Today, high protein food for fish is being made from neglected materials. Corn Cob #viral #farming #viral #farming #agriculture #viralvideos #vlog #viralvideo #shorts 🌽 A detailed discussion on the eightieth part of corn or Corn Cob 🌽 👉 : Everyone knows that maize cultivation occupies a special place in the crop map of Uttar Dinajpur district. This crop, which lasts about four months, requires less care and irrigation. However, the price of the crop is slightly higher than that of rice and wheat. Moreover, many farmers in this district have gradually turned their attention to maize due to the high demand for jute cultivation. As a result, the area under maize cultivation in this district has more than doubled in just 8-10 years since 2014-15. In 2023-24, maize was cultivated on more or less 1,00,000 (or one lakh) hectares of land. Despite this increased cultivation and yield, the price of corn has increased by at least 50-60 percent in just 3-4 years from 2020. From 13 taka to 19-20 taka per kg at present. But here too, there is a remnant of neglect, although in terms of nutritional value it can easily defeat the conventional essential ingredient of fish food - rice bran or rice husk. And if it is adopted, both farmers and fish farmers will benefit. Fish food can be prepared at low cost. Because after removing the kernel of corn, the white/reddish thick, slightly slippery middle rod (known as Corn cob or Rachis; and the local common name "Ghuri") that remains has no value. It is a great fuel when dried! However, its nutritional value surprises everyone when analyzed. Corn cob is a delicious, easily digestible food ingredient for animals and birds, containing high-value carbohydrates and a small amount of protein. It is dried and powdered and tested at the reliable and well-known Ita Lab in Kolkata. The results are as follows – (Corn Cob Protein % 12.95, (12.95%) Sugar % 64.35 (64.35%) Fat % 2.56 (2.56%), Fiber % 11.28 (11.28%), Water 8.01 (8.01%)). 🐟🐟 How to use in fish food 👇 If you review the food quality, you will see that corn cob is equivalent to conventional sugar ingredients such as rice bran (silky bran) or wheat bran. If 50 kg of easily available mustard husk as a protein ingredient is mixed with 50 kg of crushed corn residue, the food quality of that mixture will be as follows - protein-25%, sugar-42% and fat-5%), which is suitable for use everywhere in carp farming. Corn cob contains a chemical substance called Xylone and 5%, natural sugar, so it tastes sweet. If the amount of mustard husk is reduced a little and the amount of almond husk and DDGS are added, the amount of both protein and sugar in that food will increase. If a little fish powder is mixed, this food will be really tempting in the fish pond due to its taste and smell. Corn residue or corn cob is actually a low-protein and high-fiber food ingredient. Therefore, in the developed world, it is fed to cattle in winter to save on food costs. But the food that is needed for fish farming - protein ingredients are added separately to that food. In that case, this corn cob can be one of the cheapest, easily available and pure alternatives to fish food, just as a sugar source. Even because this material has a high absorption capacity, the ammonia released from the feces residue cannot become toxic when fed to fish. Maybe it can be recycled naturally - which is the subject of research. Since this corn cob is a high-quality soil conditioner, or a rapidly decomposable organic carbon reservoir - it can be used in newly dug ponds, ponds with sand or gravel, and even in low-sediment water bodies, if used in fish food, the pond soil can get organic enrichment. The world's leading corn producing countries, the United States, China, Brazil, and Argentina, either use this production residue (corn cob) in animal feed, or export it to developing countries. Although India is the seventh largest corn producer in the world, it is still backward in the use of this corn cob. But many do not know that corn cob meal is imported to India. Yes, from Thailand in sufficient quantities (2350 metric tons per year). But fish farmers know that a Thai company manufactures and markets Fish Feed in our country. It is not difficult to guess its importance, but here fish farmers or fish feed producers do not use corncob at all. Perhaps they do not think that in addition to the profit of marketing fish food, it would be possible to stand by the corn farmers at the same time through this work. So this fertilizer or economic biological resource for making fish food, easily digestible sugar ingredient Corncob, is being lost; and it is giving us carbon dioxide, air pollution as a gift as fuel. Who knows when this backwardness will end!
