yomiknows: It is possible to make profit. 3 fish of melange make one kg 300naira will feed 3fish that makes up 1kg Therefore, 100naira will feed 1 fish to attain average of 350gram For example 3000 melange will consume 300,000 naira for them to attain 1000kg @ average of 350gram per fish 150,000 @ average of 7,500 per bag will give you 20bags of floating feed that is 300kg of feed 150,000 naira for local feed of 600kg total feed equal 900kg Total weight of 3000melange give 1000kg 1000kg X 600(current price of melange) gross profit 600,000 - 300,000 equal 300,000 net profit (Note: The fish would attain average miinimum of 100gram each with floating feed) 1 Like 1 Share |

bilag17: pls i am interested in this |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Ttalk: 8:08pm On Jan 15, 2017 |
Busayo1981: I would advice you allow the one in the pond to attain 150gram before switching to local feed. The other bigger one can be fed local. For the mortality, treat your pond first and observe before treating your fish. Also observe if there are no mold growth on the feed |

Busayo1981: Feed twice FCR means Feed Conversion Ratio that is the quantity of feed that translate to body weight of the fish |

Busayo1981:I think that 2kg of salt and 2 bottles of palm oil are much for the quantity of feed. What is their effect on the fish? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Ttalk: 8:16am On Jan 16, 2017 |
@ Busayo1981 your compsition is rich but lacks binding agent such as starch. This should not be less than 15% if you want to achieve good binding. This could have led to leeches of your rich nutrient in water, causing harm to your fish |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Ttalk: 8:21am On Jan 16, 2017 |
bilag17: Salt is very important in aquaculture. It aids digestion and serves as antistress. I use 1kg for every 100kg composition. 2bottle of palm oil is alright |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by frshwvfarms: 8:34am On Jan 16, 2017 |
bilag17: Thanks for your consideration and willingness to work toward more solution. May I ask, How are you producing your feed? Do you own Pellet feed production equipment or do use manual mixing..? Does your feed float, sink or both? You mentioned the result has been encouraging. What are the challenges, if any? I was taking a look at some production machines made from China that would aid in larger productions. Have you considered such? There can be much more progress, power, and greatness in unity. Ideas cannot be substantiated until it is tried and put to use. Good Morning |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 10:55am On Jan 16, 2017 |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by bilag17(m): 1:31pm On Jan 16, 2017 |
Ttalk:Thanks for your explanation. I think there are guiding limits of quantity of different feed components / additives to be added to animal feeds, bearing in mind that such animals are later consumed by human being (us). Pls, what is the purpose of adding palm oil to the feed? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by bilag17(m): 1:37pm On Jan 16, 2017 |
Busayo1981:Very good, 1 or 2 deaths in a while is not out of place, but just be observant, and guide against regularity of occurrence thru good water management. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by bilag17(m): 1:51pm On Jan 16, 2017 |
frshwvfarms:. Quite interesting. I have feed pelletizer, mixing had been in many forms - manual to mechanical, for now sinking pellets (working towards floating). Considering those machines from China also. Challenges are many, and cannot be enumerated overnight. Had used mills in Port Harcourt, Lagos, and Ibadan, with many challenges regarding the quality of feeds. What has been your experience with the Chinese machines? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 1:58pm On Jan 16, 2017 |

bilag17:Palm oil is lipid and digestible energy that provide energy need. It is a better form of energy most especially for juvenile fish because of the increasing need of energy requirement. Most plant cabonhydrates at this stage is required sparingly because of the fish inability to optimally utilise it |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by bendims(m): 1:15am On Jan 17, 2017 |
Ttalk: Thank you Sir for the detailed analyses. God bless you. I've asked around and discovered the highest amount customers are willing to pay for melange is 500 naira. Some even said their supplier sells it to them at 480 naira. Assuming I sell at 500 naira that will be 500,000 - 300,000 = 200,000. Then again we've not considered NEPA Bill and cost of fuel and cost of fingerlings. Then, expenses due to unforseen circumstances. Let's assume NEPA Bill and cost of fuel is 20,000 naira per month = 20,000 × 3 = 60,000 Cost of fingerlings is 10 naira = 10 × 3000 = 30,000. Let's assume unforseen expenses is 10,000. Total cost asides from feeding = 100,000. 200,000 - 100,000 = 100,000 naira net profit. But one will still pay tax on this 100,000. This means that for every 400,000 naira that one invests into melange production, one gets 100,000 naira as returns after three months. The profit margin is fair. |
