Boost Fish Farming Profits: Make Protein-Rich Feed at Home, Says KVK Expert
•Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Janjgir-Champa, advises farmers on preparing cost-effective, protein-rich fish feed at home.
•A balanced diet is crucial for better fish production, health, and higher profits in aquaculture.
•Farmers can combine 30-35% oil cake (mustard or groundnut) with 65-70% rice bran to create a feed with 18-20% protein.
•Adding market-available vitamin and mineral mixtures further enhances the nutritional value of the homemade feed.
•Consistent feeding at fixed locations in the pond (e.g., 8-9 spots in a one-acre pond using jute bags) is recommended for optimal consumption and fish habit formation.
