A monthly meeting of Innovative Fish Farmers Association (IFFA) was held at College of fisheries, Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University here today. Farmers from different districts of the state attended the meeting. They were apprised about the control of common carp breeding in February-March by Dr Vaneet Inder Kaur, co-ordinator of the IFFA. She revealed that common carp is one of the important carp species with bottom feeding behaviour, but due to its prolific breeding after every six months under stagnant pond conditions, can lead to its excessive population in the pond. If not managed properly, it can have negative impact on the growth of other species due to depletion of food and space for them. Through judicious utilisation of the organic matter generated from different livestock systems, the farmers can get maximum benefit by integrating different ventures. In this regard, Dr Sandeep Kaswan, Assistant Professor, Department of Livestock Production and Management delivered a lecture on integrated fish farming with special reference to goat farming. Dr H K Verma, Director of Extension Education, GADVASU said that university is also organising training programme on different disciplines of livestock farming and fisheries.
