Catfish farming is increasingly becoming an attractive form of agriculture for many Nigerians especially young people. This form of agriculture has found a huge followers-base primarily due to the relative ease of culturing catfish, the readily available markets for catfish, such as restaurants. Especially as catfish is a treasured delicacy among many Nigerian cultures as well as the profitability of a successful catfish venture.
The demand for Catfish in Nigeria is unprecedented so much that no matter the quantity supplied into the market is consumed by ready buyers. This is so because of its low caloric value, low carbohydrate content, high in protein, low in fat, it is quick and easy to prepare and above all, it tastes great.

Useful Guidance For Catfish Farming In Nigeria
Before venturing into catfish farming, it is pertinent to take a number of factors into consideration for success.
Quality of Fingerlings: Catfish fingerlings are of different breeds, just like other species of animals. It is important that the catfish farmer takes his time to identify fast-growing and disease resistant breeds of fingerlings to ensure profitability in a catfish venture. This can be done through appropriate consultation with a specialist in fingerlings and physically evaluating fingerlings from several farms before making a pick on the stock of fingerlings.

Pond Design: Stocking density plays a huge role in the growth rate of cultured catfish. Like for all other animals over-crowding catfish would increase competition for resources like food and oxygen. This can promote the growth of some fish at the expense of others and in the end lead to cannibalism. Therefore the catfish farmer would want to consider an appropriate length, breadth, and depth of the pond, depending on his intended number of fishes to the stock pond. Also pond design should incorporate provision for the separation of fishes in the event that growth is non-proportionate to avoid cannibalism. Water management for pond would mean periodic changing of water and pond design should incorporate this from the outset to avoid challenges.
fish feed pellets
Feeding Catfish:Feeding constitutes the bulk of the cost of rearing catfish. Through the development of fish farming over the years in Nigeria, feeding of catfish is predominantly done using pelleted floating feeds. This ensures adequate feeding of the fish thus increased growth rate and weight.

For making more profits in aquaculture and fish farming business, Nigeria fish farmers need to cut down fish feed cost because it occupies a big part in the whole production chain. Today, let’s discuss the way for Nigerian to use local raw materials to make fish feed pellets for lowering feed cost. fish feed machine The Significance O f Using Local Fish Feed Raw Material As the fastest growing food production industry in the world, aquaculture , and fish farming industry in Nigeria also plays an important part in delivering high - quality proteins to the market, so lowering the feed cost – main cost factor in aquaculture has great significance and value in stimulating the development of aquaculture. Meanwhile, with high price and unstable supply, imported fish feed has always restricted the development of Nigeria fish farming. Furthermore, from the perspective of environment and economy, people should focus on using local feed ingredients to produce nutr...
Sludge briquette machine recycles the sludge by briquetting them for blast furnaces. sludge briquette machine Damage O f T he S ludge The steel making process makes a lot of sludge (about 8 to 12% of the steel production), such as the blast furnace sludge, gas sludge, steel rolling sludge, steel rolling iron oxide scale, sintering dust, steel pipe graphite sludge, etc. Get rid of these sludge will help the plant to reduce the cost of the product and prevent pollution. The sludge needs a lot of file s to be placed and will sink into the soil with the rain, change the content of the soil , and even with heavy metal. sludge process The I ngredient O f T he S ludge The main ingredient of the sludge is usually iron oxide and calcium oxide, i t also contains oxides such as silica, magnesia, and alumina, which further may contain zinc oxide and lead oxide, depending on the type of scrap used. These ingredients will fluctuate with chang...
