The FCR Method — How to Cut Your Catfish Feed Cost and Actually Turn a Profit

FEED IS YOUR BIGGEST COST. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S REALLY COSTING YOU?

Most catfish farmers lose money without knowing it — because they never measure the one number that decides profit: the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR).

This book teaches you to track it, improve it and turn it into a real cost per kilogram you can price from.

Inside:

✅ Why most catfish farmers lose money without noticing

✅ FCR explained simply — and how to measure yours from your next feeding

✅ Formulated vs local feed: the real cost per kilogram compared

✅ Making your own feed: what to understand before you start

✅ Feeding schedules by growth stage

✅ Water quality and stocking density

✅ Biosecurity that protects the feed you've already paid for

✅ The costing engine: your true cost per kg of fish

✅ Finding your buyer before harvest — no more panic sales

✅ Records, batch cards and scaling

Who it's for: Nigerian catfish farmers, whether starting out or already running ponds.

Honest note: this is a business and cost-management guide, not veterinary advice. Prices are Q2 2026 Nigerian baselines — recalculate with your own.
