500KG/H Fish Feed Mill Plant in Nigeria

This fish feed mill plant in Nigeria proves that in a market like Nigeria, small-scale fish feed plants have low investment risks and fast returns, and are an ideal choice for medium-sized fish farms to reduce costs.

500KG/H Fish Feed Mill Plant in Nigeria

OVERVIEW

This is a project about 500kg/h fish feed mill plant in Nigeria.

In a medium-sized fish farm on the outskirts of Lagos, Nigeria, the owner of this fish farm encountered the most troublesome problem for all fish farmers - the high cost of feed. His 50 acres of fish ponds mainly breed Nile tilapia and African catfish, and he spends nearly 2 million naira per month on imported feed, accounting for more than 60% of the breeding costs. To make matters worse, last year, due to port delays, the feed supply was cut off for three weeks, resulting in stagnation of fish growth and a direct loss of 1.5 million naira.

This pain point prompted our customer to start looking for a solution. After market research, he found that investing in a small fish feed production line was a wise choice.

Our 500kg/h fish feed mill plant solution just met his needs - low investment cost, small footprint, simple operation, and most importantly, it allows him to achieve self-sufficiency in feed, no longer affected by the price fluctuations and unstable supply of imported feed.

Tailor-made solutions

The 500kg/h fish feed mill plant in Nigeria we designed for our customer is very streamlined and practical. The core aqua feed machine used is a 500kg/h single-screw dry type fish feed extruder, equipped with a crusher, mixer, dryer and sprayer.

The entire fish feed mill plant occupies less than 50 square meters and can be easily placed in his fish farm warehouse. What makes him most satisfied is that the return on investment of this equipment is only 14 months, which is much faster than he expected.

Localized raw material formula

This fish feed mill plant in Nigeria project makes full use of the readily available raw materials in Nigeria to reduce costs. The protein source mainly uses poultry by-product meal (supplied by local slaughterhouses) accounting for 25%, and imported fish meal accounts for only 15%. The energy raw materials are local corn flour (30%) and cassava flour (20%), which are abundant crops in Nigeria.

To improve the quality of the pellets, we recommend adding 5% wheat flour as a natural binder and mixing it with 2% vitamin premix. This formula not only costs 35% less than imported feed, but also fully meets the nutritional needs of tilapia and catfish.

Simple and efficient process flow

The production process of this fish feed mill plant in Nigeria is designed to be very simple and efficient.

  1. First, the raw materials are crushed to a fineness of about 1mm with a hammer mill to ensure that fish can digest and absorb them.
  2. Then they are fully stirred in a double-layer mixer, and appropriate amount of water is added to adjust the moisture content to 14%.
  3. The conditioned materials enter the dry type fish feed extruder machine and are extruded at a temperature of 110-120℃.
  4. The freshly extruded pellets are dried at 80℃ for 20 minutes in a small dryer, and finally sprayed with a layer of fish oil evenly with a simple sprayer.

The entire process from raw materials to finished products only takes 40 minutes, and the two workers of our customer can operate proficiently after simple training.

Specifications of high-quality feed products

The fish feed mill plant in Nigeria  produces two specifications of floating feed.

The particle crushing strength is 8-10N, and it is not easy to break during transportation and feeding. After testing, this customer found that the growth rate of fish using self-produced feed was 15% faster than that using imported feed, and the feed coefficient dropped to about 1.5.

Significant economic benefits

Three months after the start of fish feed mill plant in Nigeria, the customer reported to us: 60 tons of feed were produced per month, and the cost was only 120,000 naira per ton, while the original purchase of imported feed cost 180,000 naira per ton.

Just for feed alone, 3.6 million naira was saved per month. What made him even happier was that the quality of the fish was more stable, and now his fish can be sold at a 10% higher price in the market. It is expected that the entire equipment investment will be recovered in 8 months, and then more than 4 million naira will be earned each month.

This fish feed mill plant in Nigeria proves that in a market like Nigeria, small-scale fish feed plants have low investment risks and fast returns, and are an ideal choice for medium-sized fish farms to reduce costs.

This customer is now planning to expand production and prepare to sell excess feed to small fish farmers in the surrounding area to open up new sources of income. He often said that this set of equipment not only solved his feed problem, but also made a qualitative leap in his fish farming business.
