The tiger shrimp culture in East Borneo is commonly performed using traditional pond system management. In this work, the objective was to evaluate the application of Boesenbergia pandurata and Solanum ferox extract supplemented as feed additives considering shrimp growth, survival rate, and meat quality culture in a traditional pond. There were three dietary groups that were stocked with 300 shrimp in this study. The shrimp were maintained in a pond, separated with a 3 × 3 m² net. The dietary treatment applied was divided into three types, namely P1, without the extracts; P2, 20 mL kg⁻¹ dietary supplementation; and P3, 30 mL kg⁻¹ dietary supplementation in the diet. The findings revealed that the herb extract influenced the growth rate, feed efficiency, survival rate, and meat quality of the shrimp, mainly the amino and fatty acid contents in the shrimp meat. The 30 mL kg⁻¹ herb extract dose in group 3 showed a higher growth performance and survival rate. In group 3, 98% of the shrimp could survive until the final study period, while 96% of shrimp survived in group 2, and 70% of the shrimp survived in group 1. These findings indicate that the phytoimmune (B. pandurata and S. ferox) extract can be utilized as a feed additive to improve the growth, survival rate, and meat quality of the shrimp.

The problem faced by fish farmers in Lingga is that the feed is quite expensive and rarely found on the local market. The existence of shrimp heads and fish bones are often found in Dabo as waste from processed shrimp crackers and fish balls that have not been utilized. The research aimed to evaluate the quality of fish feed from local fish meal, shrimp head meal and fish bone meal based on organoleptic, physical, and chemical tests. The treatments tested in this study consist of three threatments, namely: feed A (48%), feed B (35%), and feed C (comercial feed). The organoleptic showed that feed have a fibrous texture, typical coconut aroma, and brown color. The results of water stability showed that feed A (86,50 minutes±1,63), B (87,00 minutes±1,29), C (91,75 minutes±0,96) and dispersion of solids feed A (9,38% ±0,95), B (9,50%±0,71), C (8,63%±0,85). The sinking velocity showed that feed A (3,79 cm/s±0,23), B (3,32 cm/s±0,24), C (4,61 cm/s±0,18). The hardness level of feed A (91,63%±1,38), B (91,38%±2,66), C (94,63%±2,14). The proximate of feed has a moisture of 7,53% (A); 5,28% (B); 6,69% (C), ash of 19,95% (A); 17,85% (B); 12,03% (C), crude protein of 49,07% (A); 36,14% (B); 31,23% (C), crude lipid of 4,28% (A); 4,90% (B); 11,63% (C), and carbohydrate 19,19% (A); 35,84% (B); 38,43% (C). The results of physical and proximate indicated that ingredients local feedstuff have the potential as fish feed except moisture and ash.
