SHRIMP SHELL WASTE FLOUR-BASED FISH FEED FORMULATION AND ITS PRODUCTION PROCESS

Abstract

This invention relates to the production process and formulation of artificial fish feed based on shrimp waste flour used for the fattening process of fish with a minimum age of 2 months or a minimum weight of 10 grams. The shrimp waste flour used comes from shrimp shell waste. The resulting feed is a floating feed that has high stability. The mixture used consists of a mixture of shrimp shell waste flour, bran, cassava starch, vitamin premix, and squid oil with a ratio of 70% (w / w): 12% (w / w): 9% (w / w): 2% (w / w): 9% (w / w) and water is added to the mixture as much as 75% (w / w) of the mixed ingredients. The feed was made using a steaming method for 5-15 minutes, producing feed with a proximate composition of 40.50% protein, 35.75% carbohydrate, 6.00% fat, 14.75% ash content, 4.41% water content, and 4.00% crude fiber. Based on the proximate analysis, the mixture20 has met the SNI for fish feed.In the production process, to produce floating fish feed, there are stages, namely: drying shrimp shells at a temperature of 100-105oC for 80-100 minutes; grinding dried shrimp shells into shrimp shell flour; mixing shrimp shell flour with other dry ingredients25 such as bran, vitamin premix, squid oil, and water; steaming the mixture for 5-15 minutes; molding the pellet dough; and drying at a temperature of 150oC until dry. The above production process produces physical characteristics of 20 hours of breaking speed, 4% dispersion, 240 minutes of buoyancy, and 2.72 cm / second of sinking speed.
