Calculation Results

Real-Time Output

Daily Feed Required

160.0 kg/day

Feed per Meal

40.0 kg/meal

Monthly Feed Estimate

4800 kg (160 bags)

Calculated using verified ICAR-CIBA & CAA commercial aquaculture standards

How the Formula Works

Daily Feed (kg) = Total Biomass (kg) × (Feeding Rate % ÷ 100) Feed Per Meal (kg) = Daily Feed (kg) ÷ Number of Meals

Why This Calculation Matters:

Distributing feed evenly across 4 to 6 meals daily improves digestion, prevents uneaten feed from decomposing at the pond bottom, and minimizes toxic ammonia spikes.

Pro Farming Tips:

  • Reduce feed by 20–30% during cloudy days or when dissolved oxygen drops below 4 mg/L.
  • Adjust feeding rates based on checktray consumption within 1.5 to 2 hours post feeding.
