Always before starting the process of fish feed formulation ensure to use are clean, hygenic and safe. Also high temperature and pressure ensure good fish feeds formulation.
Check and use fish feed ingredients at their right moisture levels as these can affect fish health leading to death of fish thus causing farm losses. Additionally, pressure and temperature are important in fish feed formulation as they kill harmful bacteria.
Steps involved
Start by weighing fish feed ingredients in their right proportions and label them differently, these are then grinned to facilitate proper feed mixing. Thereafter mix all the grinned fish feed ingredients properly to from a mixture with even food nutrients. Furthermore add oil slowly into the mixture while mixing this helps the oil to evenly distribute across the mixture.
Additionally, condition the fish feed mixture using temperature and heat to destroy harmful micro organisms in feeds and pellet the fish feed mixture. Furthermore, dry the pelleted fish feeds to moisture level of 6-12% to ease feed digestion by the fish and also vacuum coat the feeds to for easy consumption by the salmons and trouts. Lastly, ensure proper feed packaging and storage to prevent feed contamination.
