This medium has been serving a great deal & of help to many but let's do things decently because I (sure not to be only) can see some statement that are coloured with ulterior motives. Robonski started d tread with a good intention but if it will cont'd we must be careful. Ppl are watching us. To encourage many to partake we need to be straight forward. Feed formula above is full of abbreviation & I am finding it difficult to understand. Pls be explicit. Thank you. 1 Like |

lagbaja:Hello chairman, please you once mention a certain kind of pump when you discussed about recirculating aquaculture system and it's advantage over other methods in a 2013 post...Resun pump with capacity to pump 13,000ltrs/hr, if you recollect, please where can i get the pump,i find it appropriate for my RAS based on the low energy requirement. I have looked around Ibadan and none seem close to that. Thanks |

Hmmmm... My advice for fish farmers here dont go buying every ingredient u see in every ones formula ..i have seen people paste formula containing maize, indomie and cassava flour together.....some containing molasis and flour together ... and some containing .. palm kanel cake and cotton seed cake together...Well i want us to know that, in fish and other animal production , is all just about converting one form of protein as in feed to another form of protein as in our fish product . So we should always try to make sure the cost of feed protein is not costlier than the actual fish itself, or else, we run at a lost . there are no stories about it ... How can we use maize indome and cassava flour together ..this is wrong, cause they are all starch, i mean carbohydrate its same nutrient , they all give to your fish . Its like eating eba ,fufu , and amala they may taste different ,but , they give same starch or energy to the body so why waste money buying 3 different ingredient with same end product .As a business man or profit making fish farmer , just check out of the 3 ingredients the one that is cheapest in your loccality and use it ...They practically give the same. Important is all other factors are done well like feed quality quantity , time of feeding to get the best fcr , temperature and water quality . its same result lets not break our heads over formula lol........... What we should do is that , ,both 3 ingredients are good , so as wise fish farmer we will compare the 3 prices in our locality cause feeds varies in prices depends on, what your locality have in bulk and see which is cheapest per kg and use it. Dont just mix every ingredient in the feed mill because u see mr A doing it and so you want to do the same .One ingredient to serve a source of nutrient is ok ... so dont use molasis and flour both are good binding agent dont use pkc and cotton seed cake they are both source of oil : use only the cheapest one nutrient source at a time ..it will reduce your cost of production. Why do u think some people buy fingerlings from same source and 1 person makes profit and the other finish all his money making ambigious feed , there by finishing there profit on feed .. We replace fish meal with soya meal and other source of protein because of the high cost of fish meal but we cant replace fish meal 100 percent cause there source are different ...fish meal is animal protein while soya is plant protein .. They are not totally thesame; thats why we use both fish meal and soya meal together . Soya can reduce the use of fish meal but not totally . Its still good to leave some percentage fish meal in your feed composition... like me , if i tell you in some stage of my feed production i dont use fish meal at all but i balance the animal protein with another cheaper animal protein and i get same result .Some people will raise eye brow and ask if its possible but yes very possible, its just to add what is called an attractant, a topic for another day stay tuned i will give the continuation of my write up 10pm today GOOD LUCK ... |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by heartbitmi: 4:01pm On Oct 25, 2015 |
Hello all, I quite appreciate the good work you guys are doing on this thread. Please I urgently need assistance on my hatching journey so far. Its been so frustrating and annoying to go through the process of hatching and watch my fries die just from day 5. That has been my experience so far. I ensure that all parameters are on point. My water ph is 6.8 and I run a flow through system. I take time to syphon all dirt and feed left overs and maintain a high level of hygiene. However, I notice that my fries start to die in large quantities from day 5 till I have nothing left. Please what can be the cause and how can I resolve this issue. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by barby008: 6:42pm On Oct 25, 2015 |
heartbitmi: Exactly the same problem I had then...I was feeding them with artemia which I later found out to be fake after lots of loss..so please check your feed first...If not,it might be the weather or something... |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by heartbitmi: 7:37pm On Oct 25, 2015 |
@barby008 thanks for the response. but please what feed did you have to change to? and where u able to conquer the problem? somone also told me its probably the artemia i use. as i speak i have lost all fries and its really painful. as per weather, i am quite sure its in control. my hatchery is an indoor one. thanks |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by barby008: 8:45pm On Oct 25, 2015 |
heartbitmi: I started with coppens 0.2mm and few days ago, I recorded 18000+ fingerlings after 6 months of trial. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by atanda2001uk(m): 11:53pm On Oct 25, 2015 |
@barby008. I would have loved to buy from your fingerlings but for the distance. Currently I need about 2-3,000 fingerlings. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Shehas(m): 12:29am On Oct 26, 2015 |
kudos to all the gurus in the house. Please, I need a practical training on hatching. A place where I can learn all the pros and cons of hatching with adequate practical exposure. My preference is Ikorodu |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 2:28am On Oct 26, 2015 |
heartbitmi: Too many fake artemia in the market right now which is the major problem for the deaths.. Try using 0.2 or squeezed 0.5.. www.agricnetwork.com |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 2:34am On Oct 26, 2015 |
