MALAYSIA AQUACULTURE MARKET

Malaysia’s aquaculture is rapidly advancing, with growing demand for aquatic feed as farming capacity rises. Shrimp, tilapia, and bass are key farmed species, driving market expansion. Aquatic feed makes up about 25% of the compound feed market, with increasing segmentation—extruded pellets for freshwater fish like tilapia and catfish, and specialized formulas for premium shrimp.

Yet, challenges persist, especially in feed.

Intensive farming risks water quality and disease, requiring high-quality feed. Costs fluctuate with fishmeal and fish oil prices, and scattered small-scale farmers complicate supply, nutrition, and quality control.

Looking ahead, large-scale, modernized aquaculture will boost feed demand.

High-performance, eco-friendly feed—using plant proteins to replace some fishmeal—will dominate, balancing cost and sustainability. Multifunctional feed lines and smart equipment enable easy switching between feed types, enhancing efficiency and convenience.

CLIENT PROJECT DETAILS

The client for this project is an emerging feed company in Malaysia. Initially, they planned to build a factory focusing on aquatic feed, mainly serving tilapia, catfish, grouper, and shrimp farmers. Preliminary research showed that there was a shortage of high-quality aquatic feed locally, so the client decided to invest in a fish and shrimp feed production line with a capacity of 3 tons per hour.

Although aquatic feed was their core business, Malaysia’s poultry farming industry (especially broiler chickens and egg-laying ducks) was also large, with a strong demand for cost-effective, nutritionally balanced pelleted feed. Our engineers promptly suggested that, based on the same core pelletizing system, we could use modular design to flexibly produce 1-5mm chicken and duck feed without needing additional separate production lines.

Our sales manager also shared successful cases of multifunctional production lines we had delivered in Southeast Asia and other regions (such as Uzbekistan and Argentina), showing the client practical results.

After comprehensive evaluation of return on investment, market potential, and equipment flexibility, the client ultimately adopted our suggestion. They added a dedicated set of poultry feed pelletizing equipment to their original aquatic feed production line, forming a composite, multifunctional feed production line.

This multifunctional feed production line can meet both aquatic and poultry feed production needs: aquatic feed pellets range from 1-8mm, available in sinking or floating types, suitable for tilapia, catfish, grouper, and shrimp; poultry feed pellets are 1-5mm, designed with high density to meet the nutritional requirements of broiler chickens and egg-laying ducks at different growth stages.

CUSTOM-TAILORED SOLUTION

No two clients have exactly the same aquaculture feed production needs. In the aquaculture industry, different aquaculture species and fish growth stages have different requirements for feed pellet size and nutritional composition.

RICHI always puts the real needs of customers first. Before providing a feed production solution, our engineers conducted a detailed consultation with the client:

Besides tilapia, catfish, grouper, and shrimp, do you have plans to produce other aquatic species?

Are there any special requirements for poultry feed pellet density, size, or formula (e.g., 1–5mm, high-density, etc.)?

What raw materials are you mainly planning to use? Do you have a preference for localized ingredients, such as making full use of palm by-products or local grains?

Are there any specific restrictions on the factory’s land area, energy consumption, or equipment layout?

Based on this information, we design a more tailored solution for the client, ensuring that aquatic feed pellet and poultry feed pellet equipment configuration and process design are fully aligned with clients’ specific needs, helping them resolve operational challenges.

As requested by this customer from Malaysia, the equipment configuration of this 3 ton/hour fish/shrimp feed factory and 1 ton/hour chicken/duck feed factory is very complete.

The final fish and shrimp feed mill includes the following sections:

Pre-processing System

Crushing System

Mixing System

Extrusion System

Drying System

Spraying System

Cooling System

Packaging System

Pre-processing System

Raw materials are received, cleaned, de-contaminated, and pre-sorted to ensure they enter the next stage free of impurities, metal contaminants, or clumps.
The system is equipped with magnetic separators, vibrating screens, and temporary storage bins, enabling simultaneous handling of multiple ingredients.

Crushing System

High-efficiency hammer mills grind coarse materials into the desired fineness, while a pulse-dust removal device controls dust emissions for eco-friendly and safe operation.

Mixing System

Main ingredients, additives, and premixes (e.g., vitamins, minerals, enzymes) are thoroughly blended here. Batch accuracy is tightly controlled, and formula switches can be completed rapidly.

Extrusion System

The core process uses a twin-screw extruder for aquatic feed, applying high temperature, pressure, and shear forces to cook, gelatinize, and shape the material.
A quick-change die head allows fast adjustment of pellet specifications.

Drying System

Hot air gently and uniformly dries the extruded moist pellets, preventing cracking or nutrient loss.
Zone-controlled temperature and airflow ensure energy efficiency while meeting low-moisture storage standards for aquatic feed.

Spraying System

Oils, antioxidants, or flavorings are evenly sprayed onto dried pellets to boost energy density, palatability, and stability.
Metering pumps and atomizing nozzles deliver precise, waste-minimized coating.

Cooling System

Pellets are rapidly cooled to near-ambient temperature to prevent oil oxidation, mold, or breakage.
Cooling duration and air volume are adjustable.

Packaging System

Fully automated packaging integrates weighing, sewing, and palletizing. Supports standard bags (25kg, 40kg) or ton bags.
Includes electronic scales, auto-sewing machines, metal detectors, and coding devices to ensure traceability, contamination prevention, and compliance with Malaysian feed labeling regulations.

To produce chicken and duck feed, we just added a channel beside the extruder—connected to the mixing system at the front and the drying system at the back. This allows for a seamless process from raw material handling, pelletizing, drying, cooling, screening, and packaging.

The chicken and duck feed factory includes the following sections:

Pre-processing System

Crushing System

Mixing System

Pelletizing System

Drying System

Cooling System

Packaging System

Pelletizing System

The mixed raw materials are heated, compressed, and shaped into pellets of different specifications.
This process determines the shape and density of the pellets, while also ensuring even distribution of nutrients.

malaysia FISH/shrimp FEED & chicken/duck feed factory CONFIGURATION

For the 3 ton/hour fish/shrimp feed and 1 ton/hour poultry(chicken/duck) feed construction project in Malaysia, all equipment on the multifunctional feed production line was independently developed and manufactured by RICHI Machinery. We offer quality guarantees and lifetime after-sales service.

The equipment used in this project includes a cylindrical primary cleaning screen, a hammer mill, a single shaft paddle mixer, a twin screw extruder, a mesh belt dryer, a vaccum sprayer, a stainless steel cooler and a fully automatic packaging machine. These are needed to produce fish and shrimp feed.

Since it is a multifunctional production line, no separate additional production lines need to be built for producing chicken and duck feed. In the pelletizing section, we have reserved dedicated channels and connected them to an animal feed pelletizer. When there’s a need to switch between different types of feed, this can be done simply by using a switch.
