Pls someone should verify this statement, Mr Robonski said that he spent roughly 650,000 on feeding 4000 fiishes, that means to feed 10,000 should be roughly estimated at 1.7mills. We are all learning here, thanks.

Boss. I dey follow u bumper to bumper. Helping others is my joy !

Teepompey:

Oga Ab1x, it's been long we heard from you on this thread. I hope you are doing good? Pls, I would like you to come and update us on feed formulation. Also, I would love if you can give us a formula that can serve as finisher. Thanks in anticipation.

ab1x:



I am doing great my brother. There are different kind of local feed formula. Everything depends on one's pocket. Some farmers introduce maize, koko garri, broiler finisher, pkc etc in their local feed finisher. I mainly use little maize with enough biscuit in my finisher. Making 100kg, it can be fm 10, ts 15 gnc 15 maize 10 biscuit 30 flour 20 premix 0.5 salt 2 vitc 100g dcp 1 molasis 10

Lorjes:


Chairman pls don't be annoyed , this things are they all in kg,you our teacher in this thread sometimes speak in "tongues". Please Sir break them down for me and at what month can one start using it.
God bless you.

ab1x:



They are all in KG except vitc, premix that are in grams. You can start using them when they clock 4 months

This was in 2009, the price of fish feed has gone up.. we now estimate #250-#300 per fish to maturity.

BELEXYFARMS:



Infact, this is the major problem we are facing now. Cost of feeds have risen enormously, other operational costs are almost unbearable and fast growing fingerlings are rare to come by this days but the prices of fish remains almost static and unencouraging

Tbagwell1:

I think the prices of fish depends on your location and bargaining power. I still sold a friends fish last week @600 naira per kilo.

Fhemmmy:


Where is your location and are you fish sales consultant?

Tbagwell1:

Makurdi, Benue state capital. Am also a fish farmer. The friend I sold for, that was his 1st try I had to take charge of the sale to avoid stories that touch.

Please the GENERALS in the house the pictures bellow is what I noticed from my earthen pond of three weeks.
What do I do my GENERAL? The fish is not dead but has some pilling wounds like on its body.

robonski15:


This is tail and fin-rot.. Apply woodash asap before it becomes and epidemic

BELEXYFARMS:


Yeah i totally agree. Location matters alot. Just like when fish used to be N600 in PH and Abuja and it was N450 in Lagos sometime back.
In Lagos the fishes have to be really massive before u can even get them to buy at N550. Were those fishes u sold very big and was it bulk sales to market women?

Fhemmmy:


Thanks for the response... prices seems to b better out of Lagos...

Still a novice sha, so don't know much

Tbagwell1:

It bulk sales, funny enough they average weight was btw 800gram - 1kg, those weighing 1.5kg above was sold @ 1200 but it was sold to a joint lady. Their is ds woman I have that usually buys fish from ibadan evey day a bus full of fish come to her place and she sells to d market women. They very big ones #17,250 per basin and each basin contains 25kg Dats like 690 per kg.

Tbagwell1:

Apart from the location there are other factors affecting price of fish. Cost of production in lagos is relatively low as compared to those outside lagos. Secondly there are lots of fish farmers in lagos as compared to fish farmers in d south east, north central and north as a whole, demands will be high since there just few farmers. Imagine someone selling over 500kg of fish daily and from a single farm in Ibadan.

Teepompey:

Glad to hear that you are doing great. I really appreciate your selfless contribution here on this thread and God will reward you according including others numerous to mention. Pls, I will like you to explain the function of molasis. Also, there was this formula 2 you dropped here which contains broilers starter, I will like to know the essence of broilers starter in the formula and why the FM is local 20kg in 200kg?

ab1x:




Get the following items, Salt (depending on how big your pond is) you can get 15KG, Oxy; just 800 naira worth, and a lot of wood ash from any bakery. Drain the water in the pond. Mix the three stuff together and apply in the pond. Leave them for 48 hours.



Are they eating local feed formula or floating feeds? Your response will determine how to apply drugs inside their feeds.

Lorjes:


Sir, they are eating floating(Durante feed)
The infection is just on few, I have seen like two but I only succeeded in removing one out of the pond.

ab1x:



It may spread if care is not taken. Mix procaine, vitc and dcp with their feed. Put the drugs inside little water and sprinkle it in the feeds and spread inside sun to get dry and feed them after treating them

Teepompey:
The length of the fish(dutch) is impressive but I expected more body weight than what I have.Some of them are 900g, 1kg, 1.1kg. I just wish they could add weight to their present length, wow! it would have been so amazing.
Pardon me, I was referring to fatness when I said weight.
