GOOD NEWS TO PRACTICING AND PROSPECTIVE FARMERS!!!!


For practicing farmers (fish farmers), it is no news that the price of both local and imported floating feeds keeps sky rocketing on a daily basis( an average of N350-N450/kg) which means a farmers cost of production is getting high on the daily basis but the same can not be said about the cost of fish per kilo at the farm gate as the price remains at an average of what it has been in the last decade (i.e N350-N400 for melange and N480-N550),

Mean while the cost of feed accounts for about 80% of a farmers expenses on each stock,therefore it becomes difficult for an average farmer to make profit (if not run at lost) with the feed price situation.The cost of production is getting high every day but the selling price of fresh fish per kilo at the farm gate remains what it used to be.

Also the price of feed material for pelleting local sinking feeds are also getting high everyday but one can still make quality and cheap feed when compared in terms of price to the local floating and imported feeds.Although locally pelleted sinking feeds are not as effective like the local and imported floating feeds and thus they do not give good results like the floating feeds in the area of water management, digestibility,palatability and nutrition.

But what makes the almighty floating local and imported feeds so effective and achieve all the said results? They are able to achieve these results because they float and they are steamed cooked at temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius which is the reason why they are nutritious, palatable,have great water stability and are easily digested by the fishes. These factors are very essential for a fish farm to be successful and well managed.


Here is the good news!! At RUYEMCO FEED MILL we have quality locally made floating fish feeds that is highly nutritious ,palatable and with good water stability. Materials are locally sourced from good source and steamed cooked before they are extruded to pellets sizes ranging from 1mm- 8mm available at an affordable prices ranging from an average of N240/kg. Also available at RUYEMCO FEED MILL is sales of feed materials and concentrates for fish farming,piggery and poultry. Also we do pelleting/extruding service of floating fish feeds for farmers who have their own special almighty formula for their fish farming practice.

I posted sometime ago about my bacteria attack i had on my fishes after those treatment they have been up and doing....I| made some mistakes and i want others to learn from it....

I didnt treat my pond before stocking, i bought seeds that probably had low resistance to diseases i noticed that after i bought from the farmer the ones left had issues which he treated seriously, and when i saw signs of such in my pond and i wanted to take proper actions he discouraged me that i shouldnt bother they will get better, they actually did temporarily but wen dey played return leg i lost over 600 pieces.
I finally did what i wanted to do earlier he kept quiet and was watching.

In case you find urself in the midst of such farmers that tell you years of experience and dey dont update pls press ur ignore button and do the needful i learnt mine and i do the needful with no aplologies...the same fellow hatched and lost all of his fishes the female even died of abt 4kg he hatched recently and lost about 45% again but dey tell you years of experience like dey know it all i have a friend who i introduced to fishery started this janurary and he is doing great right now on his 2nd set of hatching he is months old and has over 40000 fries its nt how far but how well this thread has really helped me with the likes of great people have met thanks for ur 1 million supports if start to mention i mit offend some

my fish is 3weeks today. How time flies!
i have abt 2 of them dt are still same size as wen it was bought. only diff is dt their head is getting bigger. Their heads arent flat as was said of runts. The others are 3times the size while some are a little lesser. They grow everyday.

I hv a challenge. The drainage tap for the pond doesnt flow well. I have to use bucket and take water out. i noticed a cracked head on one of my fishes this morning and i feel i caused it during draining. i have called a plumber to come and replace d tap wit a bigger one.
Please advise hw to handle d fish while d plumber is replacing d tap.

@olubankemi, hw far?

mercylicious:

I have watched some video on it bt it will be nice u throw more light, especially on how to make d netting strong so dt wind wont blow it off.

noblefarm:

noblefarm:
I rented over ten acres of land and later bought another 25acres to use to farm palm tree
I never taught of fish farming b4 cos all the ppl I knew that did it were all crying but with what am seeing on this thread I have develop interest on it now and I have seen 4plots of land very close to river that never dry so no worry for water.

@Robonski HBD sir

mercylicious:


does it include neting and piping? ie inflow , drainage and overflow?
@ earthen pond guys, kindly respond to this, i feel is too much for dt size.

As farmers, its good we get the initial cost right. initial cost could mar u from from take off if nt gotten right. Ask other experienced ppl and compare the cost.

NB- my friend once told me, ' before u spend any money, consider how long it took you to make that money. Dont be in a haste to spend it.'
Anytime i dont heed dt advise , i always make mistake.
