Good day Doc Nemo,
i have a couple of important inquiries which i found that you are the resourceful person that can help me...which are as follows:
1st. i started last february a tilapia fishponds for almost 2000 square meters in our private area which has the nature of being swampy. we have no problem of water as it always rain there which makes the area always have water. my query is, we put atleast 10,000 fingerlings last feb, and this month, we found out that there are other fishes eating the fingerlings like "halwan" and "heto"...so they decided to drain the pond at this moment. got some of the halwan and heto but stil in doubt that not all. IS THERE ANY EFFECTIVE MEANS TO TOTALLY GET RID OF THEM? or if none, do i really need to worry of their existence while culturing tilapia? another question, besides breadcrumbs, what is the alternative feeds to add on so that the tilapia will start to grow faster and always not hide in the bottom of the pond during feeding time?
2nd. we raised native chickens since last year with 8 hens starting, but i noticed that the flock havent had grown faster in population as often times during the early days of teh chicks they died as they just walk with their mother...so i put a cage for them to have a shelter and get those chicks has a heatlamp...but lately, those rats are starting to attacked our chickens...we put rat traps but still doesnt get rid of the problem...is there any way how to get those chicks have high survival? pls give me any tips.thanks
3rd. we have 7 sows and recently 5 had given birth...whichhas 41 piglets at this moment..whch means our feeds consumption increases as some of them will be for roasting sizes before to sell..is there any feeds alternatives that i can possibly used to minimise the expenses please?,,,thanks alot...
have a nice day..hope to hear from you soon.
