The nutrient content of the shrimp head includes: 31.41% protein, 6.62% fat, 5.59% crude fiber, 3.75Kcal/g energy. Use of shrimp waste heads in feed formulation on protein retention and energy retention in catfish fry. The research was conducted in July – September 2023 in Halimaung Jaya Village located in the father's catfish pond cultivation.
