Over 90 percent of shrimp feed production in Asia is still based on the use of lower-cost compression-based pelleting techniques. Nutritional and economic superiority of using extruded shrimp feeds has been known for almost two decades. Shrimp fed with sinking extruded feeds display higher growth and improved feed conversion efficiency compared to shrimp fed with conventional pelleted feeds. The main drivers for the shrimp-farming sector to transition from the use of conventional pelleted feeds to extruded shrimp feeds will be economics and farm profitability. The entry of the major European salmon feed producers into the international shrimp feed market has increased interest in the development and use of a new generation of extruded sinking shrimp feeds produced using advanced shrimp processing technologies.
