| Session 4 | Matching Industry Needs with Precision Shrimp Nutrition, Health Interventions and Feed Efficiency |
| Presentation | Optimized Feed and Feeding Protocol for Increased Profitability and Reduced Environmental Impact |
Abstract
In addition to being hit by the increasing price of inputs, diseases, climatic changes and the volatile farmgate price, shrimp farmers also face increased pressure to produce more sustainably. The optimization of feed formulations regarding cost and performance requires a strong technical follow-up in the farm to reap their full benefits. The strategy has to be adapted to the conditions (access to water and quality of water), farming infrastructure, level of disease challenges and technical expertise of farmers, etc. This presentation will share data from crops from various set-ups documenting the effect of feeding protocols on cost of production and on the environmental impact.
