YOGYAKARTA - catfish culture seems to have promising prospects. catfish cultivation 30 days of harvest is one of the techniques that is currently popular among fish breeders. catfish that have been kept for 30 days will be immediately harvested and sold in the market.

This method is perfect for beginners who want to try raising catfish because it takes a shorter time and gives favorable results.

According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI) Online, catfish is freshwater, porous, slippery body, the mouth is GROWn, the back is black (sometimes a little gray), the stomach is a bit gray.

Quoted from Andi Feriyanto's book Super Komplet Budi Daya and Fish Lele by Andi Feriyanto, catfish is one of the most popular consumption freshwater fish, especially in Java.

To be able to harvest catfish in 30 days, the key is proper and effective care. The selection of superior catfish seeds, the ideal location, the right pool conditions, the provision of high nutritious feed, catfish health and various other factors are important things that must be considered.

Here are some ways that can be done to accelerate catfish growth to harvest in 30 days:

Choosing the right catfish cultivation location is one of the important factors to ensure the success of the fast catfish harvest. There are several things that need to be considered in choosing the catfish cultivation location, namely:

Water Access

The location of catfish cultivation must have sufficient and good quality access to water to meet adequate and clean water needs.

Weather conditions

The location of catfish cultivation must have the weather that suits catfish's needs, such as stable water and air temperatures and sufficient sunlight. Locations that have too extreme weather are not recommended for cultivation. Lele can grow well between temperatures 25 to 28 degrees Celsius.

Availability Of Raw Materials

Locations for catfish cultivation must be easy to access. This means that there is no need to be too bothered to find catfish seeds, including during maintenance, feeding, medicine, and cultivation equipment.

Supporting Facilities

Don't forget the supporting facilities needed so that catfish cultivation can take place optimally, namely electricity, clean water, and adequate transportation.

The next step that needs to be considered to accelerate catfish growth is the selection of the type of pond. Some types of catfish ponds that can be selected are as follows:

Ember Pond Or Bak

If the limited land area or catfish cultivation is carried out at home, then the best option is to use a pond made of buckets or large tubs so that it will be easier to maintain and economically do not need too large funds.

Tips for catfish cattle in buckets or tubs:

The media should not be too small because it will cause catfish to attack each other. With a tub that is too small, when catfish grows, it will experience difficulties in space to grow big. If the tub or bucket used is too large while the capacity for the number of catfish is not appropriate, there will be a waste of maintenance costs.

Concrete or Paving Pools

If the area of land to be used for catfish is quite available, the choice is to use a concrete pond or tarpaulin pool because it is more flexible and can be adjusted in size to the amount of catfish to be external. Of course, the larger the area of the pond, then the number of catfish cultivated will increase so that the yield and capital issued when cultivated will be balanced.

Bioflok Pool

A bioflok pool is a catfish cultivation system that uses the principles of a natural ecosystem. In this system, bacteria, protozoa, and phytoplankton in ponds play an important role in filtering waste and improving water quality. The catfish bioflok pond can be used to accelerate catfish growth. The catfish bioflok system takes advantage of the biological balance of the organic materials needed.

The bioflux in the catfish pond consists of microbes and zooplanktons that live and reproduce in the water environment. This microba and zooplankton eat organic particles and turn them into foods that catfish can consume more easily.

By maintaining this biological balance, the water quality in the bioflok pool remains good so that it can create a healthy environment for catfish. The bioflux system also helps reduce production costs and improve efficiency by minimizing the use of chemicals and resources.

The selection of the right catfish seeds is also one of the factors that support catfish cultivation 30 harvest days because it will determine the size of the weight at the end of the maintenance period. Some of the superior qualities that need to be considered when choosing catfish seeds:

Make sure all catfish seeds are selected in excellent health, because sick catfish seeds can transmit your catfish disease.

Feeding is an important factor so that catfish grows optimally and can be harvested immediately. The combination of feeding catfish with main feed and additional feed can be done.

Main feed

Good main feed methods must contain high nutrients as below:

Additional Feed

To accelerate the growth of catfish can provide additional feed. Some additional feed alternatives are as follows:

Frequency and Volume of feed giving

Manufacturers' feed on the market already contains the complete nutrition that catfish needs during its growth period. Let's give effective feed as below:

Water is an important component for the health of catfish. Therefore, catfish cultivation must pay attention to the quality of water so that the oxygen and health needs of catfish are always guaranteed. Some of the factors in the kualiats of catfish pond water that need to be maintained are:

Oxygen Level

Sufficient oxygen levels in pool water will greatly support catfish's growth. A way to ensure the amount of oxygen dissolved in the pool is met:

pH Air

pH is a basal acid condition contained in water. You need to pay attention to pH from catfish ponds, because if it is too high it will cause catfish to die easily and if it is too low catfish will become sick. There are several things that can be done to keep the pH level of catfish ponds safe at pH 6-7.5, namely:

It may not be realized that the temperature of the pond also affects catfish's growth. The optimal temperature for catfish varies depending on the catfish type and its growth phase. In general, the ideal temperature for catfish is between 26-30$C (79-86$F) and this will help accelerate growth. If the temperature is too high or too low it can affect the physical condition and health of catfish. Too low temperatures can slow growth and cause stress. Too high temperatures can cause tissue damage and accelerate feed degradation. Naungan in ponds can be created when entering the dry season or heat so that the temperature remains cool and optimal.

By taking the steps above, the cultivation practice of catfish 30 livers can be carried out optimally. Pay attention to the needs of catfish in various stages of growth, from seed selection to harvest time so that the growth and development of your catfish can be maximized and fast harvest.

That's the review of catfish cultivation for 30 harvest days. Hopefully useful. Visit VOI.id to get other interesting information.
