How can the efficacy of fishery drugs be improved? Master these five methods
Improve the binder The binder must be highly sticky, otherwise the drug will easily disperse and be lost in the water. Standard @#@245@#@ flour is a relatively good binder material. For swallowing fish, it is best to make pelleted medicated bait or ball-shaped medicated bait for feeding.
Add a feeding attractant Fish have a keen sense of smell; even if 1 gram of alanine is dissolved in 1 million liters of water, fish can still detect it. For example, if strongly aromatic Chinese herbal medicines such as star anise and Angelica dahurica are ground into fine powder to make a feeding attractant, and mixed into fishery drugs at a ratio of 10%-20%, or added to roasted soybean powder, wheat flour, etc., all have obvious feeding-attractant effects.
Use a drug carrier First dissolve the fishery drug in a small amount of water, then evenly sprinkle it on the bait to feed the fish. Rice grains can also be soaked in the fishery drug solution and then fed to the fish. Liquid fishery drugs can also be injected into @#@254@#@ and fed to the fish, and the therapeutic effects are all quite ideal.
Combine Chinese and Western medicines Mixing Chinese herbal medicines into certain Western medicines can both improve efficacy and reduce costs. For example, if rhubarb, Scutellaria baicalensis, Phellodendron amurense, Andrographis paniculata, water pepper, and Euphorbia humifusa are ground into powder and mixed into Western medicines such as sulfonamides, the efficacy can be increased several times to several dozen times compared with using Chinese herbal medicines alone.
Distinguish prevention from treatment When preventing fish diseases, ordinary bait can be fed first to let the fish with strong constitutions eat their fill, and then medicated bait can be fed, so that weak fish and those poor at competing for food eat the medicated bait. When treating fish diseases, medicated bait should be fed first, so that healthy fish and fish that have just become ill eat more medicated bait.
