BUNDA ATIRAH PEASANT WOMEN'S GROUP BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT THROUGH CATFISH CULTIVATION

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Catfish cultivation can be carried out with a relatively small capital investment and low maintenance costs. Maintenance costs can be reduced by using natural feeds such as snails, tadpoles, and kitchen waste. However, the group of peasant women of Bunda Atirah does not have experts for catfish cultivation. The purpose of this service is to increase the knowledge and income of the Bunda Atirah farmer women's group. The way to do this is to raise catfish for several months with two catfish growth containers so that the result is that the percentage of feed used is the highest at the beginning of stocking seeds, which is 7% of body weight, while the lowest feed consumption at the end of the harvest will be 2% of body weight. Cultivation can already increase the income of Bunda Atirah members and is recommended for cultivation with larger quantities and using the biofloc system.
