines, and corresponding production lines. If you have any questions about the feed pellet industry, please feel free to contact us. Table Of Contents The major ingredients used for fish feed production include Feed Formulation Procedure Guides on How to Produce Fish Feed in Nigeria The major ingredients used for fish feed production include Carbohydrates substance from grain Rice Bran: The bran layer and germ of the rice are rich in fat, and are good for fish food. Fish Meal: It is produced by cooking fish, rolling and pressing to remove water and oil, and then drying. This ingredient is responsible for the protein supplementation in the fish feed. Soybean Meal: This is the major source of protein in the fish feed formulation, it is especially high in essential amino acids, is palatable, and can easily be digested by fish. Groundnut Cake: This can be included in place of soybean in the feed. It supplies amino acids. Cottonseed Meal: It is highly palatable and contains about 40% protein. Maize: This is the major source of carbohydrate in the fish feed formulation and accounts for up to 30% of the total diet Other ingredients include wheat offal, vitamins, growth boosters, crayfish dust, cassava, palm oil, eggs, salt, etc. Feed Formulation Procedure These ingredients are used based on the feed formula chosen. Depending on the kind of feed required, pelleting or extrusion can be used. The process whereby food ingredients are forced to flow under conditions of mixing, beating, and heating, through a die that forms the ingredient is known as Feed extrusion. Extruded floating feeds are favored by farmers in Nigeria because they allow observation of the feeding processing thereby preventing wasteful feeding. If it is done by pelletizing, the pellets sink rapidly when thrown into the pond, pollute the water, and crumble, thus leading to wasteful feeding. If you want to know more about feed pellet formula knowledge from this article: How to design a suitable fish feed pellet formula in the different fish growth stages? Guides on How to Produce Fish Feed in Nigeria Nigeria is our largest market, we have a lot of local customers, if you need to visit our fish pellet equipment, we can provide you with contact information. In addition, the production of fish food pellets in Nigeria is also very promising, and good economic benefits can be obtained whether it is used by itself or sold.

Pay attention to vitamin supplements 1. Pay attention to the water quality and dissolved oxygen in the fish pond It is found that the water quality has deteriorated, and water should be added in time to improve the water quality of the fish pond. The dissolved oxygen per liter of water in a fish pond is generally required to be above 4 mg. If it is less than 4 mg, oxygen should be added to the fish pond. Water treatment schemes for fish seedling fields (3) Water treatment schemes for fish seedling fields 2. Pay attention to adjusting the feeding amount The feeding amount should be appropriately increased or decreased according to the change in water temperature because the water temperature is related to the food intake of the fish. The high water temperature causes the fish to eat more food, and vice versa. The water temperature is above 10℃, and the feeding amount can account for 3% to 4% of the total weight of the pond fish. 3. Pay attention to choosing pellets of different diameters Fish of different sizes should be fed pellets of different diameters. Generally, fish with a body length of 4 to 6 cm should be fed pellets with a diameter of 0.5 mm; for fish with a length of 7 to 8 cm, pellets with a diameter of 3 mm should be fed. Different fish feed pellet Different fish feed pellet 4. Pay attention to vitamin supplements This is because the vitamins are destroyed during the production of pellet feed. Therefore, when using pellets to raise fish, a small amount of vitamin- rich green feed should be fed to supplement the deficiency of vitamins.

How to choose right feed pellet for your fish farming? News / By Lima / Leave a Comment How to choose the applicable fish feed is veritably important for growers. Because purchasing of feed is the largest proportion of the cost in the entire process, it’s the key to gaining the profitable benefits of fish culture. The cost of fish feed accounts for a large proportion of fish growers’ products. Feed pellets are extensively used in fish husbandry. Choosing the right quality fish feed pellets can ameliorate feed application, growth rate, and vulnerable system, and prevent diseases. thus, fish growers must learn how to choose suitable fish feed pellets. Table Of Contents Feed quality must meet the ensuing conditions. How To Choice Right Feed Pellet? Chooses a large-scale factory with good specialized service Pay attention to feed security Control the number and amount of feedings Choosing dependable feed pellet manufacturers Pay attention to the shelf life of the feed pellet Feed quality must meet the ensuing conditions. Floating fish feed pellet production Floating fish feed pellet production The feed must be nutritionally complete, including a complete vitamin and mineral premix. The protein content of the feed is generally 32- 36%. Protein-rich feed costs more, but is worth the plutocrat, especially if the average fish weighs no lower than 50 grams. The quality of feed will drop with the extension of storehouse time. The feed should be used up within 6 weeks after the product, if the storehouse time is too long, its vitamins and other nutrients will be lost, or destroyed by fungi and other microorganisms.

With the development of the feed industry, the improvement of processing equipment and breeding technology, the aquatic feed by fish farmers have changed from ordinary single raw materials to powder, hard pellets and extruded feed. At present, except for some species (such as soft-shelled turtle, eel, etc.) that use powder, other species basically use hard pellet feed and extruded feed pellet. The fish feed pellets are processed from crushed materials such as corn, soybean meal, straw, grass, and rice husks that directly press pellets. Feed Pellets The feed raw materials are first crushed (or mixed first), then fully stirred and mixed, and water and additives are added. Hard pelleted feed: The water content of the molded feed is less than 13%, the particle density is greater than 1.3 g/m³, and the sinking property. Steam quenched and tempered above 80℃, rigid, diameter 1～8mm, length is 1～2 times of diameter. It is suitable for breeding salmon, trout, carp, crucian carp, grass carp, herring, bream, tilapia, and other species. Soft pelleted feed: The soft pellet feed has a water content of 20% to 30%, a particle density of 1 to 1.3 g/cm³, softness, a diameter of 1 to 8 mm, and a noodle or pelleted feed. No steam is added during the molding process, but 40% to 50% of water needs to be added, and it is dried and dehydrated after molding. Herbivorous, carnivorous, or carnivorous omnivorous fish like to eat this feed, such as grass carp, eel; carp, and bass. The disadvantage of soft pellet feed is that it has large water content, is prone to mildew and deteriorates, and is not easy to store and transport. Micro pellet feed: It is a general term for new feeds with a diameter of fewer than 500 microns and as small as 8 microns. They are often used as a substitute for plankton and are called artificial plankton. Feed newly hatched fry, shrimp, crab, and shellfish, also known as an open feed. Extruded pelleted feed: The water content of the extruded pellet feed is less than that of the hard pellet feed after molding, and the pellet density is about 0.6 g/cm³, which is a floating foamy pellet. It can float on the water surface for 12 to 24 hours without dissolving and dispersing, and the dissolution loss of nutrients is small, and it can directly observe the feeding situation of the fish, which is convenient to accurately control the feeding amount, so the feed utilization rate is high.

Ghana’s investment opportunities in fish husbandry Drivers of the fish farming market in Ghana Increase in Demand for Fish Provision of Food Security Market Analysis and Trends of fish farming in Ghana Market Challenges Fish transportation Start a fish farm in Ghana Ghana’s investment opportunities in fish husbandry Investment in fish husbandry is similar as the product of fish feed, parenting, and stock of high-quality fingerlings and training and capacity structure in fish farming. There has been an increase in private hatcheries to prop the development of aquaculture. However, there’s still a deficiency of 50 million fingerlings annually. The deficiency force of fingerlings limits the number of implicit fish farmers in Ghana and further leads farmers to resort to Undesired species to reproduce. There’s a request need for a dependable hatchery that can produce shindig and fingerlings of high quality. Fingerlings Catfish Fingerlings Training and education are of the need for the youth across the entire value chain; new fish farming styles, technology, harvesting, draining ponds, stocking and fish farm maintenance are crucial assiduity skill conditions. There are numerous opportunities for companies to fill this gap. Drivers of the fish farming market in Ghana Increase in Demand for Fish The increasing demand for fish globally and nationally and the declining supplies facing Ghana’s economy is other reasons for the development of aquaculture. In Ghana, more and more people are shying away from red meat as a source of protein due to health implications and are resorting to fish. Floating fish feed pellet machine Floating fish feed pellet machine Provision of Food Security Due to the role fishery plays in its contribution to GDP, the government has promoted aquaculture as a means of augmenting the declining marine catches yearly to provide food and employment for the populace. Market Analysis and Trends of fish farming in Ghana Ghana has a high domestic demand for fish and has one of the highest consumption per capita in the world (20 – 25kg/year). UN-Habitat predicts that the growing population and increasing urbanization mean the market for Ghanaian aquaculture is also expanding. Currently, 87 percent of households in Ghana are recorded to be consumers of Tilapia, especially in the smoked form. Market Challenges The aquaculture development in Ghana is constrained by several factors, characterized by three components: Limited Availability of Inputs Lack of fingerling production in Ghana Lack of affordable feed throughout Ghana for startups Fish transportation The transportation of fish in Ghana is a major headache for small-scale farmers, especially inland. These farmers may not be close to their ideal consumption sites and so must rely on middlemen to do the sales and distribution else, risk losses. A solution here that some farming associations have introduced is to pool their fish and pay for transport collectively to get their fish closer to the consumption centers. Start a fish farm in Ghana LM80 Dry way fish feed production line Fish feed production line Ghana’s fish consumption requirement is about 720,000 metric tonnes however, fish supply stands at 400,000 annually. Ghana has a natural potential for aquaculture, yet after years of adoption, aquaculture’s contribution to the economy has been quite low. The growing population and increasing urbanization in Ghana mean the market for Ghanaian aquatic.

Table Of Contents Choose the best suitable feed pellet Adding the frequency of supplementary feeding during the day Tips for fish feeding You should regularly check on the feed application to adjust feeding duly. Operational optimization is a never-ending process Choose the best suitable feed pellet Floating fish feed pellet Floating fish feed pellet 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 Operational optimization is a never-ending process High quality floating fish feed extruder High-quality floating fish feed extruder 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.
