The Delta Western Research Centre (DWRC) and the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station (MAFES) have been collaborating on catfish nutrition research for two decades. The key aim of the collaboration was to reduce catfish production cost by developing cost-efficiant feeds and by improving feeding strategies.
The two organisations have been looking at ways to reduce overall costs, one way they have looked at is the possibility of replacing a major portion of soybean meal in catfish diets with less expensive feedstuffs. Or part of the corn with other less expensive energy feedstuffs. Also, research on feeding catfish using high-protein finishing feeds to improve body composition and reduce feed cost has been conducted. Read more ...
