This document discusses the components and process of an indigenous fish feed manufacturing plant. It notes that the plant would have components like weigh scales, elevators, mixers, grinders, screens, and pelletizers to process ingredients into fish feed. The mixing, cooking, conditioning and pelletizing process is described. Additional components like dust collectors and control panels are also mentioned. The document provides context on the need for more localized fish feed production in India.

11. Economic AnalysisIndian Fisheries (NFDB –
2018 ))
Global position 3rd in Fisheries 2nd in Aquaculture
Contribution of Fisheries to GDP (%) 1.07
Contribution to Agril. GDP (%) 5.15
Per capita fish availability (Kg.) 9.0
Annual Export earnings (Rs. In Crore) 33,441.61
Employment in sector (million) 14.0

12. ANALYSIS OF NEEDS FOR FEED MANUFACTURING
General
 Aqua – based food demand is increasing @ 0.6 % per
 annum
 Fish eating population in India is about 56 %
 Per capita / annum consumption of fish in India is 3.5 Kg
 against 86 Kg in Japan
 Inland fishery in India has increased 14- fold
 Feed cost is 50 – 70 % of the production cost
 Shrimp /Prawn feed is imported at high cost .
Physical form and chemical composition of feed varies
 with species, growth stage and production environment

13. ANALYSIS OF NEEDS -- CONTD
General
Feed manufacturing units set up in foreign
 collaboration import feed ingredients
 Large capacity units of 5 – 7 t/hr capacity cost Rs 12 –
 14 crores and are mostly under utilized
 Concentration of large capacity factories along coastal
line or in big cities result in high cost on storage,
 Transport and handling for numerous disposal out lets
 Because inland fishery is based on satellite production
farms spread through length and breadth of the state /
country

14. FEED SPECIFIC ANALYSIS OF NEEDS
 Natural feed based average capture from rivers, lakes and
reservoirs range between 48 to 250 kg per ha per crop.
Average production from ponds on natural feed is about
600 kg per ha per year
Indian average is 2000 Kg / ha/year
Culture – based fishery on small ponds is the most
appropriate management option
Semi – intensive culture with supplementary feed can yield
5000 Kg / ha / year

15. CONTD …..ANALYSIS OF NEEDS FEED SPECIFIC
Intensive culture with supplementary feed can yield 15000
kg per ha per year
Industrial culture on supplementary feed exhibited yield of
35 to 50 , 000 kg per ha per year
Present feed deficit on extensive culture basis is 88% and
very large for intensive and extensive culture basis.
There is high promise to utilize local produce and local
agro industrial by products.
