Use industrial feed for commercial snakehead fish

Production of industrial feed for snakehead fish replacements for fresh bait fish is a successful research project and put into production by Mr. Vu Quang Le - A Au Commercial Joint Stock Company in Sa town industrial park Đéc, Đồng Tháp Province.

Mr. Lech said that the practice of snakehead fish farming from the past to the present mainly feed on fresh bait are two types of sea fish and freshwater fish. If the dry season, food for snakehead fish is very expensive and not profitable.

Especially, raising snakehead fish with fresh bait faces many difficulties such as polluting the environment, water sources, destroying aquatic resources increasingly exhausted, costly care workers should only raise small quantities from 3- 5 tons / pond, the quality of fish is not good, fishy smell, fat accumulation; disease occurs difficult to handle; The price is high, not active in food, especially in the dry season.

Before this situation, Mr. Lech has researched and successfully processed protein-rich industrial feed to grow commercial snakehead fish for high economic efficiency, cheaper cost than food with fresh bait.

Snakehead

If raising 1kg of commercial snakehead fish with live feed, it will cost 4.2kg of feed, while industrial feed only costs 1.35kg, reducing VND4,470 / kg of finished fish, next to medicine only 50% compared to conventional farming; The cost of electricity, water and public is only 60%.

The thing that Mr. Lech is very interested in is using industrial feed for snakehead fish that is less polluted than raising with live bait fish by floating pellets for 30 minutes so the fish eats all the food.

When mass production of industrial feed replaces fresh bait fish, it will further reduce capture fisheries according to the current destructive way, and be proactive in the source of food and actively develop snakehead fish farming without obeying. seasonal, facilitating farmers in large quantities.

Snakehead fish meat is of better quality, more fragrant, solid meat, less fat, meeting domestic consumers' demand and proceeding to export. Currently, every year he produces more than 5,000 tons of industrial feed rich in snakehead fish farming.

Snakehead fish farming only relies on natural bait fish, only one crop can be grown in the flood season. Industrial food is the best problem of raising year-round snakehead fish and raising production.

Sticking with snakehead fish farming for more than 10 years, Mr. Cao Xuan Toan, residing in Tan Khanh Trung commune, Lap Vo district, said excitedly after testing with Vu Quang's pelleted food for nearly four months for the brand. good fruit, fast growing fish, less sick, survival rate reaches 70% and reduce investment costs from 25-30% compared to traditional breeding snakehead as before, while shortening time compared to raising average usually from 1 to 1.5 months.

Moreover, the important factor is that fish farming by industrial pellets will be proactive in food sources, so it is safe to expand the farming area.

With the benefits brought from the research topic of producing commercial snakehead fish feed to replace snakehead fish farming practices, Mr. Vu Quang has won the B Prize of Technical Innovation Contest of The province in 2011 and was awarded a certificate of merit by the Provincial People's Committee for its outstanding achievements in the emulation movement of creative labor among workers and employees, in the 2007-2012 period.
