Abstract


Windu Shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is a fishery commodity with high economic
value. Efforts to increase productivity in tiger shrimp farming can be done by implementing efficient feed use. One of the ingredients to reduce the large feed costs in feed production is the type of caffeine compound. This study aims to analyze the best dose of caffeine added in feed for growth and efficiency of shrimp feed. The method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) experiment with 5 treatments and 3 replications. The caffeine dosage used was 0; 0.5; 1; 1.5; and 2 grams per kg of feed. This research was conducted for 35 days at the Hachery Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Tuku Umar University. The parameters observed were survival, growth, feed efficiency, and FCR as well as water quality parameters including temperature, salinity, pH, and DO. The targeted outputs are international journals, international proceedings, HKI and books with ISBN
