Fish cum Dairy
- Fish-cum-Dairy Farming is considered as an excellent innovation for the use of organic wastes.
- Use of cow/buffalo manure in fish farming is a commonly prevailing practice.
- On an average, one cow/buffalo excretes 12000 kg of dung and 8000 litre urine per year.
- The cattle faeces and urine are beneficial to the filter-feeding and omnivorous fishes.
- On an average, 3-4 cows/buffaloes can provide sufficient manure to fertilize one-hectare pond.
- In this system, farmer gets milk, fish and calf as well, which increases revenue and reduces input costs.
- The system gives a net profit of Rs.317000/- per year from one-hectare land.
