Follow breed standards by increasing space twice a week, maintaining adequate ventilation, and avoiding overcrowding to promote better growth and uniformity.

The term is used to represent the amount of material that is delivered to the scale after the feeder screw from the ingredient bin is turned off – so the distance from the terminal end of the feeder screw to the surface of material in the scale – the length of this distance may be different for different ingredients; more or less material – thus each ingredient may have a different free-fall value – the batching computer will take this into account when filling the scale – as target weight is approached the screw feeder will stop and wait for the free-fall material to weigh and if not at target will jog the feeder screw. If you are batching manually you will train yourself to stop the screw feeder before target weight achieved and jog on-and-off till target reached.
There is an excellent document from Kansas State University covering Batching and Mixing in the Documents Tab of the Feed Manufacturing Technology discussion group. It is below for your convenience.

Selecting the right fish species is crucial for making aquaculture profitable and sustainable. Many factors can influence a farmers decision. But here are the key factors to consider:
1. Market Demand and Profitability
2. Growth Rate and Feed Conversion Efficiency
3. Environmental Tolerance and Adaptability
4. Reproductive Biology
5. Production Costs vs. Returns
6. Polyculture & Compatibility
7. Environmental & Regulatory Considerations
8. Post-Harvest Handling & Shelf Life.For example:
- Catfish is chosen widely in Nigeria because of its fast growth, strong market demand, ease of breeding, and adaptability.
- Tilapia is popular globally due to its good feed conversion, wide tolerance, and consumer acceptance.
- Shrimp and salmon bring high returns but require more specialized conditions.

These vaccines effectively reduce disease pressure & antibiotic use by priming the immune system against specific pathogens.
