Principles of fish feeding
Fish feeding in pond farms is based on the fact that with natural feed from reservoirs they are also able to consume a special feed for fish. The using of high-grade feeds of brand «Feed&Life» ensures maximum fish productivity, reduces feed consumption for weight gain and preserves fish health.
Combined fodder should be introduced from the moment the water temperature reaches 12-14°C, and with a developed natural feed base - from 15-18°C. Fish feeding daily rates depend on the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the water. When the content is reduced to 2,5 mg / l, the ration should be reduced by half. And when the oxygen level is less than 1,5 mg / l, it is better to stop feeding completely.
Balanced composition of fish feed
Fry of carp fish species needs a good balanced ration. The composition of fish feed includes several groups of components:
- oil cake;
- bean flour;
- elements of animal origin.
In the warm season, young fish of the carp family are recommended to give protein-enriched feed. With a decrease in temperature, carbohydrate-enriched feeds are the most suitable.
Correct mode of fish feeding
The best effect from the fish feed using is observed with a moderate feeding mode. Fish should be fed with combined fodder at least 2 times a day (morning and afternoon) during all days of the week.
As fish quickly get used to a certain type of feeding, the replacement of one species by another is carried out gradually. For this, a new feed is gradually added to the old feed mixture.
