How to Increase Feed Utilization Rate and Reduce the Cost
How to Increase Feed Utilization Rate and Reduce the Cost?
In recent years, as prices have risen, feed prices have also risen. The increase in feed prices has meant increased costs for aquaculture farmers. The cost of feed is determined by the price of feed and the FCR. When the price of feed rises, how to choose high quality feed, improve feed utilization, and reduce FCR are the key point, Then in aquaculture industry How can we reduce feed costs?
Control the feeding amount
The appropriate feeding amount refers to the feeding amount when the FCR is the highest and the animals grow faster . When the feeding amount is too low, the animals are hungry and the growth slower ; if the feeding amount is too high, the feed is often excreted without complete digestion and absorption. The low feed utilization rate not only causes waste, but also causes water pollution. In aquaculture, it is advisable that each feeding amount can ensure more than 80% of fullness.
Rational control of water quality
Animals live in the water, bad water quality has direct impact to their physiology, bad water quality can affect appetite, resulting in decreased intestinal digestion function, so in the breeding process, to prevent water pollution, build good water environment, ensure the normal growth of aquacultural animal, can reduce the feed coefficient rate, saving the cost of feed.
Choose a nutritionally complete feed
At various stages of aquaculture need the feed nutrients are not the same, if we want to reduce feed costs in the breeding, the feed nutrition must meet the needs of the aquatic animals, try to be a variety of ingredients, add trace elements, don't choose the poor quality of the feed.
Good disease prevention and control
Whether the body is healthy directly affects the level of feed coefficient. In daily management work, adhere to the principle of "prevention first, prevention and treatment combined", do a good job in prevention and health care, to ensure the health of aquaculture animals.
In short, reducing the cost of feed in farming is a comprehensive work. Accurate and appropriate feed feeding is the most important part of farming technology, and it is also a key point in reducing the coefficient of feed. Improve economic efficiency in animal farming industry.
