On an area of 4 acres of inefficient rice cultivation, from 2019 Mr. Thuy hired the People’s Committee of Van Truong commune, Tien Hai district (Thai Binh province) to renovate the ground, invest in building a breeding area for eels and commercial eels in the field. cement tank.
Changing the method of raising eels in cement tanks has contributed to improving the value per unit area. In particular, since eel farming has applied the registration of stamps of traceability, the product’s value has been significantly increased.
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thuy, Van Truong commune (Tien Hai district, Thai Binh province) raises eels without mud step by step bringing high economic efficiency.
Anh Thuy shared: For export agricultural products, importing countries all require origin extraction and quality control, so in order to improve agricultural products, I have completed the system registration procedure. traceability through codes, barcodes.
This management process is carried out in the following steps: The seed input will have a traceable label from the supplier; After harvesting, the output product will be labeled with the farmer’s traceability label on the product lot before being delivered to the collector.
This seafood traceability system allows monitoring the entire production process in a modern and scientific way. Completing the above standards consumes a lot of time and money for farmers. In return, the farmers’ products are accepted in foreign markets, and their economic value is enhanced. When products have codes and barcodes, product traceability is quite simple.
Just using a smartphone to scan the QR code, consumers will know the address, phone number of the business and especially understand the process of making products.
Mr. Thuy added that, in order to develop eel seed and commercial eel to meet the requirements of clean seafood, he changed the farming method from the traditional farming method in mud ponds to farming in non-mud tanks. This model has a fast weight gain, easy to observe the growth process.
Caring for eels at the mud-free eel farming model of Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thuy, Van Truong commune, Tien Hai district, Thai Binh province.
Besides, according to Mr. Thuy, raising eel in a mud-free tank can be raised at a higher density than traditional eel farming, with low feed costs. Food for eels are golden snails, tilapia, and earthworms. After pureeing, I mix with 70% snails, fish, worms, 30% flour.
“Each litter I usually raise for 8-10 months. Eels are dark-loving, like to hide, often live in the mud, so when raised in a cement tank, they must create shelter for the eels by making substrates. with black nylon rope …”, Mr. Thuy revealed.
According to Mr. Thuy, eels are quite sensitive to the water environment in the tank, so daily clean water must be changed following feeding; On the water surface, it is necessary to spread many nylon fibers as a substrate for the eels to live in.
When building a model of raising eels without mud in a cement tank, there must be a water pump and adequate drainage system, and the inside of the tank is paved with smooth flower tiles to prevent the eels from being scratched during the rearing process, ensuring that the standards are met. Clean commercial eel lice.
In addition, attention must be paid to the prevention of common diseases and disinfection of the aquarium. Raising eels without mud is very effective, does not take much time, every day only has to spend regarding 20 minutes to feed the eels and change the water according to regulations, how to ensure that the water is always clean and clear, the eels will be less sick.
Every year, from the mud-free eel farming model, Mr. Thuy sells to provinces and cities and exports to China and Taiwan over 1.3 million eel seed and commercial eel, with a turnover of several hundred million dong/year. .
Ms. Doan Thi Que, Chairwoman of the Farmers’ Association of Van Truong commune (Tien Hai district, Thai Binh province) said: Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thuy’s model of raising eel without mud brings high value in agricultural production.
Anh Thuy is a typical farmer member of the commune. Not only developing eel farming at home, he also guides and imparts experience to farmer members in some localities in the district to apply the model of raising eel without mud.
