Tilapia Avi info

Tilapia are efficient feeders on natural aquatic organisms and are therefore often produced on low quality diets.

If the production is however intensified it is imperative that nutritional complete diets are used.

The feeding allowance for Tilapia in warm water is as follows:

Size	Feed (% of fish weight)	Times Fed Daily
<1g	30 – 10	8
1 - 5g	10 – 6	6
'5 - 20g	6 – 4	4
20 - 100 g	4 – 3	3
>100 g	3	3

• The pellets are packed into 25kg bags and are nutritionally complete.
• The pellets are slow sinking.
• Use the Crumble during the first 2 stages (i.e. to 5 grams), than go over to the Starter,  Grower and finisher Pellet.
• The Limpopo delivered price is shown below (R/bag exclusive of VAT).
• There is however a delivery fee for small quantities
