Crab feed made with potatoes

The feed for breeding crabs generally accounts for more than 30% of the cost of feeding. Due to the current high cost of crab feed, the price of commercial crabs has dropped, and the income of crab farmers has been getting lower and lower. This has seriously dampened the enthusiasm for raising crabs. In recent years, some aquaculture departments and specialized crab raising households in Binhai County, Jiangsu Province have successfully researched and developed potato and crab feeds through research and exploration and under the guidance of relevant experts. Practice has proved that the use of potatoes cooked, processed into crab feed, can not only greatly reduce the cost of crabs, improve the efficiency of crabs, but also solve the problem of local potato sales, so that every 500 grams of potatoes than the past value of 0.2 yuan .

The use of potatoes to make crab feed has a wide range of raw materials, low cost, good palatability, nutrient-rich, crab-like food, and can be used for feeding fish, shrimp and other aquatic products. At the same time, the feed production method is relatively simple, and it can be produced on a large scale by machinery, and the crab owners can also make it by themselves. Therefore, the potato crab feed has a wide range of application values.

The technical points of its processing and feeding are introduced as follows.

First, the process

Material selection - cleaning - cut - cooking - crushing - batching - forming - drying.

Second, processing technology

Each 100 kilograms of potatoes were added in amounts of 100 grams of salt, 50 grams of flavor, 100 grams of ferula, and 200 grams of vitamin C. Stir in the mixture immediately after adding it.

7. Molding is done mechanically or manually to make small cubes or granules of suitable size.

8. Dry it in time to dry or dry it, then seal it in a plastic bag and store it.
