FISH FEED COST REDUCTION

2011-12-09T16:28:00.000+01:00

Fish Feed constitute about 70% of total recurrent cost in fish farming. this is so because of the high cost of fish meal (the major protein source).
It therefore means that reduction in the quantity of fish meal utilised will result in lowered cost of the feed.
Norgem Nigeria Limited is offering a product called Meramet Plus.
Addition of this to the feed requires less fish meal inclusion ratio in fish feed composition.
Please Call Mr Ayorinde Arogbodo on 08023060727 for details on this

CAGE CULTURE ON OPEN WATERS

2009-03-21T09:19:00.002+01:00

The commercial culture of fish in open waters using cages has been determined to be a veritable means of fish culture as the fish is reared in its natural; environment and because of the activity of water currents waste produced by the fish is ''carried'' and this ensures that the culture medium (water body) maintains constant optimal water quality, thus ensuring that the fish attains large sizes within shortest possible period.
The system also allows the culture of other species of fish other than catfish. We successfully cultured Tilapia, Chrysichthys (silver catfish i.e obokun).
If you are interested in further information, please call me.

Fish marketing:Getting the right price for your table size fish

2008-12-06T10:17:00.005+01:00

Many farmers have actually taken pains to produce fish utilising best practice (though the industry is not regulated)and this means higher production costs (using formulated feeds both imported and local as against using trash like maggot and dead chicken pigs etc)
It is however appalling that after this effort a pack of middle men or is it middle women will rubbish the product hoping to stampede the farmer to selling at a ridiculous figure so that the volume of profit they stand to make is increased.
The following tips might be helpful in getting the right price for the products.

Ensure that through good aquaculture practices your fish attains a minimum of 1kg
Ensure that your fish is healthy at the time of sales
Make certain to arrange for more than enough buyers for the products so the law of demand and supply will be to your advantage
Do not budge to pressure from the buyers to downshift on your fixed sales price which must be in line with prevailing rates
Agree with the buyers on the price before emtying ponds. You may get samples for them to examine should they want to see size of the fish.
Never show that you are desperate to sell even if you are.

I hope these few tips will help in increasing the cash flow from products sales.
Call me me for a list of buyers in Lagos State.

ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR MANAGING A FISH FARM FOR PROFIT PART 1

2008-11-07T09:08:00.005+01:00

ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR MANAGING A FISH FARM FOR PROFIT

Everyone engages in one form of business or the other principally to make profits even NGO’s with free funds from donor agencies have specific areas towards which this funds are applied and targets (which forms the profit for this types of organisations) are set to be achieved.
The same goes for the aquaculture fish farming business. The common targets for an aquaculture based business could be “achieving the highest (numerical and weight) crop yield (fish) per unity area of pond”. It is the total number and total weight of fish harvested that determines the profit margin of the business.
It must however be said that certain simple management regimes must be put in place to ensure that these targets are achieved.
I will attempt to explain this in this discussion as usual comments from operators are welcomed.

TIP 1 STOCKING:
Quality of Fingerlings/Juveniles
It is important to know that the quality of the juvenile (young fish) stocked has direct effect on the quality of fish to be harvested.
Therefore any good farmer will ensure that he buys or produces the best quality fingerlings/juveniles for stoking production ponds. Unfortunately mere looking at fingerlings/juveniles will not tell you if it will perform (translate food to flesh) in the pond during the production process.
A farmer wanting to procure fingerlings/juveniles should ensure that the pedigree of the producer is fully ascertained.

Quantity of fingerlings/juveniles
Ponds have carrying capacities or stocking density that is the number of fish/unit area of pond. This also depends on the type of system employed.
EATHEN PONDS: 10 and 40 fingerlings/juveniles per unit area.
FLOW THROUGH SYSTEM: 100 fingerlings/juveniles per unit area
RE-CIRCULATORY SYSTEM: 350 fingerlings/juveniles per unit area
An attempt to hold beyond this may result in overcrowding which will result in competition and it’s attendant adverse effects.

Tip 2 JUVENILE ACLAMATISATION
Before stocking fish, water temperature in the fingerlings tank must be the same as the pond water. This can be done by placing juveniles and transportation media (containers) into the production ponds. This allows temperature of pond water that of water in the transportation media to become same the young fish is allowed to swim out into the pond. Sharp temperature variation can lead to thermal shock, which is lethal to catfish

TIP 3 SORTING:
Catfish grow differentially as a result of varied genetic quality of the fish species. Fish start to have their varied genetic quality from egg stage (From different egg sizes) through hatching stage till maturity into adult hood. Therefore, the differential growth pattern becomes evident once fish is stocked. These phenomenon, which cause the emergence of oversized fish (shooters) among their peers predispose fish stock to cannibalism.
The situation can thus, be well managed through sorting (every fortnight) for the first two months.
Shooters are separated from the stock.

Look out for concluding part.

Are You a Consultant, Proffessional: Note; Great Service Is a Choice

2008-09-25T12:43:00.010+01:00

Great Service Is a Choice

I got this mail. it answered a lot of questions about business growth and i thougt to share it here.
(Excerpt from The Simple Truths of Service)
No one can make you serve customers well. That's because great service is a choice. Years ago, my friend, Harvey Mackay, told me a wonderful story about a cab driver that proved this point. He was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing Harvey noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for Harvey. He handed my friend a laminated card and said: "I'm Wally, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like you to read my mission statement." Taken aback, Harvey read the card. It said: Wally's Mission Statement: To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.
This blew Harvey away. Especially when he noticed that the inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean! As he slid behind the wheel, Wally said, "Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos of regular and one of decaf." My friend said jokingly, "No, I'd prefer a soft drink." Wally smiled and said, "No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, water and orange juice." Almost stuttering, Harvey said, "I'll take a Diet Coke."
Handing him his drink, Wally said, "If you'd like something to read, I have The Wall Street Journal, Time, Sports Illustrated and USA Today." As they were pulling away, Wally handed my friend another laminated card. "These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you'd like to listen to the radio." And as if that weren't enough, Wally told Harvey that he had the air conditioning on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for him. Then he advised Harvey of the best route to his destination for that time of day. He also let him know that he'd be happy to chat and tell him about some of the sights or, if Harvey preferred, to leave him with his own thoughts. "Tell me, Wally, " my amazed friend asked the driver, "have you always served customers like this?" Wally smiled into the rear-view mirror. "No, not always. In fact, it's only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time
complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard the personal growth guru, Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day. He had just written a book called You'll See It When You Believe It. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you'll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, 'Stop complaining! Differentiate yourself from your competition. Don't be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.'"
"That hit me right between the eyes," said Wally. "Dyer was really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other cabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more." "I take it that has paid off for
you," Harvey said. "It sure has," Wally replied. "My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I'll probably quadruple it. You were lucky to get me today. I don't sit at cabstands anymore. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answering machine. If I can't pick them up myself, I get a reliable cabbie friend to do it and I take a piece of the action." Wally was phenomenal. He was running a limo
service out of a Yellow Cab. I've probably told that story to more than fifty cab drivers over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told me all the reasons they couldn't do any of what I was suggesting.

Johnny the Bagger and Wally the Cab Driver made a different choice. They decided to stop quacking like ducks .0and start soaring like eagles.

Have you wondered why your business has not gone to the next level in terms of the number of clients or accounts you are handling, why not look at yourself your disposition and how you approach your job/business.
think on these.

INTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICE OR GOOD AQUACULTURE PRACTICES

2008-09-23T14:01:00.004+01:00

In our world of today we hear of a common term like ”global village” this to me means that the entire world has become one big community in which case what goes on in one country ultimately affect the goings in another country.
Hitherto we had always practiced aquaculture in ”our own way” feeding unconvetional feed to fish so as to reduce production cost and amplify profit.
However with the recent increase in local production and the need to export fish particularly catfish (Clarias gariepinus) to E.U nations, it has become imperative to standardise fish culture in line with what obtains in these nations so as to gain certification.
Lets discuss how does Best Practice become an every day occurence on our farms and not a strange concept.
The overall aim of this discuss is to make the entire world accept our Fish and Fish products.

''AFTER 6 MONTHS CULTURE PERIOD MY FISH ARE VERY SMALL''

2008-09-23T08:47:00.006+01:00

This is a very familiar comment from most farmers when they are selling fish. Most are quick to say oh its thie useless runts that was supplied to me at the time of stocking.
However a number of factiors are responsible for this poor result,

Water (Ph, Dissolved oxygen level, presence of iron (III), organic load (amonia, nitrate and nitrite levels
Feed Quality and quantity served
Fingerling/juvenile quality and quantity stocked.

Digest this for now. I will explain all these in my next post. watch out.

Do fish farmers make profits as being touted?

2008-09-22T08:34:00.006+01:00

A good number of people have asked me " What is the profit level or returns on investment from fish farming".
I am always not too quick to answer this question though i have a figure from experience but i also know that the variables that affect returns on investment from fish farming business vary and may depend on the following:

1. Technical know how of the farmer/farm manager.
2. Available infrastructure
3. System efficiency.
4, Fingerling/juvenile selection.
5. Brood stock selection.
6. Feed and feeding regime.
7. Marketing strategy
8. Predator controll

This list is not exaustive and it goes a long way to show that so many factors need to be adressed before you can actualy make profit from fish farming and the ability or the extent to which all these factors are optimized will determine the level of profitability.
Many farmers have been given figures in percentages as the expected profit margins from fish farming and this was the basis for investment decisions. for most of these farmers the result at the end of the culture period is sometimes far less tha the expected profit level.
While some will break even and a fewer number actualy make good profits.

So if you are a fish farmer what has your experience been like? Is catfish farming actualy a profitable venture?

Reactions are welcomed.
