Nutritional Tilapia Feed Manufacturing Process

Nutritionally complete, dry extruded feed (although extruded feeds are more expensive than compressed feeds of the same formulation, their advantages allow them to be significantly more economically efficient) should satisfy the nutrient requirements for the different life stages of tilapia, so feed manufacturers should pay much more attention to raw materials you are using, machines for making fish feed and feed production technology.

 The proper extrusion of the raw material and the balanced formulation of nutrients improve the tilapia production till harvesting. High growth rate and low feed conversions improve the economical/financial results of the fish farmers.
★ Protein source: soybean meal; corn gluten meal (60% crude protein); soybean meal; fish meal (good quality fish meals contain crude protein levels above 66%, being an excellent source of highly digestible protein); fish hydrosylate; oil cake (it contains relatively high protein percentages-≥20%- and always considered as protein supplement); skim milk powder; legumes; wheat gluten.
★ Energy feedstuffs: corn and wheat bran
★ Lipid source: fish oil, due to its high content of essential fatty acids, is used as a main lipid source in fish feeds. In recent years, because of increase of fish oil price, tilapia feed manufacturers are searching for alternative lipid sources originating from plants-vegetable oils from canola, sunflower, and linseed-to reduce production costs. 
★ Carbohydrate source: most of the carbohydrates are of plant origin. For tilapia feeds in Asia, the carbohydrate/energy source is largely dependent on locally available feedstuff.
★ Vitamin & Mineral source

tilapia feed crusher → tilapia feed mixer → wet type fish feed extruder → tilapia feed dryer → tilapia feed cooler → tilapia feed packager

 All kinds of tilapia feed ingredients are mixed in feed mixer to ensure evenness. After mixing, high-efficiency extruder will extrude feed powder into pellets. Fanway Fertilizer Machinery manufacturers 2 kinds of extruder machine: dry type and wet type. There is a little different between them. To know more, please click: Fish Feed Extruder for Fish Farmers to Produce Quality Feed.

 To lower high moisture and temperature, tilapia feed pellets need to be dried. Hot tilapia pellets are soft and easily broken, which can result in a high percentage of fines, which is the reason that fish farmers should cool them after dried. Tilapia feed manufacturing process has been clearly introduced before. Please visit: fish feed production line to learn more about the process and related fish feed machines.

Common Fish Diseases & Caused Reasons

图片
There are literally hundreds of afflictions that can effect the health of farm fish. The most common maladies seen in home aquaculture production are usually either bacterial, parasitic, or viral diseases in origin. Fungal infections are also sometimes seen, and occasionally physical ailments. Common Fish Diseases & Symptoms in Freshwater Cultured Fish 1. Bacterial Disease Bacterial diseases are caused by the infection of bacteria in fish body. Bacterial hemorrhagic disease is most likely to harm grass carp. In early stage of illness, fish will show signs of bleeding, which usually occurs in the fin base, gill cover, mouth and lower jaw, if it continues to develop the fish body will have bleeding, the abdomen will be expanding, and red spots will appear at liver and kidney. While Gill rot disease is most likely to harm grass carp and common carp. In early stage of illness, the fish will loss of appetite, the head will go black with increased mucus, if it continues to develop

Fish Feed Extrusion Process with Extruder Machine

图片
Fish Feed Extrusion Process Origin The early-stage extrusion processing was mainly used in food processing industry. Since the nineteen fifties, America had started to use this technology for feed processing field, especially for processing pet food and pretreatment of feed ingredients. Till the nineteen eighties, it has become the fastest developing technique of feed processing industry in the world, and has started to be applied in each sphere of feeding stuff industry, widely used for dry pet foods, some applications for livestock feed and fish feed. With the unceasing development of technology and the continuous rising of people living standard, the growth of aquaculture must follow the principle of producing green food without pollution, bringing significant attention and lots of intensive study on  aqua feed production technology . And there is a consensus that adopting  extrusion process to make fish feed   is the major means to ensure producing high quality and safe aquatic

Prospect of Catfish Farming in Nigeria

图片
Catfish is a high density aquaculture industry in Nigeria , the yield is more than 5000kg per acre. That means pure profit of breeding catfish is generally remained between $900,000-1,200,000 per acre. Furthermore, catfish growth cycle is short, basically in 80 days -90 days, it can culture two quarters a year. Nigeria is a country with an estimated population of over 160 million people, and this population is estimated to overtake that of the United states by year 2050. Now what does this mean for catfish farmers? The truth behind this statistics is that there is a ready market for fish and the demand for fish cannot be met by local producers alone. Catfish is one of the cheapest sources of protein and a best substitute for meat. It is a delicacy and can be bought fresh whole, fillets strips or smoked no mater how it is processed for sale catfish farming is very lucrative. Delta state government in Nigeria said four big fish feed factory is under construction, the proje
