How To Develop Catfish Cultivation Enterprises To Succeed

The development of catfish cultivation is getting more and more in the interest of this in because of the growing market demand that increasingly widespread, but also catfish is one type of fish that is easy enough for the breed.

Catfish not only can be utilized for processed food there are also some benefits of catfish farming one of them is if the catfish is placed in place of puddles of water that many of these mosquito larvae can reduce mosquito larva.

How To Develop Catfish Cultivation Enterprises

1. Phase preparation pool

Types of ponds that are used in catfish can use a pool of soil, plastic and better use a pond made of cement walls, before the catfish is inserted into the pond to do cultivation ponds should first be dried for 3-7 days before the pond in water content it aims to kill bacteria which will not be good for catfish.

After the drying process is done next thing is the filling of water in the pond as high as 30-40 cm, let stand for approximately 7 days until the water is mossy and has grown in plangton.

2. Selection of seeds

There are several stages in the selection of catfish seeds so that the results can be maximized, the error in the selection of catfish seeds will result in the results can not be maximized this is one of the factors that cause catfish crop failure.

The selected catfish seed must be really good and healthy, the catfish seeds are not good and the disease is less than optimal growth, the characteristics of good and healthy catfish seed characteristics:

a.Size uniform and brightly colored (rubbed)

b. Lively and agile movements

c. No defects and no injuries on his body

d. Free from disease seeds

e. Body position in normal water means not floating up

f. Overcome and resist current when given the current

g. Appetite is high

h. Not easy to stress

In the cultivation of catfish enlargement should use a minimum size of 5-7 Cm, not too small, for beginners are also advisable as it is because this size is resistant to disease and most likely will be a uniform large although later also must use the sorting system.

3. Distribution of catfish seedlings

In the process of spreading the seeds of catfish should be done according to the conditions listed above that is when the water is mossy and has grown plangton this can happen during the process 7 days or more from the beginning of the process of filling the water, seed stocking should be done in the morning or better again in the afternoon this is done to keep the temperature in the pool can remain stable.

Unstable pool temperature conditions will cause the catfish to experience stress and death, the catfish is also very fond of a cold place if the water in the pond is not cold can also be given ice beams that enter into the pool whenever possible.

One effort to prevent and treat disease in fish seeds before stocking is to soak the seeds with antibiotic solution, such as oxytetrasicline (OTC), Tetracycline, and supertetra as much as 1 teaspoon / 10 liters for 15 minutes, use to anticipate disease attached to the skin or gills .

4. Feeding catfish

In addition to the main feed, occasionally also need to provide additional food. Additional feeding helps to save the expense of feeding that drains the bag.

If our pond is close to the fish auction, consideration may be given to fresh trash fish. Trash fish is the result of a fish catch from the sea that is unfit for human consumption due to size or defect in its capture. Can also make a maggot from a mixture of tofu pulp.

Conch and chicken waste can be given by processing first. Processing can be done by boiling. Then separate the golden snail meat with its shell, then chopped. To waste the chicken clean the feathers before feeding on the catfish.

One thing to consider in providing catfish feed, do not get late or less. Because catfish has a cannibal nature, which likes to prey on the like. In case of shortage of feed, larger fish size will prey on smaller fish.

5. Cultivation period of catfish

Catfish can be harvested after reaching the size of 9-12 heads per kg. The size of it can be achieved within 2.5-3.5 months of seeds measuring 5-7 cm. In contrast to domestic consumption, catfish for export purposes usually reaches a size of 500 grams per head.

One day (24 hours) before harvest, catfish should not be fed so as not to remove dirt when transported. At the time the catfish harvested do sorting to separate the catfish by size. Size separation impacts the price. Catfish that have been sorted based on size will increase income for farmers.

Perhaps in some factors in the field there are several different in this method but in the outline how to develop catfish farming is not much different, the most excellent and sure lesson is to try straight away do not be afraid to fail before acting.

 Although already many who have done this catfish business but the opportunity to open a catfish farming business is still very wide open.
