Examining the Impact of Supplementary Feeding Strategies on Carp Performance: Results from Frontline Demonstrations | Chapter 11 | Research Perspective on Biological Science Vol. 7

 

Supplementary feeding is a critical component of composite carp culture, directly influencing growth performance, feed conversion efficiency and overall productivity. This chapter highlights the strategic approaches for enhancing feed-based aquaculture, including the development of species-specific and life-stage diets, promotion of plant-based and alternative protein sources, establishment of regional feed mills and integration of digital technologies such as automated feeders and real-time monitoring systems. Additionally, farmer-oriented demonstrations and supportive policy interventions are emphasised to facilitate the adoption of best practices. By combining technological innovations, locally accessible feed solutions and targeted training programs, composite carp culture in India can achieve sustainable production, optimise resource utilisation, reduce environmental impact and meet the growing national and global demand for fish. The adoption of these multifaceted strategies promises to strengthen economic viability for farmers while promoting ecological sustainability.
