3.1.9.1. Cattle-Fish integrated farming

Cow dungh is the most widely used manure, in fish ponds all over the world. A healthy cow excretes over 4,000-5,000 kg dung, 3,500-4,000 litre urine annually. For 1 ha pond 5-6 cows can provide adequate manure. An additional income is generated from milk (9,000 litres/year) and fish production ranges from 3,000-4,000 kg fish/ha/year.
