เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2006
Rural Aquaculture Development (RAD) is co-run by Tim who relocated from the UK with his family to join Pauson based in Rukungiri and aims to provide fish farming services to reduce poverty in Uganda.
RAD is an early-stage Ugandan business supporting the growth of the local aquaculture sector, via an innovative service delivery model which enables smallholder producers to access aquaculture technologies. RAD will be a ‘one stop shop’ for aquaculture producers offering ‘bolt on’ services including a hatchery, supplementary feeding through Black Soldier Fly (BSF), water testing and equipment rental, cold chain storage, and access to aquaculture expertise.

Is 7kg a DAY Black Soldier Fly haul really possible?
This was helpful to bring reality home: that BSFs are not magic, and are best suited for specific applications.
What cost effective ingredients do you use to feed the BSF Larvae?
Great stuff
Thanks for the support
Hello, I started a catfish and Tilapia fish project in Western Uganda
Very good! Which district?
Please share your contacts 🙏
Hello you can reach us at ruralaquaculturedevelopment@gmail.com
Where is this project undertaking?
We are based in Uganda! Thanks for the support
Learnt quite alot
Please elaborate on 'the strings going across the pond' 😢. I'm in Uganda and birds seem to be a challenge
The strings stop the birds being able to get to the the fish. It's a deterrent. Birds can be an issue!
BSF is the way to go
It certainly has it's place!
Grt work am doing on my farm already in Uganda
Thanks for the comment. Appreciate your support. I hope you do well in Uganda at your farm.
Thanks for all the good work you are doing in Uganda
It is our pleasure!
So you feed the fish the pupa ?
Yes we do! The protein in the BSF is why we feed them to our fish.
Thanks for sharing. How much of the BSF Larvae do you mix with other feed sources like maize to make 100kg feed formulation for local chicken
Hi, it depends entirely on what you want to feed your chickens. But we focus on fish and do a higher proportion of BSFL
Great content ❤
Thanks for the support!
How do you get young fish for farming
Hello! We breed our own fish from the hatchery.
@@RuralAquacultureDevelopmentyour location will matter my need for you
This is very nice but how do you preserve it
We feed the BSF live, so no need to preserve them.
Frozen , dried, or ground then frozen
Neither! They go in live.
Aren't those biopods way too deep?
The BSF can be in 30cm deep of substrate. Thanks for the comment.
Well done Tim and Pawson. Great news!
Thanks for your support!
Woow! Great News Tim!!
I know it's very exciting!!
That facility is underutilized, if properly used , it can generate 100kg per day. Popular the greenhouse with flies and bring in like a dozen attractant bowls and 12 dozens of eggies raps and be ready to provide about 150kg of organic waste to feed the hatched larvae
Hi there! I agree the potential is huge, we are working on scaling as we mentioned in the video. Thanks for the support and we will keep you updated.
Oh what a pretty little momma, I think I would have needed to take her home with me (and the pups too lol)
I did take them home and they were wonderful to have with us!
Did not see what or how I could be able to do this.
Hi there, thanks for the support! It's lots of decisions and processes working together. Hopefully by watching you will learn lots of techniques to make it possible.
Well done sir . What is the name of the materials you used for the roofing here. I can see that is a cloth and allows light to pass through.
Hi @biolaoshodi7131 it's two types of materials. One is plastic and the other is a netting to allow air and water to pass through
We have lava starting to pupate, and when we feed then a white substance like sand appears on the top and is moving. What could that be?
Hi there, not sure without photos! Are you sure it's not BSF hatchlings? They are tiny when hatched. Perhaps some flies have already bred and laid eggs?
Welldone
Thanks
Nice video. We love this type of livestock farming. Unfortunately, rabbit isn't a very popular choice of meat in Thailand. Maybe a chicken coop in the future.
Hi, that's quite interesting! Yeah chickens can also work well. Thanks for sharing
Some place chicken coops above ponds.
Hi, yes they do. Also effective.
Beautiful 😃🙏
Thank you! Cheers!
Sono stati salvati?
Yes they were!
Which country ?
This is in Uganda.
I like your set up
Thanks, it is a great farm, and credit to the PS for investing in innovative agriculture.
You have a new hat
Yes! Mine was in the lost luggage, so borrowed from Pauson!

Hello Tim Am your fan from Thailand.
Hello. I am friend from Thailand. Your job is so good

Its like was only fish being sold. Was it only fish market day?
Hi! No lots of other things being sold as well
How many did you sell?
The team managed to sell them all! Which is always very encouraging. Thanks for the support!
new subscriber sir..i want tobstart my bsf farm..i collect few of bsf larvae..my flies dont mate please help me
Good for you! Flies need sunlight and warmth to mate. Plus some water to drink and a place to lay eggs.
@@RuralAquacultureDevelopment how about humidity here in my place the humidity is too low
That could be it, can you create some more humid conditions?
Hello! What humidity% is in your location?
Around 60
Trees r very big
Yes! The flies really enjoy resting in the leaves.
Is it possible to cultivate black straight with only vegetables. Please let me know how many kg of vegetables are required to cultivate 1 kg of black soldier🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Hi @familagrofarm3026 . It is possible to use vegetable waste to do this. Typically you would need between 12.5 to 20kg of waste to get 1kg of BSF
Good work Dr. Tim!
Thanks Philip. We appreciate all your support over the years. Thanks also for helping us with feed!
give the people eggs!
Absolutely!
