Can Shrimp eFeeders Be Used in All Types of Ponds?

Before installing a Shrimp eFeeder in your pond, you need to pay attention to several aspects, such as the type of pond where the eFeeder will be installed, the distance between the eFeeder and the water anco, where to install the eFeeder (using a float or bridge), the cultivation system used, and so on. You must pay attention to these aspects so that the eFeeder can function optimally and the shrimp do not experience food shortages. 

Then, what cultivation system is suitable for using eFeeder? And, can the eFeeder be used in all types of ponds? Check out the following explanation!  

Suitable Culture System for Shrimp eFeeders

Shrimp eFeeder (formerly eFishery Feeder) is auto feeder shrimp suitable for all aquaculture systems (traditional, semi-intensive, and intensive) and can be used in all types of ponds.

What needs to be remembered when using a Shrimp eFeeder in a pond is that you need to make a special place to install the eFeeder. This special place can be in the form of a bridge or a buoy located in the middle of the pond.

If you use a bridge, it is better if the bridge is made 10-12 meters from the bund with a position jutting towards the pond. You can make a bridge out of wood, bamboo or concrete/cement. 

If you plan to place the eFeeder on the float, make sure the Shrimp eFeeder is not exposed to water when pond water shocks occur. This is to prevent rust on the eFeeder due to pond water.  

How to Optimize the Use of Shrimp eFeeders in Various Types of Ponds

1. Ground Pool

An earthen pool is a pond whose bottom and bunds are made of soil without any layers. If you want to use the eFeeder in an earthen pond, you need to make a bridge first as a place to install the eFeeder. eFeeder can be fastened with clamps supplied in the eFeeder package or tied with wire. 

2. Concrete Pool

Concrete ponds or cement ponds are ponds whose parts are concreted/cemented so that they are permanent and not easily damaged. For placing the eFeeder in a concrete pool, you can use a bridge. Make a bridge with a distance of 30-40% from the side of the pond length and the distance of the bridge 10-12 meters from the side of the pond.

3. Plastic Pool

Plastic ponds are pools/ponds covered with plastic. The eFeeder can be used in plastic pools by placing it at the end of a bridge at a distance of 10-12 meters from the side of the pool. 

4. Floating Net Cage (KJA)

For the use of eFeeders in floating net ponds, eFeeders can be attached to buoys or placed on bridges. When using a float, you must make sure the eFeeder is about 50 cm above the water level. This is so that the eFeeder can rotate and spread the feed to the maximum.
