Sprouted grain is a high-quality feed for raising fish, with good feeding results

Feeding fish with sprouted grain has the advantages of a wide range of raw materials, simple preparation, rich nutrition, strong palatability, convenient feeding, and low cost. In addition, it can ease the shortage of concentrated feed and green feed, making it a fish feed worth promoting. Sprouted grain is rich in vitamins and carotene. Using sprouted grain @#@233@#@ can promote the transformation of nutrients and metabolism in the fish body, and enhance the skin's antibacterial ability. It is especially important for the pre-spawning conditioning of feeding fish such as grass carp, carp, and bream, and can increase the spawning rate, fertilization rate, and survival rate. The preparation and feeding methods of sprouted grain are introduced below:

I. Preparation.

Screen barley, rice grain, and other cereal seeds to remove impurities and inferior grains, wash them clean, and dry them. Soak them in warm water at 25°C~30°C for one day and one night. After the seeds swell, scoop them out and spread them in a wooden tray or other water-filtering container at a thickness of 3 cm~5 cm. Cover with gauze or burlap, and keep the room temperature at 18°C~25°C. Spray with warm water at about 30°C 3 times~4 times every day and night, while slightly turning them. After 2 days~3 days, fibrous roots and embryo buds will grow. At this point, remove the gauze or burlap. After about 5 days~7 days, tender shoots will grow. The length of the sprouted grain can then be controlled as needed for feeding fish.

II. Feeding.

The fish species that like to eat sprouted grain include grass carp, carp, and bream. Dissection has found that black carp, silver carp, and bighead carp also eat sprouted grain. Feeding can be done from late April to early November. Feeding sprouted grain can solve the problem of insufficient fish grass, help fatten and increase weight, and also reduce costs. When feeding sprouted grain, it should be done at a fixed location, at a fixed time, and in a fixed amount. The daily feeding amount is generally 5% of the total body weight of the fish. If the total body weight of the fish in the water cannot be estimated accurately, check 4 hours after feeding. If no leftover sprouted grain is seen at the feeding site, the feeding amount should be appropriately increased. If a small amount of sprouted grain remains at the feeding site, it indicates that the feeding amount is appropriate.
