Cost-effective feed formulation could be done by Replacing expensive protein and energy sources by locally available alternate sources; stage specific feed formulation (according to age, production status); precision feeding etc
Please refer this article for much more details.

Gizzard is a mechanical stomach which grinds the feed and makes it fine size to be easily digested by acting enzymes, enzymes from pro ventriculus and reflux from duodenum also act here on feed to digest.
Gizzard is alternative to teeth in birds.

To ensure economic viability in aquaculture, consider these key factors when selecting fish species.
– *Market Demand*: Choose species with strong market demand and potential for high returns, such as tilapia, salmon, shrimp, or catfish.
– *Growth Rate*: Fast-growing species like tilapia and salmon can help reduce production costs and increase profitability.
– *Disease Resistance*: Select species with natural disease resistance or use genetic improvements to reduce disease outbreaks and minimize losses.
– *Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)*: Species with low FCRs, like catfish, can convert feed into body protein more efficiently, reducing costs.
– *Environmental Adaptability*: Choose species that can thrive in local water conditions, reducing the need for expensive equipment or infrastructure.
– *Feed Costs*: Consider species that can utilize alternative feed sources, such as plant-based or insect-based feeds, to reduce costs.
– *Production Costs*: Calculate the total production costs, including feed, labor, and overheads, to ensure the species can be farmed profitably.
– *Scalability*: Select species that can be farmed on a large scale, taking advantage of economies of scale.
– *Regulatory Compliance*: Ensure the species complies with local regulations and standards.
– *Sustainability*: Consider the environmental impact of the species and farming methods to ensure long-term sustainability.
Some popular fish species for aquaculture include:
– *Tilapia*: Known for its fast growth rate and adaptability to different environments.
– *Salmon*: Prized for its high nutritional value and strong market demand.
– *Shrimp*: A highly valued species for its taste and nutritional benefits.
– *Catfish*: A popular species due to its low production costs and high feed conversion ratio.
– *Rohu and Catla*: Popular species in India, suitable for freshwater aquaculture.
By considering these factors and species, aquaculture farmers can increase their chances of economic success and contribute to sustainable food production.To ensure economic viability in aquaculture, consider these key factors when selecting fish species.

Any water you know you can’t take please don’t give your birds
-
Feeding during the early hours and late hours when temperature is low,also provide proper ventilation and a cooling system
-
feed efficiency can be improved by:
proper storage of feed,
avoiding wastage of feed,
proper management ,
temperature, humidity, ventilation fulfilling,
maintenance of gut health of broiler,
feed grams per day as per breed company recommendations,

What is the most important concern for dairy farms?
-
Proper housing is vital in dairy farming to protect cows from weather, prevent disease, ensure comfort, and improve overall health, leading to increased milk production, better fertility, and enhanced welfare. Key aspects of good housing include protection from extreme temperatures and predators, adequate ventilation, clean and comfortable bedding, and easy access to food and water, all of which reduce stress and support efficient farm operations.

The shelf life of refined soybean oil is generally 6 months to 1 year, though it can vary by brand and storage conditions. Proper storage in a cool, dry, dark place, away from heat and light, is crucial to maintaining quality and preventing spoilage, which can manifest as a sharp smell, bitter taste, or discoloration.
