The young fish feeder with 24/7 monitoring In fish farming, regular, needs-based feeding of young fish is crucial for their optimal development. Until now, there has been a lack of suitable feed dosing systems with an integrated monitoring function, which can lead to problems:
If a feeder fails, for example, the young f ish are not fed, develop poorly and cannibalism occurs in the fish farm. With the innovative Opti.Breed, WEDA Dammann & Westerkamp offers a solution that eliminates these problems and improves the feeding of young fish.
Challenges of previous systems Traditional feeders often work autonomously and without centralised monitoring.
A failure is often not noticed immediately, which leads to underfeeding of the fish and uneven growth. The result: weak fish are attacked and eaten by stronger conspecifics – a phenomenon that frequently occurs in aquaculture under these conditions.
This is not only an ethical problem, but also leads to considerable economic losses. No overfeeding, no waste The Opti.Breed system enables individualised, needs-based feeding of young fish with very small quantities, controlled via a central computer.
The system monitors and regulates all feeders simultaneously, ensuring precise, even feeding of the fish. On the one hand, the fish are not overfed; on the other hand, no expensive feed is wasted by sinking to the bottom unused because the portions are distributed according to the feeding curve.
Specially developed dosing system
The centrepiece of Opti.Breed is a new dosing system developed by WEDA that has been specially designed for the precise dosing of very small amounts of feed.
The system enables the exact adjustment of the feed quantity to the needs of the young fish – from the earliest to the later growth phase. The feed quantities are individually adjusted via the feed curve, from small quantities for the youngest fish to larger quantities for growing fish.
If a feeder fails, the system operator immediately receives an error message on their PC or mobile phone so that the fault can be rectified immediately.
Less losses, more productivity
The bottom line is that Opti.Breed is an ideal solution for modern and efficient juvenile fish farming. The system guarantees needs-based feeding, minimises losses and increases productivity.
With Opti.Breed, WEDA Dammann & Westerkamp is setting new standards in aquaculture and offering f ish farmers worldwide a sustainable and forward-looking technology.
The advantages of the Opti.Breed system at a glance:- Complete control via a central computer: This ensures uniform and continuous feeding of the young f ish.- Continuous feeding as required:
The fish are fed according to their growth phase.- Feeding of very small quantities possible: Particularly important for the smallest fish in the first stages of life.- Specially developed dosing system:
Specially developed for the precise dosing of very small quantities to ensure exact feeding.- Optional weighing: Precise control of the feed quantity.- 24/7 monitoring function with alarm: Maximum safety thanks to continuous monitoring and immediate error messages.- Saves time and resources: Reduces the need for manual monitoring and saves valuable staff time and cost-intensive feed thanks to automatic feeding.- Optimum cost control: High-quality feed is extremely cost-intensive. Thanks to the central control system, feed consumption can be displayed, optimised and strategically planned- Avoidance of cannibalism: Uniform feeding minimises irregular growth and cannibalism.
Company Profile
For more than 90 years, the name of WEDA has been a byword for innovation and reliability. Founded as an enterprise for the manufacturing of wood gas generators, WEDA Dammann & Westerkamp GmbH with 150 members of staff at the Lutten head office, have meanwhile become a global market leader in the domain of liquid feeding.
In its function as a full-range provider for modern pig management apart from feeding technology and animal house equipment, WEDA also operates in the segments of ventilation technology, fish and insects.
The fish and insect feeding systems are based on the feeding technologies for pig breeding. WEDA has been developing and producing own technologies for weighing, crushing, pumping and distributing liquid and dry feed since the 1970s, and even its computer programmes based on Linux are self-developed and programmed.
With its wide dealer network, the company is represented in more than 50 countries.
