Manejo del alimento balanceado peletizado a través del uso de alimentadores automáticos durante la etapa de engorde de <i>litopenaeus vannamei</i>

Abstract

The Ecuadorian shrimp industry has suffered several blows in the past due to the appearance of diseases, especially the white spot virus, however, at the same time it has had years of industrial development increasing the production capacity due to the demand for Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp, optimizing the crops and automating them, thus allowing the intensification of the production systems. The objective of this work is to focus on the technological development used for shrimp feeding at present, comparing at the same time the differences between the ones used in the beginning of the productions through the analysis of works carried out by other authors, articles and scientific reports identifying how automatic feeders allow for better feed handling.
