tnk you sir.

@sudirnge1.
Why do you have to substitute an ingredient of low cost for a costlier one. Flour is costlier than molasses. Or, do you have access to flour free of charge? I am sorry Teepompey, I directed my earlier post to you. The post was meant for Sudirnge1. Post the formula you want to use and let experts in the house help you. You will be better informed. Or, are you one those people that do hide feed formula from other people's benefits? Lol. Do not mind me my sister. By doing this, someone like me who likes playing with feed formula, like my Oga Ab1x, will also benefit. Thank you.

my oga i'm a novice ooo, i'm trying 2 use oga abix formular but not having enough molases n going 2 fish market to buy molases will cost me additional 2k for transport.

Teepompey:

Molasses is a binding agent, anti-dust agent and palatability enhancer. It's also a source of energy. By implication, the feed will not stick together during the pelleting process thereby making the pellets break down during transportation or handling and there will be more dust in the feed. Also, the diet may not be balanced if it's expected to serve as source of energy in the diet.

tnx my boss, can i use flour to suplement for the short fall of the molases?

Teepompey:

It helps boost their immune system, support normal growth and development.

tnx alot im oliver twistooo pls i want ask the implication of using too little molases e.g using 1kg insted of 5kg.

Teepompey:
Findings show that animal proteins can be partly replaced or substituted by plant proteins without affecting growth and feed efficiency. This would reduce cost of production and one would agree that this is the reason why feeds with less protein are not as expensive as the protein rich feeds. Also, role of supplements like methionine and lysine cannot be overlooked as they also aid fast growth.

pls what is the importance of Dcp in fish feed?

ab1x:



There is no way you can make local feeds without having dust.
To reduce it, you need to make use of a lot of flower and molasis
Use a seive to seive the dust from the finer particles
Take the dust back to the feedmill to repellete it for you ( They do it for FREE)
If you like too, you can add the dust to your next local feeds

tnx sir, i will do just that.

pm everybody, d attachment is a 3mm local feed but longer for my fish to pick , how can i make it to be smaller for easy pick-up by the fishes.

pls chairman im still waiting to see your formular for the feed you pasted the picture, i love the way it binds so well.

ab1x:



It is called 2mm not 3mm (indomie size). Base on the formula you used that is why the feed is that long. You can use your hand to break it when feeding them.

my chairman sir,pls what can i do to make my feed bind well like this, my problem with my problem is that my feed dust alot so that after feeding you will see powder feed in the bag.pls help.
