[b]Hello ladies and gentlemen Its my pleasure on behalf of my partners and FRESH ORGANIC FARM we hereby unveil and introduce the gelatin feed.. The first picture is the SUPER GROWTH gelatin feed and the second picture is the SUPER WEIGHT gelatin feed... Both are carefully processed using high quality ingredients mixed in the right ratio to maximize catfish growth and weight..

Essential enzymes, growth hormone, 13 minerals and all essential vitamin with a crude protein for 60%.. It is the ONLY feed in Nigeria with such high crude protein for maximum catfish growth..... The SUPER GROWTH is from fingerlings to the last month of sale, while the SUPER WEIGHT is for the last month till harvest..

The feed comes in powdery form, it needs to be mixed with hot and fed to the fishes for maximum growth and weight.. If you want it to float you can allow to dry for just a day, the advantage it has over other feed is its crude protein is kept intact no leaching of nutrient and can stay bonded together in your water for hours.. You can also prepare it and keep in a dry place and use before preparing another..

We will be selling at a very low price for all to benefit and maximize profit.. A 100kg will be sold for for #15,000 (fifteen thousand Naira only)

Kindly ask any question about the feed.. we will be glad to enlighten you more.

I want to thank all the Gurus in the house that contributed immensely to make the feed a reality.. Most importantly to my partner soft77 who toiled day and night to get the right mix of formula for the success of the feed..



We have gotten some distributors for the feed already in Lagos, Ogun and Delta state, we need more distributors for quicker access to the feed, kindly contact me if interested to become a distributor ..

I had to seek help from other farmers, but every farm I went to I noticed they where all also running at loss.. That was when I decided heading to songhai farms at benin repurblic.. At songhai I learnt all what I was suppose to know concerning fish farming, from how to hatch( spawning) to management, feed formulation and what have u..

I came back full of wisdom and found out what I did and did not do for for the failure of my farm.. First off if you have never started hatching on your own,my brother u have not started yet..so I carefully built my own hatching ponds and with what I learnt I gave it a shot and it was successful, I nurtured them to fingerlings stage and I got over THIRTEEN THOUSAND FINGERLING at my first try..

I selected the best 4000 fingerlings for stocking for the next 5 months and sold the rest.. Dis is one aspect for the failure of fish farmers.. Most hatchery selects the best (shooters)for themselves and sell runts to farmers, And we constantly feed these runts without attaining a reasonable wieght thereby loosing our hard earned money and waste our precious time..
IDENTIFYING RUNTS AS FINGERLINGS

If u still buy fingerlings from other farms please my brother follow the guidelines below so your investment does not go down the drain..

1. Only buy fingerlings from recommended farms, especially those who specialise in the production of fingerlings and juvenile..

2. Runts head seems to be whitish in colour, their body is thinner and is not proportionate in size to the head,they are like unfed children..

3. Buy fingerlings or juveniles only from farms who use male and female fishes (brood stock) equal to or above 1.5kg..

To be continued..

WATER MANAGEMENT : This is a very important aspect of fish farming because it determines the growth and wellness of your fish for maximum profits .
We have to know that water management start with preparation of your pond. Use the methods i mentioned in my earlier topic using formalin and water to soak the concrete pond for 3 hours and using a plastic bowl to take the water mixed with formalin to splash all the walls of your pond, Then after 3 hours rainse it with salt and water using same splashing method .NOTE the water and formalin solution should be 1/4 of your pond.
For earthen pond use the agric lime and chicken manure method ,explained in my earlier post .
Having done that the next step is to test your water of its physical and chemical properties .
A good fish farmer should have a water test kit ,if you dont have one then ,its like a crop farmer without hoe or cutlass
The major things that determine a good water quality are PH , TEMPERATURE AND DISSOLVED OXYGEN:
When u follow the right amount of these parameters strictly, then you will have a successful harvest.

PH:
Catfish require the range 6.5 to 8 ph for optimal result.
Your ph can be corrected using simple but effective materials, in concrete ponds ,use crushed oyster shell by placing them in a sack and place under the ponds water at the point were your water inlet enters your pond .Other shells that can be used are periwinkle shell the ones the calabar call insam , snail shells and palm cannel shell can also be used to correct your water ph.
You can also use lemmon grass or elephant grass ,but cutting fresh grass ,wash it and put them in a sack and place them under the pond were new and fresh water enters your pond or at you water inlet .This 2 simple material help balance your ph from acidic to neutral. because they are natural buffers.This will help you reduce cost ,instead of buying the chemical buffers ,which sometimes you have to be vigilant with.
For ponds with high basic water,though its not common to have high basic water. Most water problems are acidic but for those with high basic water , cut some woods that are decaying or tree backs ,then cut them into smaller pieces and put in a sack placed under your water .this is also a cheap and effective way of reducing cost in your water ph problems
For best result with your fish make sure you check your water ph 1 time a day mostly in the afternoon to get an accurate value of your water ph for concrete ,plastic and tarpaulin users
For earthen ponds users , water ph is more and easily maintained by using the agric lime and chicken dry poo .and this can last till the end of a cycle but still try to check your ph once a week , especially those who get there source of water from nearby streams, because flowing streams tends to have fluctuate in ph rapidly, due to different human activities done on open streams.

Temperature should be maintained between 26 degree to 30 degree not that catfish can not grow at lower temperatures but these particular range of temperatures give them the best chance to have good metabolism ,breaks down there feed better for flesh and weight .
How to increase your pond temperature in time of cold using concrete pond ,is to close your pond with a tarpaulin , using a dark color tarpaulin, so it can help absorb heat from the environment help retain the heat in the pond and make the pond dark at same time warm...,which the cats like ...
To reduce heat in your pond like some temperature in the north ,is to try to open your ponds tarpaulin cover and try to do partial water change in your pond.
For earthen pond users during hot season try to allow fresh water from streams wells or bore hole in to your ponds .And to increase temperature like raining or cold season , add more chicken manure in your pond to allow or to facilitate the growth of algae and other aquatic plants in your pond so they can form some reasonable amount of shade and help keep the water under the pond warm.
Oxygen in your pond both in concrete and earthen pond are increased when you do regular water change or flow through .
Having get all these right, there are some physical problems that deteriorate your pond water quality ,there are some water that looks milky and has lots of particles , these are due to underground pollution .This type of water need to be diverted from your source of water first ,into a filter tank .This tank can be plastic like the type robonski posted some month backwards during the hatchery set up . In this tank add a foam and gravel with charcoal in the tank for the water to pass through , Its called natural filtration before the filtered water can be channelled to your pond inlet by gravity through connecting pvc pipes .FOR THOESE COMING FOR TRAINING IT WILL BE DEMONSTRATED FOR YOU TO SEE HOW IT WORKS.
For stagnant concrete pond users , place a bag containing crushed oyster shell, charcoal and granite let the quantity be 3 to 5 kg crushed oyster shell and half the sack bag containing charcoal and granite .. to help condition your water maintains your ph and reduce the ions concentration in your stagnant pond .
For all earthen ponds users try to get what is called a water hyacinth.
This is a water plant that grows freely in lagoons and most earthen pond . When you have just 2 water hyacinth, in 7days it can multiply to 100 ,and this water plant makes your pond self clearifying because its a big nitrogen eater in your ponds ,so it clears your water of excess nitrogen in you ponds ,making it ver clear.FOR THOSE COMING FOR THE TRAINING; 2 FREE WATER HYACINTH WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU TO REPLANT IN YOUR POND:
Another great challenges earthen ponds users face are scums ,these can be formed by bad water from nearby streams , or over pollution from many un eaten feed . Or when u have too much algae bloom . Sometimes you see a brown thick layer like mud and silver shining particles on your earthen pond which is a sign of too much ion concentration in your pond soil .This is totally bad for your fish health because scums blocks the exchange of atmospheric oxygen with your water surface,so a quick and effective way to remove it .
Get a pvc pipe 1inch, tie a rope or twine to the two ends of the 1 inch pvc pipe.
Make sure the length of the pvc is same as the width of your pond .
This process have to be carried out with two people were by a person holds one end and another holds the other end , and gently lay the pipe on the pond .NOTE the pond outlet is to be open when carrying out this process so as to allow the scum flow out .
Both persons ,each on opposite sides of the pond will hold to the twine .......TO BE CONTINUED
