Shrimp and Poultry Feed Equipment in Indonesia

Direct answer
FeedMatch Group helps commercial feed projects in Indonesia request and compare supplier options for shrimp and poultry feed equipment. FeedMatch is an independent project sourcing and RFQ platform, not a feed producer, manufacturer or EPC contractor. Each request is reviewed before suitable suppliers or project partners are approached.
Indonesia market context
Indonesia combines a very large poultry industry on Java with major shrimp production in Lampung, East Java and Sulawesi, and both sectors are consolidating around larger feed producers.
Island geography makes distribution cost and regional plant placement a real part of the investment case.
Modernisation projects — automation, energy efficiency and capacity debottlenecking — are as common as greenfield plants.
Imported soybean meal and local corn create a formulation environment where micro-dosing accuracy and enzyme use matter.
Main feed project types
- Poultry feed mill modernisation and capacity increase
- Shrimp feed line with micro-pellet capability
- Regional plant to reduce inter-island distribution cost
- Automation and batching upgrade
- Energy efficiency and boiler upgrade
- Premix and additive dosing installation
What project owners usually need
- Tonnage split between poultry and shrimp feed
- Modernisation without long production stoppages
- Automation compatible with existing plant control
- Energy cost reduction per tonne
- Local service and Bahasa Indonesia training
- Feed quality consistency across regions
Equipment categories
| Category | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Intake and cleaning | Port and local intake with cleaning and magnetic protection. |
| Grinding | Hammer mills for poultry mash and fine grinding for shrimp feed. |
| Batching and micro-dosing | Multi-scale batching with additive accuracy. |
| Pellet line | Conditioning, pelleting, cooling and crumbling for broiler and layer feed. |
| Shrimp feed line | Fine grinding, pelleting or extrusion, drying and coating. |
| Boiler and utilities | Steam capacity for conditioning and extrusion. |
| Automation | Recipe control, batch records and performance reporting. |
What affects CAPEX
- Scope of modernisation versus new build
- Extrusion or shrimp line addition
- Automation and control system integration
- Boiler and utility upgrades
- Civil works and site constraints
- Import duty and inter-island logistics
- Storage capacity
What affects OPEX
- Energy and steam cost per tonne
- Imported soybean meal and local corn cost
- Wear parts and maintenance
- Labour and shift structure
- Packaging
- Inter-island distribution
How feed quality affects FCR and farm economics
Feed cost is the largest single cost in most poultry and aquaculture operations, so a small change in feed conversion moves farm profitability more than most equipment savings. The process variables below are what actually determine whether a plant produces feed that performs on farm.
- Particle size control by species
- Conditioning and pellet durability for poultry feed
- Water stability for shrimp feed
- Micro-dosing accuracy for enzymes and additives
- Moisture control in a humid climate
- Consistency across multiple plants
What affects supplier selection
- Indonesian references and service network
- Ability to phase work around running production
- Control system integration experience
- Bahasa Indonesia documentation and training
- Spare parts stocked in-region
- Guarantees on the buyer's own formulas
Who supplies the equipment?
Equipment is supplied by independent process suppliers, system integrators and engineering contractors — never by FeedMatch. Depending on scope, a project may involve a single process supplier, several specialists (grinding, extrusion, automation, storage) or a turnkey integrator. FeedMatch reviews the brief and then approaches the suppliers or project partners that fit the technical and commercial requirement.
What details are needed before suppliers can quote?
- Species, feed types and tonnage split
- Existing equipment and control system details
- Target t/h and shifts
- Pellet sizes and water stability targets
- Utility capacity — steam, power, compressed air
- Automation and reporting requirements
- Budget range and timeline
The FeedMatch RFQ process
- 1You submit a commercial project brief with species, feed types, capacity and site conditions.
- 2David and the FeedMatch team review the brief and clarify technical and commercial gaps with you.
- 3FeedMatch structures a comparable RFQ package so every supplier answers the same scope.
- 4Suitable suppliers, integrators or project partners are approached — only after the review.
- 5Responses are compared on scope, capacity guarantees, service, documentation and total cost.
- 6You continue directly with the supplier you choose; FeedMatch stays supplier-neutral throughout.
Why FeedMatch reviews the brief first
Unreviewed enquiries produce non-comparable quotations: different capacities, different formula assumptions, different battery limits and different scope splits. Reviewing the brief first fixes the technical baseline, so quotations can be compared on the same basis and suppliers spend their engineering time on a real project.
What makes a feed project quote-ready?
- ✓Species, feed types and pellet sizes confirmed
- ✓Target capacity in tonnes per hour and shift plan agreed
- ✓Formula ranges (protein, fat, fibre) available for the supplier
- ✓Site utilities documented: power, steam, water, compressed air
- ✓Civil status and available footprint confirmed
- ✓Storage days required for raw materials and finished feed
- ✓Automation and traceability level defined
- ✓Budget range and approval route defined
- ✓Target commissioning date and any shutdown windows agreed
- ✓Decision makers and technical contacts identified
What may block or delay supplier quotes?
- Production loss during modernisation
- Integration issues with legacy control systems
- Humidity affecting finished-feed quality
- Inter-island logistics cost and delay
- Shrimp disease cycles affecting demand
- Steam capacity limiting throughput

Feed specification library
Define the spec before comparing offers
Composition, feed conversion ratio, pellet quality and the extrusion-versus-pelleting decision — the four parameters every quotation in this market is priced against.
- Feed composition: how to write a feed specificationThe nutrient, ingredient, physical and compliance lines a supplier needs before any price is meaningful.
- Feed conversion ratio: what to specify and verifyWhy FCR belongs in the commercial comparison, how it is measured honestly, and what a supplier can and cannot promise.
- Pellet quality: PDI, durability, hardness and finesThe physical quality clauses that decide how much of the feed you paid for actually reaches the animal.
- Extrusion vs pelleting: which process fits your specA neutral comparison of the two dominant processes, and how the choice changes cost, capacity and product behaviour.

FeedMatch Group is an independent animal feed project sourcing and RFQ platform. We do not produce feed, manufacture equipment, operate farms, provide regulated finance, or connect buyers directly to suppliers through an unmanaged marketplace. Supplier outreach happens only after a commercial project brief is reviewed.
