How to feed the carp

Carp is a valuable major commercial fish and the object of breeding in ponds. Artificial breeding of carp – it is quite doable. Breeding of carp may provide for its artificial feeding. Without any feed on the natural resources of the reservoir in the middle zone can be grown per year is not more than 20 kg of fish in terms of 0.1 hectares, and with the feeding – several times more. Therefore, a person who chooses to breed carp, you need to know how to feed them.

Instruction

1. Important for the growth and life of the fish plays a forage base consisting of natural cooked food and animal feed. Artificially prepared food — grain waste wheat, barley, corn, etc., meal and feed. If the feed is crumbly, then knead it into a thick dough. Cereal grains should be swollen and the seeds of castor bean or beans - steamed.
2. Make food in the pond manually and with the help of feeders. Manually food for the carp to make certain the feed point or band in the free from aquatic vegetation parts of the reservoir with solid ground. In ponds with soft soil, use the tables-feeders. You can apply trough both passive and active (metering the results of feed) types. Very effective circular auto feeders and aerokosmos.
3. Daily rate of feeding is determined by the mass of fish and water temperature. In the weight up to 0.5 g the amount of feed must be 100%, the weight of fish 500g — 2.8% of their mass.Juvenile carp should be fed every hour. After reaching the weight of 10 g number of meals may be reduced. At a water temperature of 24°C the number of feedings may not exceed 6, at 14-20 °C — 4 and at — 14 °C fish need to give food 2-3 times a day. In the winter when the water temperature is above 6°C the fish should also be fed, but the daily ration should not be more than 2% of the weight of the fish.
4. Increasing the number of feedings of complementary foods should also be proportional to the reduced availability of natural foods, i.e. with a minimum content of natural forage - the maximum number of meals, and, conversely, in the period of maximum development of natural meals - the minimum number of servings. In the presence summed up the mains, it is recommended to install the equipment (preferably with a pneumatic spray feed for large-scale complex, which will provide a continuous supply of food throughout the day.
5. Feed the carp at the same time, constantly place. It gives fish a conditioned reflex, she quickly finds food, it absorbs better, and the food in turn just as sour. Monitor how the fish eats the food. If it is in some places remains, hand it to the next day of the decrease.
   So, artificial breeding of carp - it is quite doable.
