Good day to all the gurus in the house.. May God continue to bless u all for the great work u r doing here. I went to a friends pond today to see how he runs his farm day to day, (trying to gather info for my own farm)on the farm I: (1)noticed he uses tap water for his pond ,no treatment or watsoeva of d water he stocked 1000 juveniles and as only recorded 8 deaths and they are 3 months old (2) he mixes vital feed and aqua lerra (sorry cnt rem d name) feed, his reason is so dey wont b used to a particular feed incase one becomes scare (3) he feeds d fishes chicken inteintestines (4) he didn't treat his concrete pond b4 stocking, all he did was fill to the brim ,release the water then stock the pond. To d professionals here pls make comments and adjustments on my post tanx.. |

Hello house.. Noticed my fishes are not still eating well after use of multivitamins... A local farmer advice I use small quantity of powdered formed weed into their water.. Please house.. I am skeptical in the advice.. He told me is a secrete most famers don't want to reveal to new catfish farmers.. Please house how true is this... |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 12:59pm On Feb 25, 2017 |
micgray100:which multivitamin?how was it applied? Powdered formed weed,explain? One truth is that there are many crude ways in getting good results in animal production. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by micgray100(m): 1:19pm On Feb 25, 2017 |
excelsiorfarm: Powered formed weed I mean is normal weed they sell as marijuana. Grinded by mortal and pestle by hand and sprinkling it into the water... On the type of multimvamin early mentioned that didn't work. Aquavit.. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 4:37pm On Feb 25, 2017 |
micgray100:first i dont touch illegals & every successful fishfarmers i had met,not a single as small as one use weed to stimulate growth in their fish. The possible idea your local farmer has isn't worthwhile,because without such you can make it. First,your product cant be consider healthy,except you have no integrity,also you are commiting crime. When i first wrote livestovit & aquapro to help people improve,it is because i want many to get better result. So i dont advice that,and that man in quote should be kept at a far distance from you. Hopefully i will consider back to farm maybe soon & possibly more solutions i will give. Stop the multivitamin,keep them in clean water & do a bit of dripping. Not all vitamins is okay. Re feed afterwards |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by micgray100(m): 6:39pm On Feb 25, 2017 |
excelsiorfarm: Thanks for the enlightenment.. I felt same too..Will do all you said.. will also await your responce on the solution.. |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 8:01pm On Feb 25, 2017 |
micgray100:solution was in what i wrote,stop the multivitamin,keep them in clean water,do dripping for oxidation & possible improve activity,then feed. Would work if indeed the suppose vitamin affected them. Otherwise treat for bacteria infection. I would rather recommend aquapro than antibiotic,if you could lay your hands on it. Also keep them in reasonably clean environment & feed at interval until you limit the frequency back to your normal timing 1 Like |

NEW DISCOVERY: It is a general standard that pond should be treated before stocking in other to kill the pathogen and bacterials in the pond, failure of which could result in high mortality. The use of formalin, industrial lime and other chemicals become necessary but at a cost. This is to inform all concrete pond users that you dont need all that except the use of ordinary cement. This could be applied by screeding existing pond with cement and wash with water and you are good to go. This would save you cost of treatment of pond and add solidity to your pond 1 Like 1 Share |

Ttalk:WHAT MAKES IT NEW?? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Ttalk: 1:01pm On Mar 01, 2017 |
excelsiorfarm: It might not be new to you but sincerely it is to thousand of newbie who come here in quest for knowledge. There is this anxiousness in newcomers to fulfill all rightousness thereby incuring unnecessary expenses at this time of recession. This is just one of many new ways of doing things in economic downturn instead of the standard rules and norms Do you need formalin when cement would do the trick and still add value to your pond? Note: I have not seen anywhere in this thread where the use of cement was recommended |

Ttalk: BROS... THANKS FOR YOUR CALL AND ADVICE ON THE MY 3MM VITAL FEED AVAILABILITY PROBLEM... REALLY APPRECIATED.. ON THIS ISSUE OF CEMENT... I AM CONFUSED AGAIN O.. I AM AN ENGINEER BY PROFESSION. A REGISTERED ENGINEER WITH NSE AND COREN.. I READ ON THIS THREAD WHERE SOMEONE SAID ALL CONCRETE / BLOCK PONDS MUST BE FERTILIZE BEFORE STOCKING WITH FINGERLINS.. MY THOUGHT WAS THAT THE FERTILIZATION MEANT WAS TO REDUCE THE CEMENT CONTENT IN ANY CONCRETE / BLOCK POND... NOW USING SAME CEMENT TO FERTILIZE AGAIN IS MAKING ME CONFUSED.. MR EXCELFARM... THIS IS NEW I MUST SAY... COS I HAVE NEVER HEARD OGA ROBONSKI MENTION ANYWHERE IN THIS TREAD THAT ORDINARY PORTLAND CEMENT CAN BE USE TO FERTILIZE ANY FORM OF POND... |

Today is the first day of March and it brings about new temparature as the average temparature for the day is over 30degree celsius in Abuja and its environs. What does this mean to fish farmers? This is indeed when the consumption rate of fish increases and lead to rapid growth if you take advantage of the season. This could make shrewd farner reduce or eliminate some attractant which could be a burden on his purse and not affect the overall performance of his production. CAUTION: This is also the season of disease outbreak because of high growth of harmful agae anh high realease of ammonia and depletion of oxygen. Take every necessary precautions and you ll have a good testimonies |
