Summer Feeds (SF) are specialy formulated for semi-intensive to intensive conditions (5-40 PL's/m2) and when the pond water salinity can be low (salinity below 20 ppt) and temperatures are optimal/high (between 27 and 32 °). The mineral composition of the feeds is formulated to compensate for the deficiencies the shrimp will be subjected to from the low mineral content of the water. The form of minerals used reduces the leaching out of the pellets compared to standard feeds. These feeds are high in nutrients which will enable shrimp to grow on till optimal harvest sizes.
