The integrated\nfarming has been usually adopted for the purpose of minimizing wastes from the\nvarious farm systems through the use of such wastes and by-products whenever\nappropriate to improve the farm productivity and in the same time to reduce the\nproduction costs. Integrated fish farming has been widely considered\nparticularly in small operations in rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inserted photos show a governmental\npilot project established in Rukeco (North-East of the country). The purpose of\nthis project is to promote the integration of fish farming with other\nagriculture systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project consists of eleven fish\nponds with a total area of close to 10,000 m2<\/sup>. As shown in the photos,\nthe integration between fish and poultry is done through the construction of\nchicken house above the water surface of fish ponds. Also and as the second\nphoto shows, cabbage, eggplant and other crops are cultivated between pond\ndykes. In such systems, the poultry dropping enhances the natural productivity\nin the underneath fish ponds along with elevated contribution of the natural\nfood in fish feed and production. On the other hand, through the introduction\nof pond fertile water to vegetable crops, the use of external fertilizers is\nnot needed or at least reduced leading to better vegetable cropping at lower\ncost.Note:<\/strong> Jean Marie; the owner of\nthe inserted photos is the one checking the general health of the chicken.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
