How to select different feed ingredients for preparing mash feed at low cost..

Hello everyone:
        We all know the inland fish production is very high compared to coastal farming. But the market price, high FCR, improper selection of ingredients, use pellet feeds, poor knowledge will leads to slow growth and reduce profit.

Best solution is here.... 
      Most of the farmers using only mash feeds in their carp ponds. Very specific regions only have good market price for carps and tilapia. 

     The other important factor for slow growth is improper protein in the selected ingredient. 
     There are many nutritional factors deficient will suppress the growth of the animal. Researchers identified in one species, which is fed with low level of (Thiamine) - vitamin  and high percent of carbohydrates source which will leads to death of fishes. 

Why it is died? 
      Because, thiamine plays an very important role in the carbohydrate metabolism. If presence of any mineral like copper then it will destroys the thiamine function. So, thiamine deficiency leads to improper digestion and absorption of carbohydrate in fish body. 

Important factors. 
       The protein percent must be based on the species, temperature, water productivity, average body weight, health condition of the fish . If we blindly applying feed based on body weight then it cause water quality problems in pond. 
       Feed formulation and application is an important factor. 

Mostly available ingredients for farmers:
1. Rice bran. 
2. Wheat bran. 
3. Soyabean. 
4. Ground Nut oil cake. 
5. Rice. 
6. Corn flour. 
7. Some of fodder plants for herbivores. 
8. Animal based ingredients which are available at local place like chicken wastes, fish silage etc.. 

These are mostly used. 
Requirement:
1. Species? 
2. Stocking density? 
3. Average body weight? 
4. Nutritional requirement at that stage of growth? 

If you answer the first three questions, I will briefly gives you the feed formulation for the certain species and how much should be fed in a day and all detailsdetails with the ingredients you have in your farm. 

* These all details provides based on the market price and based on production costs. So don't fear for the cost related problems. 

IMPORTANT :
           For the detailed information about shrimp farming, pls refer the previous posts.

Better clarification about pH and Alkalinity in shrimp pond. Water quality series -3

Image
  Hello everyone:     Most of us confused between pH and alkalinity in the pond ecosystem. If there is low concentration of pH and alkalinity means we can increase but if there is high pH and alkalinity means it is some difficult to reduce .           pH and Alkalinity are related but different. pH and Alkalinity:       If you have shrimp pond then you definitely know the variance of pH in the water. You want to know means , you can check 4 to 5 times in a day. you must saw the pH fluctuations. Yes, pH is very important factor determines the shrimp culture. based on the level of pH you can tell , what happening in your shrimp pond.       Fluctuations of pH is mainly determined by amount of carbon dioxide in your pond water. Other factors like soil pH, soil deposits like calcium carbonate, planktons density also determines the changes of pH in your water.   pH :       I am also tell the same meaning, pH is determined by hydrogen ion concentration.             pH low - high hydrogen

How copepods develops in shrimp pond after applying fermented juice?

Image
Hello everyone:      Are you know which is shrimp favourite food in zooplanktons? Yes, it is copepods. Shrimp eats more copepods which is present in the pond.       In last blog, I told about the reactions and preparation of fermented juice using organic substrates. It is the continuation of that blog. In this I will tell about how zooplanktons(especially copepods) developed after fermented juice application. Main purpose of fermented juice in shrimp pond:      Increase the beneficial microbial colonies by fermentation and produce various substances which is beneficial for beneficial organism growth. After application, it will forms the microbial proteins in the water column. It serve as a natural food for shrimp at stocking time.     Initially, we have to give some natural live feeds because it increases the strength and natural immune system of the Shrimp. So only we prepared for development of zooplanktons in the pond.   What are planktons?         Phytoplankton and Zoo

How temperature plays major role in shrimp farming.(Water quality series - 1)

Image
Hello everyone:      Today we will see the importance of temperature in shrimp culture. What are the problems will come due to the temperature variance in shrimp pond.      Most of the persons who doing shrimp farm must know about the things what happened during temperature Change.       Shrimp grows very fastly, but we can't culture throughout the year. Why?     If you are doing intensive or super intensive system means no problem. But you are doing the culture of shrimp on outside means you have to fix the culture days based on climate change(keep in mind). Ok let's jump into topic. Temperature :       Most of the farmers doing in outer earthern pond. So in these situations, temperature plays important role in growth of our shrimp. We all focus only on ammonia, nitrite, H2S, but indirectly temperature plays very crucial role.         Heat is produced in water due to sunlight. Because sunlight have some energy in the form of photons , when it comes to contact with
