Catfish farming eats animal feed, which can provide cooked pig blood, silkworm chrysalis, water earthworm and other feeds at seedling stage, and feed chicken intestines, fish and shrimp, loach, bread worm and other feeds twice a day, and the single feeding amount is 8% of the body weight. Pay attention to cleaning food residues regularly when feeding underwater to avoid polluting water quality.

What feed does catfish culture eat?

Cultured catfish mainly provide animal feed, and the choice of feed is different at different stages of catfish growth. In the seedling stage, catfish can be provided with feed such as water earthworm, pig blood, fish meal and silkworm pupa. Pig blood should be cooked before it can be used, and adult catfish can be provided with animal offal, fish and shrimp, loach and other feeds.

How to feed catfish

Feed catfish twice a day, in the morning and evening respectively, and the single feeding amount is 5% ~ 8% of the total weight of catfish. It is best to let catfish finish eating within 3-4 hours, and adjust the feeding amount every half month to avoid the phenomenon of catfish hunger and uneven satiety.

Matters needing attention in catfish breeding

In the process of feeding catfish, the method of underwater feeding can be adopted, but after feeding for 6 hours, the food residue in the pond should be removed in time to avoid polluting the water quality, and in the feeding process, it is best to choose pellet feed instead of providing indigestible food to avoid catfish suffering from gastrointestinal diseases.
