Making farm-made fish feed for small-scale farms
Fish feed/aquafeed is one of the most expensive inputs for small aquaculture farms. At the same time, it is very important to have a well-balanced feed. This practice describes different kinds of fish feed with step by step description on the preparation of fish feed. Two simple recipes for a balanced fish feed containing 30 percent of crude protein are described. The first formulation is made with proteins of vegetable origin, mainly soybean meal. The second formulation is mainly made with fishmeal.
