excelsiorfarm:. Hello house, am not here to dent anybody's image or business. All am trying to say is please and please, try and check what ever anybody is trying to sell to u on this forum or any Wattsup group to avoid waste of ur hard earned money. Like I said earlier, if its feed u are buying, buy little and take it to a lab for test to know the composition of the feed. Especially those that are selling local feed on this forum. Most of dem, mark my words, most of them just lie to about the protein content and sell u rubbish and at d end of the day, opt out of fish business, saying it doesn't pay. Pls we should do the needful and stop being lazy cos fish farming is not a lazy man's business. 1 Like |

stonedigital:good u wrote what happened(part,which is ok).Anyone doing animal production will/should understand that whatever u feed your animals would determine end result. Garbage in Garbage out.If fish seeds are good & u give junk as feed,performance will be poor,don't blame breeder. |

stonedigital:I think there is more to this than what u have said. Well, if u decide to keep quite and not be specific no p. Its ur choice. As much as there are credible farmers, consultants and products around it pains d heart that a lot of people and products indeed lack integrity. This lack of integrity issue is d difference between most of our local feeds and d so called foreign feeds. My advice, if u cannot professionally prepare ur own feed which might not be cheap too to be honest, use any of d available feeds that have stood d test of time and with intergrity too. Its not about d numbers u stock, its about how well u can manage it. So stock only what u can adequately cater for instead of seeking cheap alternatives promising u high cp but a scam. Don't worry tho prosperity will surely judge all those scammers! |

fzero: Hello friend, I feel ur plight, and believe it or not am only trying to warn innocent farmers that buy feeds(especially the local) about the composition of the feed they are buying and giving to their fish. I went to Agege and was surprise that a member of this forum is only using PKC, maize flower, blood meal and wheat offal to produce a feed that they sell to innocent souls. I mean, can u buy such combination for 220per kg and give to your fish?. If not, the least I would ve expected from u is to encourage young farmers to do the right thing and ensure whatever feed they are to use should be tested to avoid losses 2 Likes |

Please house, I am a first timer in fish farming. I have been making use of Coppens. And so far, my fish have been doing great. I bought some local feeds on this thread (Name withheld), but I'm scared of administering it to my fish. I don't want to tell stories that touch. The neutral persons (4 of them in number) that have used this same feed told me emphatically that they did not observe any impact on their fish as claimed by the producers, marketers and promoters of the said feed. The only persons who have told me good stories about this feed are the distributors, and you know their opinions cannot be unbiased. Is there anyone who has bought and used any of the local feeds advertised on this thread, please come and share your experiences with us. Neutral persons please. 1 Like |

I'm aware that using Coppens through-out will not give me any profit. So I intend to switch to local after 2 months. fzero: |

fzero:a foreign feed does not necessary mean d feed is better.Some are just names.A foreign feed distributor that i once questioned why there's another new variation in their feed CP,he said "so there could be price difference".i won't mention d feed type,but it is a foreign feed. 1 Like |

stonedigital:aside composition,the environment wherein your fishes grow play a key role in d effectiveness of whatever feed type u use.Just to point those out.Also d additive added enhances d release or conversion of nutrient to the fishes.Many things are involved in feed production,though i won't condemn or applaud any.Lets be sincere in our dealing. 1 Like |

fzero:pls let those that had use the feed in question speak out, not every silence is ok.Silence is not golden when the truth is meant to be told. Indeed not everyone appreciates success & progress of others.I had seen it on this thread B4,but d culprits faded away(though this isn't to support your assumption).No wise man rise by pulling others down. Therefore let them do abit of clarification for many would be expecting it for re assurance. 1 Like |

dislike hypocrisy and let's get the fact right (1) fishmeal remain the most essential ingredient why (2).blood meal remain the highest ingredient in crew protein. (3) other animal with high crew protein such hydrolys feather meal that are major animal protein meal that are common in our environment 4) unfortunately the inclusion of blood meal in feed production is not allow in so many country as a result of the problem of mad disease were, it is allowed 13.4 percent inclusion as been scientifically recommended in the production of feed also, catfish can only utilise about 65% and its inclusion in feed production should not exceed 20% in feed production. with these statement of fact quality feed can only be achieve with some percentage of fish meal. and for one to achieve 50% C.P at least 25% fish meal will be required in feed production. With these my submission 60% C.P cannot be achieved with #220. 2 Likes |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 12:18am On Apr 27, 2016 |
Hebraham:there is a difference in giving want we know and what is googled/obtainable. Have Nigeria stopped use of blood meal in feed production? we are in Nigeria and there is no agency regulating what any one decides to put in his/her feed. That is why I ask you to post it here(fish thread) when you posted it on my business thread because I don't believe in secrecy when vital issues or trust needs to be given and I don't keep pals too. I still await the producers of this feed in question to justify themselves because keeping quiet will only ruin their initiative. possibly they could educate all on what or how they were able to achieve their feat. 4 Likes |
