So viewers, as we earlier said in this video, today we will be weighing our catfish
0:43
There are actually one month since we brought them into our farm
0:49
So we decided to weigh them on our digital scale in order to determine their weight, feet impact and growth pattern
0:58
From the observed number of grams, our catfish are actually having a good weight
1:11
This is because we respected a certain number of criteria required for their well and rapid growth So as you can see our catfish are weighing above 250 to 300 grams
1:37
Some of these criteria which have contributed to the rapid growth of our catfish can be a
1:47
contributed to the fact that a catfish is first of all an easy farmed animal which adapts itself to warm climate, leading to inexpensive and safe food at local rosas
2:10
Moreover, the African mothfish or catfish can survive harsh environment conditions as they are highly tolerant to stress
2:25
In addition, we have been able to provide them more space, given the fact that the bigger the
2:34
spacing the bigger and faster the growth So viewers again we have been able to be able to to fit our catfish with major ingredients used in producing their feed
2:54
These major ingredients include soyabin meal, cotton seed meal, corn and bi-products and wheat bi-products
3:10
So viewers, it should be noted that we do feed our catfish twice to three times a day, which is between 2% and 5% of their body weight
3:29
Above all, we have been able to maintain an optimum water quality which has guaranteed us a high growth rate of our catfish
3:40
The water quality is necessary because dissolved oxygen is adequate. Dissolve carbon dioxide is low
3:51
P.H is normal. Dissolve nutrients are present at a require concentration in our pond
3:59
In other words we have tried to maintain an optimum water temperature For the proper growth of our catfish we have been able to maintain a temperature of about
4:15
26 degrees Celsius to 36 degrees Celsius. As the African fish catfish has this particular temperature. recommendations
4:37
Moreover, viewer, when water temperature in the phone is consistently between 16 degrees
4:47
Celsius and 26 degrees Celsius, feet intake reduces and fish growth rates also drags
4:54
tremendous things. So, viewers, it is important to master your water

temperature in order to determine the growth of your catfish. Thanks for watching, please
