Feed spoilage in aquaculture is commonly caused by factors such as high moisture content, microbial contamination, exposure to heat and humidity, and poor storage practices; these issues can be effectively mitigated through proper drying.

Moisture – Wet or humid conditions promote mold growth. Keep feed dry and store in ventilated areas.

Poor storage – Leaky silos or open bags invite pests. Seal storage properly and use pallets.

Dirty equipment – Old feed buildup can spoil fresh batches. Clean mixers, bins, and conveyors regularly.

Delayed usage – Feed sitting too long loses quality. Follow FIFO (First In, First Out) system.

Contaminated raw materials – Spoiled grains spoil the whole batch. Inspect and test all incoming materials.

Preventing spoilage starts with clean, dry storage and smart handling every step of the way.

Several factors contribute to food spoilage which includes :

• Growth of Microorganisms. Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and yeast are the primary culprits.
• Improper Storage.
• Improper Harvesting and Processing.

common causes of feed spoilage are microbial activities such a mold, yeast and bacterial, enzyme activities, physiological factors like temperature fluctuations and moisture . Controlling spoilage involves proper storage, packaging and preservations techniques.
