Abstract

An experiment using chicken manure as direct dropping from poultry sheds over
ponds and supplied from out side, was conducted for the polyculture of different
fish species and freshwater prawn at 8,000/ha densities in 0.1 ha ponds. After
12 months of culture, a significant higher (P<0.05) production of 4,290 kg/ha was
observed from ponds receiving direct poultry dropping, whereas, 3,365 kg/ha
production was resulted from manure treated ponds. Freshwater prawn survival
was better in the ponds of manure application than the direct dropping one.
