Integrated Fish and Duck Farming in Farm Ponds<br />
Description of Technology<br />
Achievements<br />
Recognition<br />
The farmer adopted a farm pond of 24 x 24 x 5m through National<br />
Horticulture Mission (NHM) in 2008-09. He has used integrated fishcum-duck<br />
approach so that cost of supplementary feed was saved.<br />
Duck faeces increase the planktons production which is the natural food<br />
for the fishes. He has also used feed bags for supplementary feeding<br />
instead of traditional practice of broadcasting method and used<br />
sprinklers for the aeration of water for getting better oxygenated water.<br />
He saved the percolation of water by having lining of pond by polythene<br />
sheet. Once the sheet was laid in the pond, water was available for long<br />
time. He earns good profit from sale of fish and duck eggs.<br />
