Feeding farmed Trout

Since fish feed accounts for about 50 to 70 percent of the cost of production, it is very important to use the right food that contains the required components of trout to achieve the goal of its economic production.it is very important to use suitable food that contains the necessary components of this fish.

The diet that we consider for trout (ready meal) should be included: Protein, fat, carbohydrates and minerals and vitamins which have the properties appropriate to the needs of this fish in terms of their types and quantity of constituents.

Considering that after the quality and physical and chemical properties of water, food is one of the most important success factors in salmon breeding, we can understand the importance and role of food and its

After the quality, physical and chemical properties of water, food is one of the most important factors in the success of Trout farming. in case of using suitable food or ration, in addition to meet their physical needs, it will improve the general condition and health of the fish, reduce losses during the breeding period, accelerate their growth, produce fish with a higher average weight. The total amount of production will be higher in each pool or at the level of the whole farm.
