Chukwumahike:
@chilanfarms, robonski and all d professionals dat has being off great help in this group.... Pls where can i get good tarpolin in lagos for the construction of a grow out pond, my location is Ota

chilanfarms:
. Are u usin the concrete as ur hatching vat or the nursery?

dakem:
is there any hatchery in otta ogun state. near canaanland. because i need fingerlings

ochosco:
This requires a straight answer. Is the price for fingerlings and feed OK? No
Is the price/Kg OK? No. Will 150bags of feed be enough to achieve the projected weight of 3250Kg? No, Not even with the best of fcr. With 150 bags of 15Kg, the most you could achieve will likely fall below 2,000Kg.

chilanfarms:
if 5000 juveniles eat 150bags u can't have 650g. 150bags= 2250kg of feed, divide it among 5000 juveniles of say 10g body weight. Wat u will have is. 450kg max. The price they r buying is low if u r gonna make any profit @ all. Then seed price is on the higher side too max juveniles should be #25. If u wana do melange (3months) target u need to stock higher... on 10000 juveniles book @ least 3.2toons of feed and u will have them weighing 300-350g per fish...

vroom:


Any CAFAN in Abuja, kindly invite me, I will love to joinh.

youngzoologist:
It takes a novice to see such offer and jump at it without expert analysis.
Just on feeding alone.....worth of #900,000 to feed 5000pcs amounts to #180/fish to expect 650g......failed.

NCFarms:


Ok sir. I will definetly let you know. I learnt gravid ones could be gotten in ibadan, but my worry is how to transport them here.

ubreeze:
About the CAFAN, walk into any ministry of Agric in ur location and ask about them, u will be informed on how to contact them.
The loan facility is ongoing in every state in Nigeria, take advantage of this and grow your profit.

sshyne:


I will be using it for both hatchery and nursery.

ubreeze:
Thanks Chilanfarms. Okay, I will go for the option of 10,000 Juveniles. 3.5 tonnes = 212 bags of feed bah.
So with FCR of 1:1 in mind, I have to go for about 433 bags of feed to get 650g in 3 months for 10,000 juveniles?
#25 per juvenile noted.
Please how much do you think we shd sell per KG.
The cost of feed is stilla concern, is N6000 per bag ok?
Thanks for all your help so far.

youngzoologist:


Though I did get your request precisely cos you did not give a vivid picture but my guess is that you saw 4mm size of feed in your feed probably smaller mm.....its a pelleting issue most time except if rebagged....

Nevertheless, don't be too worried, the fishes are smarter not to eat what is bigger than the mouth size...furthermore, the floating will equally dissoved in no time, making it easy for them to feed on....Nothwithstanding, be mindful you don't have excess of such as it may lead to water pollution.

robonski15:


There are some cheap feed in the market, like Crown,top Vital etc.. depending on the age of your fish i will advice you take formulation of feed as your priority to make profit.
