Sorry for the loss bro, hope you have analyse your water quality?
May be the concentration of formalin is too high, wash with salt then it will kill the microbes
Use poultry litters to fertilize/stabilize you tarpaulin pond sir. Pour the litters and add water, you can start using after you confirm mosquito larva are able to survive/swin

Alot of enterprisers' and employees, who often have the innate talents for business' as an avenue to which extra income could be made in this unyielding economy and at same time be conscious of not venturing on a path that would affect their current job adversely are usually at decision points as on what to do particularly.

Such individuals' especially agroprenuers, who would like to invest into the value chain of agriculture like fish farming, are usually faced with lots of constraints involving thoughts like do they need to go into fish farming for several months before making profit, fear of mortality or slow growth rate, cost of procuring an oven for smoking, the stress and efforts involved in ensuring that the smoked fish comes out tasty and not burnt, unavailable space when it comes to put the oven or siting temporary ponds especially in a rented apartment environment, and so on.

*The year 2018 is fast approaching and various plans keep coming into our minds.*

We are pleased to inform you that a risk-free business and new opportunity has been opened to be a distributor of our tasty oven dried catfish for the sum of N50,000 and collect fish worth N65,000 in various packs of N1,000, N1,500 and 2,000 (depending on your aimed range of establishment). Thus, you make N15,000 profit for every N50,000 invested. Usually, a larger purchase would attract more *PROFITS INCENTIVES* which is a subject to *NEGOTIATE* with us.

Our Distributors phone numbers are always indicated on our advert means, so buyers can easily identify and contact in case the *NEED* arises.

Lagos distributors can pick up the products at our location while goods can be *WAY BILLED* to distributors outside Lagos.

*For further enquiries,..... please do not hesitate to reach us via phone calls or whatsapp on 08057950487 and 09031504726. Melange farms / consults.*

Thank you.

Good Day everyone,

I would like to introduce our smart & affordable aquaculture management solution. Our solution will empower you to drive your business to a whole new level of efficiency through data-driven decision making.

Nigeria currently consumes about 2.7 million metric tonnes of fish per year and local supply only accounts for 800,000 Tonnes. This gap presents a huge opportunity for fish farmers who approach their business with a laser focus on management & continuous improvement.
In our rapidly changing market, the pressure on farmers to make accurate & timely decisions has never been greater. The ability to identify challenges, spot opportunities and adapt with agility is not just a competitive advantage but also a requirement for survival.

Uniformed Decisions can be very expensive. We have noticed a difference of up to 43% gross margin between farms that have been given the same opportunity.

A farmer should always be collecting data, it's undoubtedly a key ingredient to success. Without data, you’re just another person with an opinion. The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight.
That’s why we built Kibo, Powerful easy to use solution for aquaculture production.
• Easy to use: Capture feeding, sampling, sales, mortality and other useful information accurately on a friendly, attractive and easy to use application. Eliminate paperwork and complex spreadsheets.
• Precise costing & Traceability: Track your fish from stocking to harvest. Know the types of feeds and medications used for each batch and most importantly the exact cost of raising each batch.
• Real-Time control at your Fingertips: Understand what is happening as it is happening using any device. Feed performance, survival rates, and other use production controls.
• Get Value & Insight from your data: Analyze & visualize your farm's performance with production and financial reports Spot trends, problems and areas for improvement and act

Be bold and take control of your business today. We would love to show you a demo or answer any questions you have. Leave us with a contact number or email and we would reach out to you. You can also contact us via WhatsApp +19058703797 or +2348060802646.

Good Day everyone,
Uniformed Decisions can be very expensive. We have noticed a difference of up to 43% gross margin between farms that have been given the same opportunity.

2 farmers bought 2,000 pieces of fingerling @ N10 each weighing 3g and grew their fish to 1Kg and sold at ₦650. Both farmers faced with the same opportunity came out with different results, because of the decisions they made. The difference between the 2 farmers was their feeding policy and Survival rate on the farms.
· Farmer 1, Decided to stop his starter feed (2/3mm) (₦575/Kg) early and switched to a cheaper locally supplied feed grower feed (4/6mm) (₦345/Kg) and finisher feed (8/10mm) (₦290/Kg) with the intentions of reducing his costs. His decision was solely based on price and he didn't other factors. He experienced mortality of 12% in the juvenile stage, 4% in grower stage and 2% in finisher stage. His overall gross margin for the batch was ₦238,777 and achieved weight in 5.7 months.
· Farmer 2, paid closer attention to his mortality and controlled it better. He also paid more attention to his Feed Conversion ratio and decided to pay slightly more for his feed. He paid the same as farmer 1 for starter feed (₦575/kg), He selected a grower feed (₦386/Kg) that was of better quality and had a better feed conversion ratio. His decision for finisher feed (₦320/Kg) was also slightly more expensive but once again had better feed conversion ratio. His overall gross margin for the batch was ₦341,924.40, achieved weight in 4.8 months.

Overall given the same opportunity Farmer 2 made about 43% more in gross margin (₦103,000) more than farmer one. He also saved a full month of indirect expenses such as salaries and energy cost.

Am not talking about any other feed other than the self acclaimed GELATIN FEED. The producers and their cohorts claimed the crude protein is 60% and I bought 300kg as my first order from a distributor at ikutun and even posted a video of my fishes accepting it. But to my surprise, after ordering 1 tonne, for 150k they sent me what my fishes could not even swallow. I called the guy and he told me to return it of which I did and I collected my money from him. After some days I went to agege to mill my own feed and to my greatest disappointment, I saw the feed in question. It was there the guys working at the milling house told me that the owner of gelatin feed is only using just PKC , maize flower, blood meal and wheat offal to produce his feed. I was not surprised but I had to be sure of it cp protein and I took the feed to animal care at Agege where I paid 5k for testing it. D result was 14.9% cp. So where in the world did they get their 60% cup without fish meal, no soya, no gnc.

Pls, do the right thing and ensure any feed be it local or foreign is tested before buying in bulk. A word is enough for the wise.
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by stonedigital: 1:59pm On Dec 03, 2017
