Abstract
Feeding on shrimp culture is important to the shrimp growth process so that the expected yields are achieved. Feeding must be balanced and timely, there are no advantages or disadvantages in feeding because all the feed provided is not necessarily completely consumed by shrimp, therefore it is necessary to have technology that can control shrimp feeding. Automatic shrimp feed technology can be a solution to the problem of feeding to support the productivity of shrimp culture. Automatic shrimp feeder is built using an arduino microcontroller module, RTC module (Real Time Clock), and feed throwing system. The shrimp feeding method with the working principle of shrimp feeder is shrimp feed thrown horizontally due to centrifugal force. With the influence of the centrifugal force from the propeller spreader, the feed will be thrown throughout the surface of the pond. Feeding is controlled using Arduino by setting the time. Shrimp feeding is done every 4 hours and the appliance is on for 7 minutes to spread 10 kg of feed for the number of shrimps 1,500 and the width of kolan 400 m2 with a minimum throwing distance of feed 1 meter and a maximum of 7 meters.
