9. Feed costs (40-60% variable cost)
• Reality is farmer can receive more
profits by properly managing the
feed than a feed mill can save in
formulations
• FOCUS on specific nutrient
requirement of shrimp – in terms
of amino acids and other micro-
ingredients
• Improve feed management!
10. SUSTAINABLE INGREDIENTS – CUT THE FEED COST
Diets must be developed based on sustainability and plant-based protein source could replace
the use of animal meal – Especially Fish Meal
11. APPLICATION OF LOW PROTEIN DIET
1. Change in culture system: Biofloc, Synbiotic
system, Aquamimicry system
2. HIGH Protein diet promote number of problems:
Build up of nitrogenous compounds and
phosphorous in culture water – increasing
the risk of disease outbreaks
Requires the addition of carbon into the
pond system
Loss of expensive ingredients
3. LOW Protein diet with high inclusion levels of
sustainable ingredients
FARMERS points of view:
1. Crude protein (True protein + Non-P Nitrogen
compounds does not mean AVAILABLE PROTEIN
2. How much proteins are digestible
3. How much proteins are metabolizable
4. Shrimp = Active Grazer
5. Good water quality will enhance the growth of
the shrimp
LOW PROTEIN STILL UNDER DEBATE
12. Basics of nutrition
Nutrition and feeding practices go
hand in hand.
– Diet is worthless unless properly stored
and applied.
– Application is worthless unless the diet is
nutritious (Allen Davis, 2021)
It is not the quantity of feed that is
important it is the level of nutrients that are
delivered.

15. Example Feed Costs: 9/2/2020
1.Feed 25% - US$0.81/kg = 0.0324 $/unit protein
2.Feed 28% - US$0.84/kg = 0.0300 $/ unit protein
3.Feed 35% - US$0.93/kg = 0.0266 $/ unit protein
Now given protein drives growth
a.100 kg 25% = 25 kg protein and a cost of $81.00
b.100 Kg 35% = 35 kg protein and a cost of $93.00
71.4 kg 35% protein feed = 25 Kg protein and cost of $66.40
Quality feed give quality results, when properly applied.
17. FUNCTIONAL FEED: NEW EMERGING TREND IN INDONESIA
1. Decreasing the incidence of diseases outbreaks
and the need to decrease the dependence on
fish meal and fish oil in aquafeed formulation
2. Functional Feed: Feed that provides superior
performance than that achieved using a
conventional feed through incorporation of
specialty ingredients that promote growth,
health, and survival (Soto et al. 2015)
What can be included: Yeast extracts,
phytogenics, probiotics, nucleotide, prebiotics
and others

22. THE USE OF NUCLEOTIDES IN SHRIMP FEED
1. Nucleotides are the building blocks of
nucleic acids, made up of a nitrogenous
base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate
group
2. Nucleotides also known as the
immunomodulator for aquatic organisms
In aquafeed production system, the recommended
dose to be included in the diet formulation is 500 -
1000 g per ton of feed.
24. THE USE OF NUCLEOTIDES IN SHRIMP FEED

different (P<0.05) based on analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. Fish meal (FM)
and nucleotides (NT) inclusion levels (%) are described below the name of the diet.
26. YEAST-PRODUCT OR IT’S DERIVATIVES
1. Quality of yeast can be used to (partially) replace the use of fish meal or soybean
meal in the diet formulation
2. Yeast may act as a potential immunostimulant for shrimp
3. Like other invertebrates, shrimps lack an adaptive immune system and
they rely on their innate immunity to fight the infection. Is there any possibility
for yeast to stimulate the immune function of shrimp?

with similar survival rate among the treatments
33. HOW TO ORDER THE FUNCTIONAL FEED
There are two way to get the functional feed in Indonesia:
1. Direct purchase of functional feed that has recently been launched and
circulating in Indonesian market
2. Propose special order to feed mill – Farmers can propose to include an
active ingredients into the diet formulation to the feed mill, but only for
INTERNAL USE and can not be sold.
Special order is possible but still under the Indonesian government
monitoring system c.q Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Republic
of Indonesia
34. WATER AND POND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
POND PREPARATION: It takes ± 21 days starting from the completion of harvest until filling
The water into the ponds, including drying the ponds, liming, cleaning of plastic (HDPE) and
Paddle wheel, water treatment and final inspection
Pond Drying – Breaking the diseases
Life cycle and please always dry the
ponds between the production cycles
Pond Liming– improve the water
quality, act as disinfectant, Kill the
pathogenic agents and as a source of
nutrient to growth the phytoplankton
Cleaning the Equipment– To make
sure that there is no possibility that
the equipment could be a vector for
diseases transmission
35. WATER AND POND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
WATER INLET TREATMENT POND DISCHARGE TREATMENT WASTE WATER TREATMENT
36. WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
1. Inlet water treatment system in reservoirs – Please pay attention to the minimum
retention time . In Indonesia normally farmers use Crustacide (1 ppm), carbaryl
(Sevin), dichlorvos for crustacean carriers of WS virus and KMnO4 and Ca(OH)2 to
reduce the organic materials. For water quality – focus on Alkalinity and pH
2. During the production – Focus on: Dissolved oxygen, transparency, water exchange
(not for the first 30 – 40 days) and water circulation. Pond can be also equipped
with central drain for better and smooth water discharge from the production
pond
3. Waste water treatment system – consist with settling basin, physical, biological and
chemical treatment system. In Indonesia, integration system with tilapia or milkfish
as the natural biofilter getting popular
37. AERATOR POSITIONING IN PONDS
1. Increase the availability of dissolved oxygen. In
shrimp culture, we need to maintain the dissolved
oxygen concentration level at minimum 4 mg/L,
preferably > 6 mg/L to maximize the growth
potential
2. Induce proper water circulation
3. Aerators can be positioned in groups to create a
zone of good oxygen concentration
For Carrying capacity:
1. 1 PW could cover 100 – 150 m2 of the pond
bottom
2. 1 PW could cover 25,000 – 35,000 of shrimp seed
3. 1 PW could cover 400 – 500 Kg of shrimp biomass

39. WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – SYNBIOTICS
General description of Synbiotic is a practice that involves fermenting Prebiotics
(generally Rice Bran) and Probiotics with enzymes and buffers in sterile freshwater
and subsequently administering the fermented product directly into ponds or
administered in feed. The technique is a lowcost method and employed for
improving the pond environment that would help in warding off diseases besides
enhancing survival rates of shrimps.
WAY OF FUTURE
40. • The synbiotic concept incorporates a
nutritional supplement which is a combination
of probiotics and prebiotics.
• This is usually done by fermenting a carbon
source, such as rice bran, with probiotics as
well as other supplements and applying to the
pond.
Probiotics + Prebiotics + Fermentation = Synbiotics
41. The fermentation of specific prebiotics provides the substrate, energy
and soluble nutrients to sustain colonies of beneficial bacteria.
Aerobic fermentation Per kilo
Rice bran 1 kilo
probiotic 3-5 g
Buffer – Na2(HO3) or CaC03 50-100 g
Seawater (Cl or peroxide) 10 liters
Aeration - 24 hours pH 6.0-6.5
Enzyme 3-5 g Beta-D-Mannanase
42. SYNBIOTICS AND OTHER SYSTEM
BENEFIT OF THE SYSTEM
1. Synbiotics is the distribution of probiotic colonies
2. Disease control , vibrio and others pathogens
3. Water Quality, control pH, cyanobacteria and turbidity
4. Synbiotics contain the fuel to sustain good bacteria
5. Synbiotics provide soluble nutrients for micro organism (live food)

50. OTHER TECHNOLOGY: MILLENIAL FARMING SYSTEM
1. The MSF pilot farms use the latest
technologies, such as digitalization and
IoT, to speed up decision making and
minimize losses should an outbreak of
disease occur.
2. Circular design: the ease of ensuring
water circulation, so the waste is more
easily removed through the central
drain
3. With an average diameter of 20 meters
and density of 150 PL (post-larvae)/m2.
The production is 1.3 tonnes or
equivalent with 41 tonnes per hectare.
4. With this system, the density can be
push to 200 PL/m2 – Proper feeding
and water management system
51. SHRIMP ESTATE FARMING SYSTEM
1. Another innovation for intensive shrimp
farming production system in Indonesia
2. For better production system – all
supporting element, including energy,
hatchery, feed mill, cold storage,
processing waste water treatment,
laboratory and other required facilities are
integrated in one area
