| dc.description | This report details the results of a consultancy carried out to develop Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) feeds for use at the Project's fry production centres and by small-scale farmers in the Lake Basin Region. The current feeding strategies employed by the Project and local farmers are critically reviewed and recommendations given for an improved semi-intensive pond using feeding strategy using locally available feed resources. Particular attention is given to the improvement of on-farm feed an d fertilizer management techniques so as to reduce feed wastage and maximize fish production at minimum cost. Details of the existing and recommended dietary formulations and feeding regimes are fully described. | |
