SURFER

(for Bangus, Tilapia, and Catfish)

Tateh Surfer Feed is a floating pellet produced through extrusion process with 90% minimum floating rate. It is designed for shallow culture systems and for better observance of fish feeding activity. Made of highly digestible ingredients for efficient assimilation. It is fortified with the precise level of vitamins and minerals for optimum growth; Tateh Surfer is available in three types with varied level of crude protein content and pellet sizes to suit different nutritional needs and sizes of fish: Starter, Grower, and Finisher.

Feeding rate is the percentage of biomass or total body weight of the fish. For Catfish, the recommended rate is between 2% to 9% (as shown in the table). By sampling, the average weight of the fish in the pond is determined. The biomass is determined by multiplying the pieces stocked by the average weight. The amount of feed to be used is thus:

Kilos of Feed/ day = Biomass x Feed Rate

FCR must be monitored to avoid feed wastage. This is monitored by dividing Total Feed used by the Biomass. An ideal FCR is 1.5 to 1.8. Keep records and check FCR periodically to assure a profitable culture.
