PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD PNS/BAFS PABES 287:2019 ICS 65.060.99 Production Machinery – Aquaculture Feeder – Specifications BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES STANDARDS BPI Compound Visayas Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City 1101 Philippines Trunkline: (632) 928-8741 to 64 loc. 3301-3319 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.bafs.da.gov.ph  PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD PNS/BAFS PABES 287:2019 Foreword The formulation of this national standard was initiated by University of the Philippines Los Baños – Agricultural Machinery Testing and Evaluation Center (UPLB – AMTEC) through the project “Testing and Evaluation of Machinery Generated from PCAARRD- funded Projects” funded by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development – Department of Science and Technology (PCAARRD – DOST). This is in collaboration with the Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Standards (BAFS). This covers the development of PNS for Aquaculture Feeder. This Standard has been technically prepared in accordance with International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) Directives Part 2, 8th Edition - Principles and rules for the structure and drafting of ISO and IEC documents. The word “shall” is used to indicate mandatory requirements to conform to the standard. The word “should” is used to indicate that among several possibilities one is recommended as particularly suitable without mentioning or excluding others. ii  PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD PNS/BAFS PABES 287:2019 Production Machinery – Aquaculture Feeder – Specifications 1 Scope This standard specifies the fabrication and performance requirements for aquaculture feeder. 2 Normative References The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

Feeds are distributed by alternating movements, rotations, or vibrations generated by any mechanical means, or compressed air as shown in Figure 1. 4.2 Demand Feeder Feeder is controlled by the fish according to appetite. Feed discharge is actuated by the contact of the fish to the trigger connected to a plate or plug at the bottom of the hopper as shown in Figure 2. As the plate or plug moves through the movement of the trigger, small quantity of feeds is discharged.
