Here to gonna be saying what is integrated fish farming? well, it is nothing but raising fishes along with other livestock where the manure of livestock is being used for fish food. In this type of fish farming, the fish feed is provided from other livestock litter either directly or indirectly. As we already that the poultry farming in rural and urban areas is increasing rapidly since poultry has good demand. The best and suitable fishes for integrated fish and poultry farming are those fishes that can filter and feed on phytoplankton and zooplankton and bacteria from pond water.
In integrated fish farming cutler silver carp rohu fishers are recommended. Poultry excretor is an excellent feed for fishers. This manure contains highly soluble organic salts no nitrogen and phosphorus. You can integrate both broiler layer or dual-purpose chicken in the system. To manage one-hectare fish pond 500 to 600 birds and on average 50 to 60 kilograms of poultry manure is required per day. Apart from meat and egg production poultry manure is another source of income for poultry farmers.
One can utilize this nutrient-rich manure in aquaculture for a better conversion rate than agriculture. Fish ponds can be built along with poultry house shed for better accessibility of chicken droppings. Integrated fish and poultry farming you should provide poultry manure in the pond for intense zooplankton development since chicken manure has excellent fertilizer value of the nutrients. This manure directly helps for a dense bloom of microalgae. The zooplankton comes with an extra food supply in the kind of bacteria.
Which flourish on the organic portion of the supplied poultry dung along with phytoplankton and zooplankton. There is high production of detritus at the pond bottom which provides the substrate for colonization of microorganisms and other benthic fauna particularly the chironomid larvae. Another addition probably be macro vegetation feeder grass carp which in the absence of microphytes could be fed on green cattle fodder is grown on the pond embankments. The semidigested excretor of this fish forms the meals of bottom feeders.
