The Best Fish Feed in Nigeria for Catfish: Why Quality Matters

A few months ago, I visited a fish farm run by an ambitious aquapreneur who had high hopes for his homemade fish feed. His pond was large, his vision clear: this feed would cut costs, boost growth, and drive profitability. But within a week, disaster struck. Fish floated belly-up. Growth stalled. The numbers didn’t add up. The problem wasn’t the fish. It was the feed. The catfish were growing exactly as they were fed: poorly. Just as fish can’t flourish on empty calories, a farm can’t succeed on subpar feed. The right nutrition makes the difference between a thriving business and a sinking investment. In Nigeria’s competitive catfish farming industry, choosing the best feed isn’t just about cost, it’s about protein content, digestibility, floatability, and growth performance. The wrong feed leads to stunted growth, higher mortality, and lost profits. The right one maximizes yield, health, and market value. In this article, we’ll explore:...

The Practical Path to a Pet-Friendly Rental: A Data-Backed Guide

“I would have lived in a tent before I surrendered my dog ,” says Valerie Ducharme, a renter who faced the Yukon's housing crisis with her Australian shepherd. Her sentiment is common. According to a 2023 Canadian Rental Housing Index report , nearly 40% of rental households include pets, yet a systematic analysis of listings in major Canadian markets shows that less than 30% explicitly welcome them.

The documented primary concerns are: Property damage (chewed moldings, stained carpets) Noise disturbances leading to tenant turnover Liability issues (dog bites) Residual allergens affecting future tenants Your application must address these poin...

Rough Collie Is Now The Most Aggressive Dog, According To Science

Often touted for being highly affectionate, Rough Collie has topped the list of 23 other types of dogs known to be “aggressive,” according to new study published in Scientific Reports. Researchers from Helsinki who studied the behaviour of more than 9,000 dogs covering 24 breeds found that Long-Haired Collies, like Rough Collie, Miniature Poodle, and Miniature Schnauzer are more likely than others to exhibit aggressive behaviour. The study also revealed that small dogs are more likely to behave aggressively than mid-sized and large dogs, but due to their size, are often not seen as threatening and the bad behaviour therefore goes unaddressed. Male dogs are also more aggressive than females and neutering them has no impact. The researchers noted that Labradors and Golden Retrievers known for their docile temperament and gentle nature, are the least aggressive dog breeds. Notable breeds such as Rottweilers, Dobermans and British Bulldogs were however not included in the list. ...
