Brief description of the overall animal aqua fish shrimp feed production process:

1. Raw material receiving system:
   Design three feeding ports, and set up a bag dust removal system to improve the working environment.
2. Coarse crushing system:
   Design three hammer mill crushers to coarsely crush all raw materials to improve the efficiency of ultrafine powder.
3. Primary batching mixing system:
   The batching system is designed with 18 batching bins, equipped with mixers and batching scales, and the mixers are equipped with return air systems.
4. Clean the (ultra-fine) grinding system:
   Design 4 sets of 150-type ultra-fine grinders to crush shrimp feed and puffed fish feed, small pellet feed and high-grade floating fish pellet feed. The grinding fineness is higher. The use of ultra-fine grinding can improve the feed quality.
5. Secondary batching mixing system:
   One batching system is designed for secondary batching. Fish feed and shrimp feed are mixed twice to improve the uniformity of ultra-finely crushed materials. The mixer is equipped with a return air system to reduce the impact of negative pressure in the mixer on the batching accuracy. In this section, grease can be added to increase the grease content of the finished product.
6. Pelleting and maturation:
   Pelleting is the process of compacting the mixed powder through mechanical action and extruding it out of the die holes to form granular feed. The powdery raw materials in the granulation bin enter the conditioner through the feeder at the bottom of the bin.
   At the same time, steam will also flow into the conditioner. After the raw materials come into contact with high-temperature steam, the temperature rises rapidly to 78-83°C, and the moisture content rises to about 16.5%.
   After the raw materials are conditioned, they become soft due to the absorption of heat and moisture in the steam, which is conducive to granulation and forming.
   At the same time, after high-temperature treatment, most harmful microorganisms in the raw materials have been killed and the raw materials have matured, which is beneficial to reducing animal morbidity and improving the digestion and absorption rate of feed.
7. Extrusion and drying system:
   Choose a bedroom dryer. This aqua fish feed dryer is the latest type of dryer machine. It has the characteristics of high drying efficiency, energy saving, low failure rate; uniform moisture; stable drying temperature and other characteristics.
8. Screening and spraying system:
   Use roller spraying, spraying evenly, no flowers and scraps, no waste, controllable, no pollution to the workshop environment.
9. Cooling and crumbling:
   The cylindrical feed enters the counterflow pellet cooler and is cooled by air. The temperature of the cooled feed is controlled within the range of ambient temperature +5.5°C. The cooled pellet feed has a large particle size and is not suitable for direct consumption by animals. It needs to be crushed by a pellet crumbler first.
10. Screening and finished product packaging system:
    The crumbled feed enters the screening machine for screening, the feed with qualified particle size goes to the finished product warehouse, and the feed with too large and too small particle size is recycled. Qualified finished products enter the automatic packaging system for weighing and packaging.

1. Corn, soybean meal, rapeseed rice, wheat and other raw materials are first cleaned through a cleaning screen and then crushed by a crusher.
2. The crushed raw materials are batched and weighed according to the preset feed formula requirements, using a specific batching and measurement system for different types of feed raw materials.
3. The prepared materials are sent to the mixing equipment, and then the premix, grease, and water are weighed and mixed according to the formula proportions.
4. After the mixture enters the livestock poultry feed pellet machine, it produces granular compound feed whose nutritional content and mixing uniformity meet the qualified product standards.
5. The pellets are crushed after cooling.
6. After the crushed materials pass the finished product screening inspection, they are packed by a baler and stored in the warehouse for external sale; the coarse particles are returned to the previous crushing link, and the fine powder is returned to the granulation link.

1. Raw materials such as meal are first cleaned through a cleaning sieve, and then crushed through a pulverizer.
2. The pulverized raw materials shall be batched and weighed at one time according to the preset feed formula requirements and using a specific batching and measurement system for different types of feed raw materials.
3. The prepared materials are sent to the mixing equipment for primary mixing.
4. After primary mixing, perform secondary crushing + secondary mixing.
5. The mixture enters the extruder and is expanded to produce granular compound feed whose nutritional content and mixing uniformity meet qualified product standards.
6. After drying, the pellets are sprayed with grease and then cooled.
7. After cooling, the pellets pass the finished product screening test and then enter the charter machine for packaging and storage for external sale; the fine powder is screened and returned to the primary ingredient mixing process; the coarse particles return to the cleaning and crushing process.

The qualified products screened out are weighed and packaged by the charter machine and stored in the warehouse for external sale; the fine powder is screened and returned to the primary ingredient mixing process; the coarse particles are returned to cleaning and crushing link.

As a large maritime country, India's fishery output value has always been among the best in the world, and India's fishery export volume ranks first in the world.

In recent decades, India has invested 2,050 billion rupees (approximately US$246 million) in inland aquaculture, and inland aquaculture production has reached 13.1 million tons, doubling in the past nine years.

India accounts for 8% of global fish production and is the second largest aquaculture producer, the third largest fish producer and the fourth largest exporter of seafood. Aquaculture is one of the key pillars of global food security and serves millions of people. Farmers provide livelihoods and meet the growing demand for protein.

It can be clearly seen that the strong development of the aquaculture industry in India has incomparable traditional advantages in both fish farming and shrimp farming. Correspondingly, the fish feed and shrimp feed processing industries will also develop in proportion.

Evaluate the possibilities of the fish shrimp feed production line you choose thoroughly. It is important to narrow it down to a certain market, and manufacturing food for animals of all kinds could not be the best idea.

Manufacturing methods for shrimp fish feed food items are not even like the livestock, poultry, and pet food products. Your market will be too fast-paced. Three are highly sought-after and a plan that has three as the primary focus will bring more market potential across the world.

Conduct market research about the aqua fish shrimp and other animals that live in India area. If you plan to market your idea to an investor, then you need to present the uniqueness of your strategy in comparison to other competitors.

Pick the most attractive market segment for your area and calculate your revenue projections, by setting your initial market share.

The investment in the fish feed & shrimp feed mill plan will concentrate on the equipment and the plant as the largest expense for the beginning costs. You must invest in top-quality equipment to produce high-quality aqua feeds.

You can also consider investing in custom equipment to meet your requirements, which calls for greater investment. Alternatively, you can seek an expert's advice on the equipment for the fish feed & shrimp feed plant you require before setting up your budget.

A sound aqua fish shrimp feed business plan identifies the plant closest to customers. Additionally, you should want your business to be close to the feed suppliers you have as you can, the further you are away from your customers, the more expensive your distribution costs and marketing cost.

It is crucial to plan bulk-purchasing during harvest season for plant-based products for the most affordable prices. In the shrimp and fish feed mill business plans, it is essential to describe your source of materials and potential suppliers following the market assessment.

Aqua feeds that are not of the highest quality in any industry can put your company out of business, or create legal issues for your startup, a strong formula for feedings will allow for an affordable budget for professional advice in the formula's creation along with employee training.
