Rik500k:
How much can one use to clear this machine from Lagos port ?

Can it be fabricated locally but work exactly and efficiently?

Electricity powered
1. What's the production capacity ?

2. If you raised Form M for the purchase, and have all relevant clearing documents, may be easier to clear, otherwise you may have to pay as much as the cost of the machine to clear, because of the "Nigerian Factor "
On the other hand, there are some Chinese sellers, who will charge you a certain percentage of the cost of machine for Customs clearance and duty, then you collect at their warehouse (they may say you won't pay anything again), but it's usually a different story when your machine, which you have paid for is already in Nigeria.

We have people who sell the exact machine in Nigeria, although there are others fabricated in Nigeria - shine your eyes.

You have to consider the power consumption of the machine. Most of them with high production capacity operate on 3 Phase power supply, which I know is not readily available in this country.
Then, to run the machine, you require a 3 phase generator of nothing less than 20 kVa.

Think very well.
Climax is that most of these machines are ingredients selective - the Major problem.

Fellow Farmers, how possible is it to stock 15 broodstock last year. ended up using 4 from January. only to empty the whole pond today and meet no fish. There isn't any single skull in the pond. Pond type (Earthen Concrete pond). Pls need urgent answers, currently having lots of thoughts running through my mind
Possible. Someone helped you to use the remaining fishes, one way or the other.

Turn of Events-The Unknown Soldiers
The appearance of armed soldiers at the Lekki toll gate, is a very dangerous turn of events for the Country.

Even if this Youth uprising is crushed, and you think it's the end, I laugh, because it's just the beginning.

May the souls of those who lost their lives in this struggle rest in peace.

Whatsoever a man sow, that shall he reap.

The truth is that the Nigeria I grew in is not the Nigeria of today. The earlier the agencies of the State, as well as the Government of the day realize the issues at stake the better.
If the Youthful generation on the streets and roads today failed to change the tide of events, as their parents and Government failed, then the race will be for the next generation of Youth, who will see them as cowards.
However, the impact of @ENDSARS IS CLEAR, WHEN YOU THINK IT'S THE END, IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING.

In the current situation, there is no hope for the Youth, except they STAND UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS.

A country where the rich gets richer, and the poor, poorer ,there will come a time of uprising called REVOLUTION.

It is an open secret, that this Country cannot maintain the affluent lifestyle of the Government and her Agencies, borrowing to jeopardize the future of the Youths.
It's time for all and sundry to sit down and actually change, transparently for all to see a Great Nigeria.

tarpaulin pond, I feed morning and night, I change water twice a week and the are a month old from juvenile. some have not even added since then up till now.
You are expected to be changing your water everyday, with your feeding schedule. Change your water regularly, depending on the capacity of the pond, mix 250g of table salt with water, and also add a sachet of tetracycline (open the capsule). If you do this for 3days, without feeding, mortality will reduce drastically.

capital intensive, thats my greatest fear, I’m going to share a picture when I’m home, the pelletizing machine looks funny it was fabricated by a friend farmer years ago, we stopped using it cos getting the accurate feed components were impossible for my dad, either the fishes over fed and theyd die with a protruded belly or they die decay In the pond or one thing or the other and it gets the pond dirty after each days eAting, extruding machine should be a good option for me right now , I don’t really want to spend money Buying feeds, I’ll be selling some fishes from next month, I already have some 1.+ fishes now, I’ll sell and try to save some money from there
Please send the picture. It's easier to operate a pelletizer than the extruder. Ingredients preparation for both is different. You need to start from somewhere with your tested formulation. If you share the ingredients you use for the local feed, I may be able to give a piece of advice. I stayed in Port Harcourt for a while, and one of the problems is getting unadulterated ingredients, most especially fish meal. Grinding, and type of binder used also play a vital role in the feed leaching in the pond, before being eaten. Overfeeding too can cause mortality of fishes.
With extruder, you'll need a pulverizer, mixer, and dryer. Some extruders are ingredients selective hence you may run into getting the right ingredients for the machine. To crown it all is the power utility of the extruder, which is mostly 3 phase ( when you don't get one full phase). When you strategically plan, you can get the items one after the other, to make your dream come true.

my location is abia, ok for now I don’t really know the annual production capacity, my my father might haatch up to 1500/1800 fingerlings, some die along the line tho, he shares them in the ponds

Where is your location? If it's around Lagos, depending on when you want to start next month, and the intended capacity, we can work things out.

my issue is feeding costs and the fishes growing to 1.5+ in 6months,
The fishes consume about 10bags of feeds under 3 weeks and that’s excruciating
You are at an advantage , with regards to feeds, with the pelletizing machine which you have. What is the quantity of the fishes, and how old? Which type of rearing facility are you using, size, and the number of fishes contained?

i inherited a fish farm from my dad, we’ve got this pellet machine, I want to fabricate the extruding machine, but I don’t really know much about the cost analysis or range
Congratulations, you have inherited a fortune - the fish farm, from your father. You are also, working towards taking the fish farming venture to the next level, producing floating feed.

Please note that, catfish farming is a capital intensive venture. I always advice, Dream Big, Start Small, and grow your dream .
Definitely, you're a practicing catfish farmer. There are different types of pelletizing machine, can you share the picture of the one you have?

When it comes to extruder, you need to be extra careful so that you don't get scammed. The production capacity varies, and you also have to consider the power supply in the farm location.
AgricultureRe: Free Catfish Rearing Mentoring by bilag17(op): 3:44pm On Oct 10, 2020

@bilag17 Good Morning Sir, how is business and family. I have not been around for quite a while. As discussed, I ventured into cropping due to the limited time I have to take care of my stocks. I hope to be back to this venture as soon as possible. Very glad you are still active on this thread to show us the way. I only have positive reviews with your broodstocks and i hope you still have them in their lineage.

My shout out also goes to @excelsiorfarm , @robonski15, @Ttalk and other contributors. i will always update the house.

NB: Agriculture is the only respectable job that does not require your CV though you have to be very tactical.

For those doing earthen pond farming, its time to fortify your barricades to prevent flood (Just my advice).

Emmanuel - 08183549869.
@Emmafly, thank you so much. I remember, always the visit to your farm facility, and your rearing strategy which makes you harvest monthly.
Your unique fish drying oven, is still a model.
Keep the agricultural flag flying.

It is so encouraging, the number of people who has been in contact with me regarding this thread.

The participants from Agbado, Oke -Aro, Lambe, Oke-Ira(Ogba), and Agege, in Lagos and Ogun states, are interesting and set for the mobilization. Although, many from these areas contacted me, but failed the screening. They cannot provide required rearing facility, as well as feed for the fishes.

Those who are outside the catchment areas, are advised to key into the FREE mentoring as in the thread below :
