Shrimp farm calculator — production, feed and aeration load.
Size a shrimp project from pond area, stocking density, survival and harvest weight: production per cycle and per year, post-larvae required, feed and installed aeration. Planning-grade estimates for scoping supplier quotes.

How to read this result
Based on: Number of ponds 10 · Water area per pond 5000 m² · Stocking density 60 PL/m² · Expected survival 75 % · Target harvest weight 20 g · Cycles per year 2.5 · Feed conversion ratio 1.5 kg/kg · Installed aeration 25 kW per tonne biomass
Important: This is a preliminary planning result derived from the values you entered, intended for early project scoping and RFQ preparation — not for final engineering or husbandry design.

What does this poultry calculator estimate?
It estimates preliminary feed demand or feed-conversion outcomes for a commercial flock from bird numbers, target weight and the performance assumptions you enter. Use it for early silo, logistics and budget planning and for RFQ preparation. Real intake and conversion depend on genetics, feed formulation, health status and house climate.
What can change the result?
- Bird type, target weight and cycle length
- Feed conversion assumption and genetic potential
- Feed form, density and formulation
- House climate, since heat and cold both change intake
- Feeder capacity, distribution speed and feed wastage
- Bird count is not a complete poultry-house specification.
- Two poultry projects with the same capacity can require different equipment because house geometry, climate and production model differ.
