Why do fish farmers favor floating fish feed pellets?

In the aquaculture industry, an increasing number of fish farmers are opting to use floating fish feed pellets for feeding their fish. This is not only because floating fish food is easier to manage and observe, but also closely related to feed conversion rate and cost control.

In this article, we will analyze the reasons why fish farmers prefer floating pellets based on actual farming needs.

Observe the feeding situation more intuitively

Floating fish feed pellets can be easily seen on the water surface, allowing fish farmers to clearly observe the feeding response and quantity of fish, and judge whether the feeding is sufficient or excessive. This visual management effectively avoids feed wastage and also enables timely detection of abnormalities in the fish population.

Improve feed utilization and reduce pollution

Floating pellets remain in the water for a longer period of time, do not easily sink to the bottom and rot, and can be fully ingested by fish, which improves the conversion rate of feed. Compared with sinking pellets, floating fish feed pellets can reduce water pollution and lower the burden of pond management.

More suitable for common freshwater fish species

Freshwater species such as catfish, tilapia, grass carp, etc., are used to feeding in the upper or middle layer of the water column, and the floating pellets are exactly in line with their feeding habits. This natural adaptation makes floating feed pellets the preferred choice for most freshwater farms.

Floating fish feed pellets production easily with fish feed machines

Uniform, floating fish food pellets can be easily produced with Taizy’s fish food pellet machines. Farmers can choose the right molds and ingredient ratios according to fish species, specifications and nutritional requirements. They can control feed quality independently and save long-term purchasing costs.

Conclusion

Floating fish feed pellets not only make feeding management more accurate, but also optimize feed utilization and water quality control. It becomes an ideal choice for fish farmers!
