The commercial farming of P. monodon in Malaysia was initiated in late 70s. Even so,
nutritional requirements of P. monodon for growth, survival and colour enhancement
show a knowledge gap for sufficient diet due to lack of evidence and diseases caused by
genus Vibrio. The existed commercial feeds using conventional methods by farmers might
be reliable however, are costly to fulfil P. monodon daily feed routine. This project was
conducted to create a linear programming as to minimize the cost and time consumption
as well as to provide sufficient nutrients in P. monodon feed with the help of Advanced
Interactive Multidimensional Modelling System (AIMMS). The results obtained consist of
combination of different ingredients and supplements which contain essential and
sufficient nutrients for P. monodon. The formulation produced is beneficial to shrimp
farmers by providing cheaper and improved shrimp feed to overcome the existence
problems regarding P. monodon farming.
