@excelsiorfarm , good afternoon sir. Please sir I want to know if the cold water from the tank outside can have any bad effect on fries. after reading trough ronboski thread, I decided to set up a small hatchery at home to solve the problem of buying runt seeds for my farm, the production was successful and they are 11 days old now, the weather is really cold here and I am losing much fries from 2 days ago, so I want to know if the problem is the water coming in from the tank, cause I do flow thru 24/7..
You didnt describe in detail the condition of your fries, you only assume it could be as a result of cold. Are they hanging? What is the water temperature in the morning and in the evening?

Apply excelsiorfarm prescription if it you are sure the mortality is as a result of cold

pls let us know the price. I will be very interested in that low wattage pump if the price is reasonable.
I am aware of some China products (as low as 100watts) that sell for about 60k say. They are also submersible with maximum depth of 120ft.
Can you please give the name of the pump that pump at 100watt

What kind of biological filters are available?
Do you necessarily need to infuse oxygen/ozone?
What is the stocking rate when using complete RAS?
Are you allowed to switch off you RAS for some hours?

I have some pumps that can push 16000L/hr for a meagre 150W but the are submersible.


Interesting, what is the name of the pump and at what depth?

If you have enough water and where to dispose water all year round, flow through may be ideal when considering the cost implication and profit.

The number of fish stock is a function of dissolve oxygen in your pond. Other means that proved to be less expensive to run and still give increased dissolve oxygen has been introduction of aerator and flow through system

Diversifying means exchanging services and goods beyond your local market, the biggest challenge it has is competition, because you are no longer trading as a local champion but on the global stage where competition is fierce, how do you beat the competition?
You beat it by taking up areas of comparative advantage.
The downstream sector of Nigeria hold great opportunities because we already have a developed oil sector which has stood the competition on the global stage, hence the need to maximize its benefits.

Do you know that Africa's refining capacity is abysmal? except for Egypt and Algeria who control the North Africa/middle east market, South Africa who control the southern to central African market, from the Head of Africa (Guinea Bissau) to the horn of Africa (Ethiopia) has no serious refining capacity. That should be a huge area of interest for Nigeria.

Why I prefer refining is because it doesn't only churn out products of industrial and commercial value, it sets the mark for petrochemical revolution which is the raw material hub for most manufacturing companies.

Again, we have access to the Gulf of Guinea which is another huge advantage over our European competitors who will likely penetrate our target market through the Mediterranean or Our Asian competitors who will penetrate our market from the Pacific, we will murder them with logistics cost.

Once we get there, we will revisit our foreign policy, this time we will look forward to a robust transport system that interconnect our market zone, rail, road, anything that transit countries can afford in counterpart funding, once done, then Nigeria is set to become the Russia of Africa in the next 15 years.

These are the Challenges, our oil is domiciled in a restive region, other safer regions attract huge exploratory cost, which makes the whole plan capital intensive, a recessive economy can not afford that, democracy is expensive hence ladden us with huge overhead cost.
Once we can take care of the bottlenecks, we will get there with time.

On a personal note, I have kept tab on most of our OPEC and non OPEC competitors, there is nothing significant they are doing at this period except waiting it out so I don't expect any miracle from Buhari, however, how he manages the situation will determine the number of casualties we will take.
For now, we just have to wait it out!!
I think that is the intention of FG with all her assistance making dollar available to Dangote at the expense of other indigenous competitor who felt cheated. The only explanation to government continual search for crude oil in North East at this trying period is that government wanted to leverage on the downstream potentials and ensure uninterrupted supply of crude from other parts of the region to local refineries when the supply from NDelta is reduced.
What i dont know is how the recent devaluation will affect the outcome of government support for indigenous refining companies. Will it eventually bring down the price of refined products apart from fetching the economy extra dollar and reducing the dollar demand on importation of refined products?.

Mr excelsior, thanks for all ooooo. I want to give hatching a final shot ooo. Am thinking of doing another production after going through all ur instructions. Am also working on how to get my broodstock from a reliable source and improve water management. I am hoping for the best
Ma, hope you are fully back on your production, i pray it will be a success story this time around.

From my personal experience this tip can be of help to your next hatching operation

1. Acclimatize your broodstock to your water and temperature for at least 10 days before using the broodstock

2. Compare your pH meter to determine accuracy or give to experience person to calibrate for you. [Since two pH dont give exact figure]

3. Always remember that hatchery/room temperature is different from water temperature. The different can make or mar success in hatchery

4. African clarias due to our environment adaptation, takes a bit longer to fertilize and hatch. i.e @ water temperature of 26 degree,almost all the egg became ripe after eleven hour. I prefer 12 hours at 26 o c.

5. Allow water in the vat settle for at least 12hours before introduction of egg

6. Covering of vat during incubation is not necessary provided vat is in enclosed environment and you maintain constant temperature.

7. Before introduction of egg, test your water and adjust the pH and temperature to neutral 7 and 30 respectively. This operation can be repeated every six hour interval. I reset my pH every 12hours interval.

8. Clarias will hatch from pH 6 to 7.5 and temperature from 25- 32. While pH of 7 and temperature of 30 is regarded as optimum for hatching

9. Aerator enhances hatching rate it is recommended

10. Flow through water energizes the egg and enhances hatching rate.

11. Incubation and rearing of larva required similar pH and water temperature for at least the first 15days. Maintain constant flow-through

12. There is always urge to see your larva grow. Please dont overfeed them

You can get over 90% hatching rate and survival rate with these simple observation, God on our side.

To construct automatic local incubator that will guarantee over 90% hatching rate provided other factors are place, e-mail goldgate2003@yahoo.com

KCoker:
Hello Everyone,
As a benefactor of diverse info from this thread. I would like to make my little contribution to everyone.

I am privileged to know that the Dollar price is going higher, and CBN has withdrawn their set Exchange limit. The implication is that the Dollar has been deregulated - even though the word is highly placed at the back seat due to the sentiments attached to the word deregulation. News has also been going round regarding the challenge of oil marketers is purchasing refined oil due to the high exchange rate. Black market rate has soared from N340(about a month ago) to N374 (today).

The "likely" outcome of a floating Dollar to farmer is that the prices of imported feeds are going to rise, petrol is also likely to be affected. Much more is that cash in the bank is gradually devaluing, as N50,000 for 10bags after another price hike will not be able to purchase d same qty of feed. Rather than buy feeds in bits, i advice to purchase more into storage. While am not sure how this gradual Dollar price increase will take its toll as it head to N300/Usd frm N283/Usd btw banks, we can take positions now to convert our cash to needed commodities b4 it hits our needed commodities.
Sir you are on point and that is why there is a need to rather be a BUSINESS FISH FARMER rather than be an EXPERT IN FISH FARMER.

A business fishfarmer knows in and out of his farm operations as well as micro and macro economics indices that affect his occupation while an expert fishfarmer only rely on his expertise and experience in the business to succeed.

Many Nigerians most especially fish farmers do not expect what is hitting us. Presently as i speak to you there are no 0.2mm, 0.5mm and 0.8mm coppens and other popular foreign feed in Abuja and it has been like that for the past one month.

You said there is need to store up feed and you think that is the solution? No! That will only lead to artifical increament in the price of ingredients. And dont forget that the quality of the ingredients will reduce after a long time. I think the only way out is for individual farmer to start producting his/her feed at least from 0.8mm and above. I have started my experiment already on 0.8mm, 1-2mm and will unveil after the completion of the process.

We have come to a time in national live when things are no longer going to be the same again. Dear fishfarmer we all have to rise to the occasion in order to salvage our investment. I was lucky enough to discover on time that we can no longer depend on gasoline/petrol generator for our business because of its price volatility and scarcity of the product. We can no longer depend on imported feed to make meaningful success in fishfarm. This is because fish business is fragile and require a running system that must not collapse and i have found my solution in 3-in-1 GPP Diesel Engine. Today, i mill my feed anytime i like and pump water using 3 in 1 GPP that uses Diesel.

I urge eminent farmers on this forum to rise to this challenges. We have to call the bluff yeye imported feed that are increasing their product on daily basis.
Agriculture › Re: Nigeria First Multipurpose Fish Feed Pelleting, Grinding And Power Generator by Ttalk(op):
Good day to everone in the house. To those that have been requesting to know the price and specifications of our 3 in 1 GPP, i hope this information would guide us in making decision as regard 3 in 1 GPP diesel engine.
It comes in different designs just like generator sets comes in different KWA and KVA depending on what you want to use it for. I will simplified it into [4] four categories
Small 3 in 1 GPP
Medium 3 in 1 GPP
Giant 3 in 1 GPP
Super Giant 3 in 1 GPP

Small 3 in 1 GPP is powered by 175 diesel engine and uses between 5kva and 7.5kva alternator
Functions: Can powered conveniently 3 one and half HP of pumping machine conveniently with some other light equipment
Average pelleting rate is 50kg per hour
It grinds soft and cooked ingredients such as boiled corn
Minimum price of this is 350k excluding transportation

This is ideal for farm with capacity of up to 6000 fishes

Fuel consumption average 2-3 hours per 1 litre

Note: Using kick starter will require u buying kick starter accessories and installation. Most 175 diesel does not come with kick starter

Medium 3 in 1 GPP is powered by 195 diesel engine and uses between 7.5kva to 10kva alternator
Functions: Can powered conveniently 4 one and half HP of pumping machine conveniently with some other light equipment
Average pelleting rate is 80kg per hour
It grinds soft to cooked and raw materials
Minimum price 470k excluding transportation
This is ideal for farm with capacity of up to 10,000 fishes
Fuel consumption average 1 and half hour per litre

Note: Most 195 diesel engine comes with kick starter but you buy the battery and cord plus installation fees

Giant 3 in 1 GPP is powered by 1110 diesel engine and uses between 10kva to 12kva alternator
Function: Can powered conveniently 6 one and half HP of pumping machine conveniently with some light equipment
Average pelleting rate is 150kg per hour
It grinds soft to cooked and raw material in fairly large quantity
Minimum price 550k excluding transportation
This is ideal for farm with capacity of over 10,000 fishes
Fuel consumption average 1 hour per litre

Note: 1110 diesel engine comes with kick starter but you buy the battery and battery cord plus installation fees

Super Giant 3 in 1 GPP diesel engine is powered by 1115 diesel engine and uses between 10kva to 15kva alternator
Function: Can powered conveniently 8 one and half HP of pumping machine conveniently with some light equipment
Average pelleting rate is 200kg per hour
It grinds soft to cooked and raw materials in large quantity
Minimum price 600k excluding transportation
This is ideal for farm with capacity of 15,000 fishes and above.
It is equally ideal for local feed production
Fuel consumption average 40min per litre

Advantages of 3 in 1 GPP
1. Fuel efficiency: Fuel consumption is relatively low compare to gasoline engine.
2. Flexible Design: The design is flexible and can be assemble by farmer without spending extra cost on technician.
3. Flexible Maintenance: Maintenance is equally flexible and can be routinely done by the farmer
4. Recycling of Feed Waste: Waste feed can be recycle thereby guarantee optimum utilisation of feed ingredient
5. Feed Manipulation: Farmer will be at ease to manipulate feed formulation to arrive at best formula and save cost
6. Eliminate Miscellaneous Cost: Miscellaneous cost such as transportation cost is eliminated as farmer produces feed in his/her farm
7. Feed can be prepare in quantity that is required by fish weekly thereby ensuring maximum feed rate and best FCR
8.Guarantee right percentage inclusion ingredient and elimination of sharp practices that occur in feed mill by unscrupulous feed mill
attendants
9. Space economy: 3 in 1 GPP occupies very small portion of your feedmill as every unit is assembled on a single shelf. You dont have to spent extra cost building generator house to power your equipment.
10. Mobility: 3 in 1 GPP can easily be moved from one location to another
11. Availability of parts: The parts can be obtain at nearby local store without stress of importation
12. Repairs: In the event of repairs can be carried out by qualified diesel generator technicians around you

How much do you sell the head and what is the horse power?
We dont sell only the pellet head but we can design other component if you already have your diesel engine generator

In a layman language, horse power can be describe as the strenght of an engine. Therefore most engine are categorised by the hp [strength] i.e 2hp, 5hp, etc
Agriculture › Re: Nigeria First Multipurpose Fish Feed Pelleting, Grinding And Power Generator by Ttalk(op):
All4good:
I have a 5hp petrol engine. So can you suggest a suitable size of the pellet in machine and cost.
I need only the pelleting equipment thanks.
There are three [3] main reasons that culminated in the designing of this machine

1. To save cost of production

2. To increase production output

3. Ensuring effective and efficient utilisation of resources.

It is basically design for BUSINESS FARMERS AND NOT JUST FARMER. For you to be a successful farmer, you need to inculcate business principles to save cost and increase productivity and profit.

Now to your question, it is possible to use 5hp gasoline to power the pelleting and the alternator. However, you will agree that gasoline generators are not design for rugged and long hour operation. And in order to avoid system collapse and operation breakdown that is why we choose diesel engine to drive the entire system.

I will post later in the day the cost, category and advantages of our GPP 3 in 1 Diesel Engine

Yes the solution is here, we can now take a breath of relief from the economic downturn that is hitting every sector most especially the one that is affecting us as fish farmer.

In the past few weeks we have been hit with increase in the price of feed as well as unavailability of electricity to pump water into our ponds. Feed that was sold 16months ago at N3800 is now been sold at N7,000 and above nonetheless the price of fish has remain the same. Many newbie who depend on PHCN and gasoline generator to power their farm no longer find it funny. The increase in electricity tariff couple with almost zero supply of electricity has dealt a big blow to many farms, this has equally been compounded with filling stations staff who demand additional money from gullible farmers that only need fuel for his generator. Many filling stations bluntly denied selling fuel for farmers and the one who sell collect extra money while you only get half of what you paid for. No thanks to doctored dispensing meter by cunning fuel attendants.

Just as we are trying to cope with this harsh situation, the increment in price of fuel came in and a litre of gasoline jump from 87naira to 145naira.
Purchasing power of average Nigerian shrank as the economy goes into recession with 2 consecutive quarter giving negative signs. This is indeed a trying time for business people in Nigeria. Small scale businesses are folding up while the struggling ones are making huge loss. When the time get tough the tough gets going and it take a tough mind to venture into fish farm business in Nigeria where the business terrain is very rough.

NOW THE SURVIVAL PLAN:
This economic reality has led to the development of a means of generating power and feed production for individual farm that brings about the designing of 3 in 1 grinding, pelleting and power generating system for farm. The GPP Diesel Machine can now supply your farm with the electricity to power your farm as well as serves as production unit for your fish feed you only need to tap into this innovation and you will be relieved of unnecessary expenses. It will enable you to take control of your business and makes you have a foundation to excel in fish farm.

Here i unveil for the first time in our generation a powerful 3 in 1,multipurpose locally made machine that grind, pelletise and provide power supply to your farm

Good day fellas,

Pls i would appreciate a step by step. Guide to making my own nutritious local feeds as I have seen many talk about its advantage. Ingredients and process I don't mind a typical sample that has been used before I still have 2months away before I start feeding my fishes local but if I can practice and get it right I would like to feed them. My own formulations.

I know somewhere in the thread this might have been mentioned Pls direct me to the page or share with me if available.

Thanks
I would refer you to Ab1x formula. Click on the handle and read his post you'll find the right formula to use

Summary of my formula is as follows

2mm and 3mm

Fish meal 40% [I use grinned clupeid]
Blood meal 5-10% [depends]
Soya Meal 20%
GNC 20%
Bewery Waste 5-10%[Depends]
Corn not more than 5% [Cooked Corn flour]

4mm
Fish meal 25-30%
Blood Meal 10%
Soya 20%
GNC 20%
Bewery Waste 15%
Corn not more than 10% [Cooked corn flour]

6mm and above
Fishmeal 10%
Blood Meal Ideal 13% Extreme 15%
Soya 25%
GNC 25%
Bewery Waste/Broiler Starter 10%
Corn not more than 15% [Cooked corn flour]


I include less than 500g of Lysine and Methonine and Vit C for 2mm and 3mm [Inclusion of Lysine for 2mm & 3mm is optional]
I incude between 500g and 1kg of Lysine and Methonine and Vit C for 4mm and above
I introduce palm oil from 3mm
Include 1kg salt for every 100kg formula


You can as well formulate MEDICATED FEED of 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 6mm and 8mm with the above formula you only need to add synthetics vitamins / Mineral and antibiotics
5kg of 2mm Medicated feed
5kg of 3mm Medicated feed
15kg of 4-8mm Medicated feed

The formula is for 100kg

Edited

Note: Your water management while using local formula especially on concrete pond must be optimum [Preferably every other day] to avoid outbreak of disease. This must be followed by careful planning of regular water supply to your ponds. Sorting to two ponds after the first two weeks is alright. Once you stock, there should be cover either tarpaulin or roofing. I cover my pond completely in the first month of stocking fingerlings with small portion to retain constant temperature. You might be lucky not to have temperature fluctuation at night in your location

Hello House great morning. I have been following and evetually started my pond construction of 8x16x4. Picture is attached. I was inspired by what I read hear, what I saw in my brothers farm and the abundance of magots in my present pig farm. Pls I will appreciate any criticism and advise to move this ministry to permanent site.
I intend covering the ponds with a net and also have a roof to avoid direct sun cos its always very hot here. I intend starting with 1250 juveniles with one pond only for now.
This is a very good work, may God continue to strengthen our effort. However i will advice insert pillars most especially in between the L of 16 feet to make your pond solid since you didnt bind it with iron after the second coach of block.

Where is your location sir, and you source of water supply?
