Specifications for FastGrowth Feeds (FG)
These feeds are nutritionally complete feeds and specially formulated for the following cases:
- Intensive culture (20-80 PL's/m2) of Penaeus monodonor other species.
- When the natural production of the ponds is low, so the shrimp rely exclusively on the feed for their nutritional needs. They are thus also useful if pond conditions such as high turbidity does not allow a good bloom in the ponds.
- When the farm management requires the fastest possible growth for optimal economic performance
These feeds are high in nutrients which will enable shrimp to grow on till optimal harvest.
