Feeding Techniques
Feed typically represents 60-70% of your catfish production costs. Get your feeding strategy wrong and you'll either starve your profit margins through poor growth or waste money on uneaten feed. The difference between profitable and unprofitable catfish farming often comes down to feeding technique.
