Description Compounded feeds have been one of the essential
requisites in the development of aquaculture. Rearing of
larvae in the hatchery, postal larval rearing in the nursery
until they become stockable size and their subsequent culture
in grow-out ponds require appropriate and nutritionally
balanced compounded feeds. Compounded feeds have many
advantages. By understanding the nutritional requirements
of the candidate species of culture, nutritionally well
balanced feeds could be formulated using low-cost feedstuffs
available in the concerned region. These feeds could be
prepared in large quantities with good shelf life and can be
used off the shelf wherever and whenever required. Preparation
of compounded feed does not require extensive area and highly
skilled man power. High efficiency of the feed could be
achieved by judicious manipulation of feed ingredients and
can be made economically feasible. Dispensing of compounded
feeds is quite convenient over large farm areas and automatic
feed dispensing devices could be successfully employed.
