It is a very good source of protein. It makes fish grow big.
It makes water dirty/black. When use excessively, It causes crack-head disease.

If used raw, water turns black faster. I prefer buying the boiled and sundried ones. I used it in making pellets.

sad what you guys are asking for is a clinical explanation of what I said up there which is almost impossible to explain here.... If not for the practical experience I've had about it .... I would just follow the crowd on the issue.
Would love to to let us know the below info.
- I stand to be corrected as we all still learning
*Fishes require higher Crude protein to grow bigger at initial stage and less CP at latter stage (which made 2mm feed to be more expensive when compared to 4mm n 6mm feed). Once they grow all the gonads and other features of there body that slows their growth.... Less CP is required but some of we farmers still go ahead to feed high CP all through in the name of compounded feeds
*Fishes needed just 1 or 2 of extruded pellet per meal( the chemical constituents of the feed require thus) additional is just a waste or snacks. [but we need to be sure all of them picks it.... That calls for more input at a time]
*fish farmer with a very good water exchange/ aerator is bound to have 1kg an above in 8 weeks from juveniles. [this proves high dissolve oxygen in water + less feed is what this guys need to grow[practical experience]
*lastly some farmers feed their ponds instead of fishes and we complain of high feed input.

Please more explanation are on all that I wrote above ... We can never say it all
Please feel free to paint/correct/add/disagree/bash me.... I want to learn at you guys feet the more thanks

Can u kindly Shed more light..
when excessive dietary protein was provided, the excess protein was catabolized into energy, leading to a reduction in feed utilization efficiency. No be book be this my Oga .... Na Practicals .... And we all know say the thirst/ quest for protein rich feeds beyond normal are the cause of our losses in achieving appreciable sizes within shortest period of time.

Summary : when you start you feed high... It gets to a point all you need is feed less with good water exchange to achieve good results.

No.
It is either you give to them raw directly or you grind the sundried to make pellets. Though some used both in making garri balls (eba) for adult fish.

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by james87871: 10:52pm On Sep 25, 2017
Do you mean to reduce the protein content or to reduce the quantity of feed . ?

This is a big lesson it has happen to me when I got started with fish farming until I change the feeding method some people will tell you feed twice a day and to saturated if you are not careful you feed a what is suppose to eat for 3 month in a single month and you can't get the weight on the fish within a month .
