SAU teacher invents fish food making machine

A teacher of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU) has invented a fish food making machine ‘SAU Feedmill-1.’

Md Masud Rana, assistant professor of the Faculty of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Marine Science, invented the machine using local technology which will reduce the cost of food in fish farming.  This new invention will also help farmers to produce fish foods as per the need of their fishing farms.

About the invention of ‘SAU Feedmill-1,’ Masud Rana said it took about one-and-a-half year to make the machine.

He said the machine will play an important role for fish farmers in reducing the fish food cost and ease food supplies.

“Safe fish feed is required for safe fish production, which is the demand of this time. As the farmers will collect the raw material of the fish food and produce the food themselves so the fish produced after using that food will also be safe,” said the SAU teacher.

Any farmer can use this technology if he wants, he said.
