Production

Shrimp Powder is produced by sun exposure or drying. The raw materials can also be boiled or steamed before drying.The dried product is often marketed or crushed form. In addition, we also use wet (raw shrimp or compost) can also be mixed with soybean meal. More shrimp chitin powder, shrimp powder with a little adhesive ability of GRAIN .

Use shrimp meal as feed for sheep

For sheep fed with waste shells mixed with Streptococcus milleri group (such as chitin-degrading bacteria) does not alter animal performance and reduce feed costs . However, shrimp meal supplemented soybean stems and leaves and the maximum amount of grass-based diets in sheep Nigeria did not give results as good as the results obtained with the other components.

Use shrimp meal as feed for pigs
