Three points for attention in feeding and feeding of Loach in Taiwan

Taiwan Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is a stomachless fish with a very fast empty. the first half of the intestine is usually used to digest food and the second half is used to breathe. The digestion time of bait in the intestine is very short. Improper feeding will lead to flatulence, indigestion and enteritis. Important attention should be paid to the following aspects when feeding:

The main results are as follows: 1. Taiwan Loach began to take appropriate amount of bait after throwing seedlings, and the expanded feed with protein content of 36% ∼ 38% was better. Because the expanded material has good stability in water, high digestion and absorption rate, and the loss rate is lower than that of hard particles, large-scale culture should be fed with expanded material with particle diameter suitable for Loach seedling diameter, which can not only feed Loach for a long time, but also reduce waste. The first generation of purebred Taiwan Loach fry has strong adaptability to the pond and good culture benefit. 2. Taiwan Loach has the characteristics of gluttony, so overfeeding should be avoided as far as possible in the process of breeding. In principle, it is better to be fed 70% full. Generally, it is appropriate to control the feeding in 1 hour. It is necessary to add food within 30 minutes, and it is not finished in 2 hours. Should be properly reduced. Before feeding the expanded feed, soak the expanded material with an appropriate amount of water before feeding, so that the expanded material can fully absorb water and expand before feeding, so as not to affect the intestinal respiratory function of Taiwan Loach. 3. The feeding of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus in Taiwan is closely related to the water temperature. There is no need to feed below 12 ℃, once a day below 18 ℃, twice a day above 18 ℃. If the water temperature is higher than 30 degrees or lower than 12 ℃, the amount of feeding should be reduced or not. The most suitable water temperature for the growth of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is 22 ℃∼ 30 ℃. When the water temperature is 25 ℃∼ 28 ℃, it has strong appetite, strong predation and rapid growth, so it can be fed more. However, the water quality, weather, water temperature and feeding conditions should be flexibly controlled when feeding, so that the fish can be satisfied without leaving any residual bait, so that the feed can be saved without damaging the water quality and maintaining a good water environment.
