1. Please what sort of Fish Meal are you referring to? Is it foreign type e.g Danish that cost close to N30,000 for 50kg or the local Fishmeal that cost half of the foreign one for the same 50kg.

2. What are the additional secret of enhancing the quality of local fishmeal to attain similar crude protein as foreign Fishmeal?

3. What are/is the attractant/s that will increase the palatability of locally made feed?

4. W|hat best time to feed that will guarantee maximum FCR

5. If FCR =1.0, that means to attain 1kg of fish will require 1.2kg of feed or thereabout(having factored feed wastage into the calculation),
a. What shortest month will it require for a fish to consume 1.2kg of feed?
b. How can one manipulate feeding to ensure a fish consume 1.2kg of feed in less than 4months and still maintain FCR of 1.0
c. Is it possible to you to bring the cost of 1.2kg of local feed to N150 presently, and still maintain FCR of 1.0 - 1.2. If yes, give a formula that
can guarantee this

Please dont be offended if you are not comfortable with any of my question because your idea and experience with other professors on this thread is enough for us to design a workable feed formulation template that is cost effective and reduce to the barest minimum importation of any form of feed ingredient in the production of feed.

I look forward to your quick and reliable opinion

We recently purchased two hatchery water heater and rechargeable 14 air-stone for constant aeration, in case of power failure.
Our Hatchery will be well equipped for producing quality seeds..




Men are currently working on site, digging up the nursery ponds. We will be constructing 60 earthen ponds to accommodate all the fries conveniently and enough space to separate the fast growing ones and runts fed to the brood-stock. we are sure of getting the best seeds..

More update soonest

Common salt can be very helpful in this situation. Drain your water add fresh water to 1 feet .. take a handful of salt and to the water leave for some like 30 minutes, raise the water to normal level.. keep us updated.
