Integrated Chicken Cum Fish Farming for Sustainable Rural and Urban Communities in Nigeria (FISON)

Abstract

"A nimal manure contains considerable quantities of nutrients for fish production among which are non-digested feed, metabolic excretory products and residues resulting from microbial synthesis. Other benefits of integration of chicken with fish are efficient resources utilization and conservation of environment due to waste management. This paper enumerates a layer chicken cum fish integrated strategies and projects a model I hectare pond with layers. The economic benefits were extrapolated in a cash flow projection on five years duration."
