Vibration analysis, thermal imaging, and oil analysis are some of the most effective predictive maintenance technologies for reducing unexpected downtime in pellet mills and mixers.

1- What is the ideal DO level in the pond?

The ideal DO level should be maintained above 5.0 mg/L (parts per million).

2- Why does DO level fluctuate during the day?

It fluctuates because phytoplankton, along with the cultured organisms, produce oxygen during the day (photosynthesis) but consume it at night (respiration).

3- What are the main causes of low DO?

The main causes are high biomass respiration at night, overfeeding, and the decomposition of a sudden algal crash.

4- What are the symptoms of low DO in ponds?

Fish and shrimp exhibit lethargy, reduced feeding, and gather at the surface (gasping) or near aerators.

5- How can DO be improved or maintained?

DO is primarily improved by running mechanical aerators to transfer oxygen from the air into the water.

6- What is the best aeration strategy?

The best strategy is to run aerators continuously from sunset to sunrise and strategically during the day for circulation.

7- When is DO most critical in the ponds?

DO is most critical in the early morning (just before sunrise) when it reaches its lowest point.

8- What is / are right timing/s of checking DO in the pond?

The most crucial timing is just before sunrise (to check the minimum level) and again in the mid-afternoon (to check the maximum level).

9- Does pro-biotic has any role in DO management in the pond?

Yes, probiotics help indirectly by reducing organic matter (sludge), which lowers the oxygen consumed by decomposition.

[Dr Shabir]

use of vitamins especially vit E and selenium combination after vaccination,

comfortable temperature and ventilation,

don’t use antibiotics till 24 hours before and after vaccination ,

no other change in the flock like shifting, change of litter for 24 hour minimum to reduce stress

Thx

[AHMED]

thanks very much

At the end of every medications, flushing is highly recommended, hydrogen peroxide ie hydroxycare can be used too,

As part of preparation to receive new stock, hydroxycare is a must, this can equally be followed by isochlor or chlorine to further clean the line after hydrocare ie hydrogen peroxide preparation

For mechanical drives, consideration can be
given to utilizing complete gear-driven
assemblies rather than using a belt drive
between the motor and gear reducer.

use of VFD

The LED light will provide illuminated
workspaces that cost less than traditional highpressure sodium or metal halide fixtures, plus
provide longer bulb life.

Use of smart layout.

use of full automation system.

Have you ever traced a disease outbreak back to contaminated feed?

[Muddasar]

Thank you for sharing your inputs to mitigate the post-vaccination stress.

What’s the best local ingredient you’ve used to replace soybean meal?

[Muddasar]

Automated feeding, climate control, sensors, and AI-based monitoring for better efficiency and bird health.

[Muddasar]

Because extreme body heat denatures muscle proteins before death, causing the breast meat to appear cooked or scalded after heat stress.

[Muddasar]

Noted with Thanks.

Copper toxicity in broilers is usually observed when dietary levels exceed <strong data-start=”75″ data-end=”90″>250–300 ppm.

Thanks for sharing Elizabeth. So water temperature around 25-30 C would be best choice ?
