KCoker: Sir you are on point and that is why there is a need to rather be a BUSINESS FISH FARMER rather than be an EXPERT IN FISH FARMER. A business fishfarmer knows in and out of his farm operations as well as micro and macro economics indices that affect his occupation while an expert fishfarmer only rely on his expertise and experience in the business to succeed. Many Nigerians most especially fish farmers do not expect what is hitting us. Presently as i speak to you there are no 0.2mm, 0.5mm and 0.8mm coppens and other popular foreign feed in Abuja and it has been like that for the past one month. You said there is need to store up feed and you think that is the solution? No! That will only lead to artifical increament in the price of ingredients. And dont forget that the quality of the ingredients will reduce after a long time. I think the only way out is for individual farmer to start producting his/her feed at least from 0.8mm and above. I have started my experiment already on 0.8mm, 1-2mm and will unveil after the completion of the process. We have come to a time in national live when things are no longer going to be the same again. Dear fishfarmer we all have to rise to the occasion in order to salvage our investment. I was lucky enough to discover on time that we can no longer depend on gasoline/petrol generator for our business because of its price volatility and scarcity of the product. We can no longer depend on imported feed to make meaningful success in fishfarm. This is because fish business is fragile and require a running system that must not collapse and i have found my solution in 3-in-1 GPP Diesel Engine. Today, i mill my feed anytime i like and pump water using 3 in 1 GPP that uses Diesel. I urge eminent farmers on this forum to rise to this challenges. We have to call the bluff yeye imported feed that are increasing their product on daily basis. 1 Like |

ohuegbeair: Too much of everything isn't good. Moderate salt won't kill them as the quantity of the water will override the killing effect of the salt |

partytime16:both lucrative,higher risk in poultry,but not always the case. Catfish farming doesn't need attention as poultry,but they both need good observation. Revenue from catfish is periodical whereas if layers daily. Broilers & cockerel is also periodical 1 Like |

@ Bily - I noticed that the qty(per day) of feed specified in the excel is twice what was proposed in coppen's feeding table. Is this because you feed twice a day? bily: |

With the high cost in foreign/local feed, I intend formulating my own feed. Please, where can I get a very good crusher, mixer, pelletizing machine. Cost for each should be included. Thanks |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by KCoker(m): 4:04pm On Jul 22, 2016 |
godwinufi68: Hello Godwinufi68, Perhaps i could share my experience with my breeder. I needed fingerlins, and my breeder said the fishes he had would not be ideal for surface tank farmers like me. I pressured him to sell 200pcs of his so-called 'Poor growing batch to me' to see if i could get d best out of them - also to test if the breeder wanted post me. Below are my facts: Pick-up date - 01/02/15 'Execution date' - 10/5/2015 Duration - 3mnths 9days fingerlin Qty - 200pcs Feed consumed - 4bags of Vital 2mm (60kg/ N16,800) Water quality - Daily change Total qty/weight as at 10/5/15 - 170pcs/ 21.7kg/ N7,595 Overall assessment of growth - Poor (Pure waste of time and resources) This doesn't necessarily apply to your situation, but watch the growth of your fingerlins and don't pray they get to your desired size on time. Cut your losses by disposing them if their growth is below expectation. |

Please does anyone know the ideal number of juveniles I need to stock in a 20ft by 40ft Earthen pond to achieve a weight of 1.5kg in 4 months. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 2:52pm On Jul 23, 2016 |
MAAF:I can give you what you could stock, but the question will be how reliable is the juvenile or parent stock that will guarantee that target weight? |
