How to Lower the Water Quality Pollution from Fish Feed

Currently, the intensive aquaculture industry has two obvious characteristics: high-density releasing fingerlings and feeding fish with a large quantity of artificial formula feed. As is well known, artificial compound aqua feed is the primary nutritional source of intensive aquaculture, however, the heavy use of manufactured fish feed is also one of main reasons that cause the pollution of aquatic water. In order to figure out the pollution problem of feed, people must control the source of pollution from a nutritional point of view, aiming at achieving the goal of green aquaculture.



Control the proportion of feed ingredients properly
When making the compound fish feed, some feed manufacturers always only consider the quantity demand for protein of aquatic culture animals, but they ignore the demand for energy of aquatic animals, adding plenty of fish meal would lead to high phosphorus and high nitrogen, becoming the major reason of pollution. So when designing fish feed formulation, they need to promote energy content of aqua feed and reduce protein content suitably, thereby alleviating the nitrogen pollution level caused by high protein nutrition.

 Improve the biological value of protein 
The massive nitrogenous substance, excreted by aquatic animals, is also a main factor leading to water body environment pollution, and these nitrogenous substances mainly come from undigested crude protein and amino acid in fish feed. Thus, adopting ideal protein mode can improve the balance status of all kinds of amino acid in protein, enhance the biological utilization value of protein, effectively lower the level of crude protein in aquatic feed, promote the use ratio of nitrogen in feed, and reduce the excretion volume of nitrogen in excrement. This can not only save vast natural protein fish feed resource, but also ease the degree of nitrogen pollution to environment caused by intensive aquaculture.

 Fair using addition agent
The fair use of some addition agent, to some extent, could improve the quality and flavor of fish feed, promote the ingestion of aquatic animals, increase operation rate of fish feed, and then mitigate the pollution degree to water body environment.

Improve processing technic
Fish feed producing technology (such as grinding, mixing, extruding and so on) can affect the avaliability of aquatic animals feed nutrient, so when producing fish feed, people should adopt the corresponding processing technologies to make high quality fish feed suitable for fish to eat and digest, according to the various life habits, diverse growth stage and physiological function of different kinds of fishes.
At present, it is the inevitable tendency for feeding stuff industry and aquaculture industry healthy growth by developing aqua feed with low pollution, and it is also the precondition to relieve the vicious circle between aquaculture and environment and produce pollution-free aquatic products. All in all, the application of fish feed with low pollution will become the development direction of aquaculture industry in future.

 Choose advanced machine
The fish feed making machine plays a quite significant role in producing high quality fish feed without pollution. For example, aqua feed made by FANWAY fish feed extruder has the following several obvious advantages: high water stability, convenient to control feed density, uneasy to smash and more healthful.

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
