Abstract

Feed is the largest contributor to operational costs (50-60%) in intensive vaname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) cultivation, so inefficient feed management can substantially erode profitability. This case study aims to analyze the technical and economic impact of the implementation of an Automatic Shrimp Feeder (ASF) integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology and powered by solar energy on PT's intensive shrimp ponds. Mina Balng Berkah, Sukabumi. The research uses mixed methods with qualitative descriptive analysis. The results show that ASF adoption has a significant positive impact. Feed efficiency increased sharply, as indicated by a decrease in the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) from 1.5 to 1.25. Apart from that, the use of ASF also has an impact on increasing the Survival Rate (SR) and cultivation productivity. From an economic aspect, feed efficiency and reduced labor requirements for feeding (from 3 to 2 people per cycle) result in reduced operational costs and increased production value, which leads to an increase in net profitability of more than twofold. The application of ASF based on IoT and solar energy has proven to be the optimal solution for achieving precision aquaculture, increasing resource efficiency, and being effective in increasing the productivity and sustainability of shrimp farming.

Abstract

The high demand for shrimp in the global market, along with national production growth targets, requires continuous improvement in shrimp pond productivity. However, production performance at the farm level remains suboptimal due to limitations in operational management, particularly in feeding systems that are still largely carried out manually. This condition highlights the need for technological adoption to support more optimal production performance in shrimp farming. This study aims to examine efforts to increase the productivity of intensively cultivated whiteleg shrimp brackish ponds (Litopenaeus vannamei) owned by PT Mina Balong Berkah through the use of shrimp feeders, a device that can automatically provide feed. The study was conducted using qualitative and simple quantitative to compare shrimp production performance, water quality, and farmer experience from ponds using shrimp feeders with ponds where feeding is done manually. The results obtained showed that the production performance of ponds using shrimp feeders was higher than that of ponds where feeding was done manually. Average Daily Growth (ADG) of shrimp feeder ponds was 0.2 and 0.22 g/day, while manual ponds were 0.18 and 0.19 g/day. Average Body Weight (ABW) of shrimp feeder ponds was 15.84 and 14.39g/head, while manual ponds were 13.44 and 14 g/head. Survival Rate(SR) of shrimp feeder ponds was 78.1 and 84.2%, while manual ponds were 69.9 and 72.3%. The Feed Conversion Ratio(FCR) of shrimp feeder ponds was 1.48 and 1.6, while that of manual ponds was 1.71 and 1.79. The productivity of shrimp feeder ponds was 36.58 and 38.21 tons/ha, respectively, while that of manual ponds was 30.59 and 31.94 tons/ha. Based on these results, shrimp feeders have the potential to be used as a support for increasing shrimp cultivation intensification in Indonesia.
