Feed shrimp to 80 percent full, and the shrimp stay strong while you save on feed costs
According to @#@234@#@ practice, if during the farming process you feed small amounts more often and appropriately stop feeding 1 to 2 meals every 7 to 10 days, not only can the shrimp grow robustly and gain weight normally, but you can also save on shrimp-farming feed costs.
The small-amount-more-often shrimp-farming method. Small-amount-more-often means changing the 4 meals originally fed per day into 5 to 6 meals. Although the number of feedings per day increases, the amount fed each time is relatively reduced; feed that originally took 1.5 hours to finish can now be finished within 1 hour. Its benefits are: First, the feed's retention time in the water is shortened, which can reduce loss and pollution of the water body. Because feed soaked in water for a long time easily becomes loose, and nutrients dissipate into the water, causing water pollution and feed waste. Second, keeping the shrimp always at 70 to 80 percent full keeps them with a strong feeding appetite, so the shrimp are lively and grow quickly.
The appropriate feed-stopping shrimp-farming method. Practice has shown that appropriately stopping feed for 1 to 2 meals every 7 to 10 days does not affect the shrimp's growth, and instead has the following benefits: First, it allows the shrimp to fully feed on zooplankton and phytoplankton in the water, and to a certain extent the shrimp can self-purify the water body. Second, before feeding medicated or nutritional bait, stopping feed for 1 to 2 meals and then mixing and feeding can improve the shrimp's absorption rate, thereby enhancing the efficacy of the medicine and nutrition. Third, appropriately stopping feed, while not affecting the shrimp's growth rate, can also save a considerable amount of money on feed per crop of shrimp, thereby effectively lowering shrimp-farming costs.
