Hi House,

I have a little concern with my stock. They don't hussle/rush for feed like they used to. They respond to feed as if they almost satiated, the heads hardly visible outside the water.

I noticed this change in behaviour after a heavy downpour .....

Does anyone know what could be the issue

Two ponds each measuring 20x6x4 ft. How many fishes can I stock in each pond? Considering the fact that the ponds are shaded from direct sunlight

GOLDLOVER:
could you plz state the quantity of salt in grams

Hello bro, the feed millers in agege usually prefer the wet blood meal for convenience sake. Except of course you can provide the dry blood meal which is also available at agege as well. However, if you want to use the wet blood meal, you need to include at least 2 bucket/1000kg. if you need the dry blood meal, just go across the road, look beside the estate, you will see a place where goats and rams are being sold, walk down the road and you will see blood meal been processed from wet to dry. The name of the dealer is mr lawal if I’m not mistaken. For 1000kg feed, the recommended inclusion of blood meal is between 5% -6%. It cost between 100/kg to 120/kg. I hope this helps? Regards.

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.

godwinufi68:
Amen oooo sir, thats my only prayer 4 this production.

Merci beaucoup Mr Pumpie, By your analysis it appears 1 bucket will be too much for 100kg of feed. Is there any implication of increasing the % of blood meal from 5%-6% to say 25%?

pumppie:
hello bro, yes 1 bucket is too much for 100kg. they will usually collect money for 1 bucket from you, so dont bother about that. u must understand that even though CP content is high in Blood meal, it has a poor amino acid balance. for e.g it is low in methionine. and also, note that blood meal is not palatable and can cause water pollution if included at a high volume. this is why its inclusion has been limited of some sort and u have regulations guiding its use in some countries. if u can manage with some of its deficiencies, it is an excellent source of protein. i hope this helps?

regards

yomiknows:
Yes, thanks for the insight.

Good morning fellow nairalanders and esteemed members of the catfish farming society. I humbly make my introduction as a person with immense interest in this field but lacking the capabilities needed to perform this business. I have gained more information from genuine people such as yourselves by reading this thread than through months of Internet research full of scammers, sweet mouths and unimaginable promises. God will bless all of you in this room and God will furthermore bless your hustle. I have a simple question, I am struggling to compose a business plan and I am looking for a format to follow with which I would know the more attractive way to get potential investors attention. Please can anyone advise me.
