OPERATIONAL REALITY
Precision Pond Management
Without the Chaos
How standardizing feed & nutrition management protects pond biomass, feed efficiency, and crop margins.
The Operational Challenge
Feed is 60% of farm costs—yet managed on guesswork
Feed represents 50% to 70% of total production cost in commercial vannamei ponds. Most farms still rely on scattered paper pond logs, inaccurate feed tray interpretations, and untracked warehouse bags. Overfeeding pollutes pond bottoms, creates toxic ammonia spikes, and destroys profit margins; underfeeding stunts growth, reduces survival, and delays harvest timing.
The Shrimply Solution
Connected feed control from warehouse to pond tray
Shrimply centralizes daily feeding records, automatic inventory deductions, biomass-adjusted feeding rate calculations, and feed tray clearance scoring in one connected system. Field technicians log meals quickly at the pond edge, while managers and owners monitor cumulative FCR and warehouse balances in real time.
CORE CAPABILITIES
Engineered for Precision.
Built for Farm Teams.
Real-time tools designed specifically for intensive and semi-intensive vannamei farm operations.
Standardized tray clearance scoring
Record feed tray consumption across morning, midday, and evening checks using a 1–5 scoring system to catch appetite drops before water quality crashes.
Real-time FCR & Feed Index calculations
Calculate cumulative and period Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and daily feed index against verified biomass so you know your true feed efficiency.
Biomass-adjusted feeding rate tables
Adjust daily feed allocations dynamically as shrimp grow, factoring in water temperature, mean body weight (MBW), and days of culture (DOC).
Appetite & water quality correlation
View feed response alongside pre-dawn DO, water temperature, and pH trends to distinguish environmental sluggishness from disease onset.
Pond-by-pond feed cost analytics
Track feed cost per kg of shrimp produced and total feed expenditure per pond cycle to protect farm operating cash flow and profitability.
FARM WORKFLOW
How Teams Run This
Day to Day
A repeatable operating cadence connecting technicians in the field with managers in the office.
01
Set Daily Feeding Rations
Calculate target daily feed from the latest sampling MBW, estimated pond biomass, water temperature, and feeding rate guidelines.
STEP 0102
Log Feeding & Tray Checks
Technicians record meal amounts and tray clearance 2–2.5 hours post-feeding directly into the Shrimply mobile app at the pond edge.
STEP 0203
Auto-Deduct Warehouse Inventory
Logged feed amounts automatically deduct stock from the designated feed brand, formula, and lot in Shrimply's inventory system.
STEP 0304
Review FCR & Feed Alerts
Managers review feed efficiency curves, spot ponds with rising FCR or uneaten feed, and calibrate next day rations with Orson AI assistance.
STEP 04AQUACULTURE INTELLIGENCE
Context before action.
Powered by Orson AI.
Orson connects your daily feed & nutrition management records with water quality history, feeding trends, and sampling records to explain performance across every pond.

OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST
What this software helps your farm control
- Calibrate daily feed allocations from verified sampling MBW and biomass rather than fixed calendar tables.
- Standardize feed tray check timing (typically 2 to 2.5 hours post-feeding) across all technician shifts.
- Record unconsumed feed and hold feed increases whenever dissolved oxygen drops below 4.0 mg/L.
- Track feed lot numbers and manufacturing dates to rotate stock using first-in, first-out (FIFO).
- Cross-reference feed appetite drops with water temperature swings and dissolved oxygen records.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
About Feed & Nutrition Management
Practical answers for shrimp farm operators and production managers.
How does Shrimply calculate Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)?
Cumulative FCR is calculated as total feed fed (kg) divided by net shrimp biomass gain (current biomass + mortality/harvests - initial stocking biomass). Shrimply updates this automatically as feed logs and sampling records are entered.
Does feeding activity automatically deduct inventory?
Yes. Unlike sampling records, feeding logs link to specific feed inventory items and atomic transactions deduct stock levels so warehouse balances stay synchronized.
Can technicians log feeding offline?
Yes. Shrimply mobile works offline at the pond edge and syncs all feeding logs and tray observations as soon as an internet connection is available.
How does Shrimply prevent overfeeding?
Shrimply combines feeding rate limits (% of biomass), tray consumption history, and water quality alerts (e.g. low DO or high ammonia) to flag unsafe feed increases before feed is thrown into the pond.
