How to Overcome Low SR in Shrimp with eFeeder

Survival rate or low SR in shrimp you need to watch out for because it will cause losses in the aquaculture business. One of the effects of high and low SR on shrimp is the water quality factor. Then, what does the SR number have to do with eFeeder use? Check out the explanation here!

Causes of Low Shrimp SR

The low SR of shrimp is caused by several factors, one of which is water quality. Poor water quality will cause shrimp to experience stress, so that shrimp are susceptible to disease and death. There are many causes of poor water quality, such as extreme weather, dead plankton, and leftover feed overfeeding, and others. 

Overfeeding is excessive feeding which causes the remaining feed to settle to the bottom of the pond. This will damage the water quality because it will cause high nitrite and ammonia in the pond. The amount of nitrite that is too high will be toxic to shrimp, even causing shrimp to die. You must arrange feeding so that this does not happen overfeeding. One way is to use eFeeder. 

Shrimp eFeeder is auto feeder shrimp feed or fully automatic shrimp feed equipment that can be controlled via cellphone Android, so that you can monitor and regulate feeding according to the needs of the shrimp pond. One of the advantages of Shrimp eFeeder is that it can increase Survival Rate (SR) shrimp are low. Let's see how below!

How to Overcome Low SR with Shrimp eFeeder

Availability of feed is one of the factors that affect shrimp SR. Adequate and timely feed availability as well as good nutrition will accelerate the growth rate of shrimp and maintain shrimp SR, so that aquaculture production meets expectations. Not only that, the right amount of feed at the right time can also maintain water quality, so that shrimp avoid stress or death.

The use of a shrimp eFeeder is considered effective because more feed will be eaten by shrimp than falling to the bottom of the pond. The small amount of leftover feed that settles at the bottom of the pond keeps the water quality in the pond optimal and stable. Optimal water quality makes shrimp not easily stressed and safer from disease, so that the survival rate or SR of shrimp in ponds can be maintained. 

eFeeder works by ejecting feed in the amount and time that has been set through the application in cellphone until the feed in the container runs out. The transparent eFeeder tube makes it easier for you to see the remaining feed and refill the container when the feed runs out. 

You are free to determine the duration, frequency, amount, and distance of the feed spread with the eFeeder, so that the settings can be adjusted according to the needs and appetite of the shrimp. The goal is to minimize any excess or shortage of feed.  

Success Stories of Farmers Who Manage to Maintain SR Ponds with Shrimp eFeeders

The increase in SR or the survival rate of shrimp using the eFeeder has been felt by some farmers, such as Pak Kevin Ariza. Since Pak Kevin used eFeeder, survival rates ponds increased to reach 78%. This happens because the level of ammonia from wasted feed decreases, so the quality of pond water becomes better. 

Apart from that, the Jepara Millennial Pond also felt an increase in SR after using the eFeeder. By scattering 100,000 shrimp seeds, the Jepara Millennial Pond can produce approximately 1.8 tons of shrimp harvest with a size of 28 shrimp per kg weighing up to 35 grams. Survival rate-it also improved, which was originally only 70% has now reached 80%.
