NCRAC FS 125
Conversion of Confined Animal Production Facilities and Other Unused Agriculture Buildings for Fish Culture
Tank culture offers an alternative to traditional pond aquaculture and can be used in indoor facilities such as unused barns or other buildings. Tank culture systems are examples of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). For example, equipment or structures already in place in a former hog operation can be converted for use as a RAS. By retrofitting equipment and reusing water, a RAS can be developed to produce fish in a cost-effective manner. The conversion can require a significant investment, however, so before beginning it is important to gather as much research-based information as possible and to learn about fish culture, water quality, marketing, and other aspects of aquaculture.

Using Whole-Farm and Enterprise Records to Make Decisions
Five key measures of financial performance are commonly analyzed: liquidity, solvency, profitability, financial efficiency, and repayment capacity. Together, these criteria measure both financial condition and performance, allowing the owner, as well as a lender or other outside reader, to better understand how well the business is currently doing. The ultimate goal of using any record keeping system is to help make better management decisions. Farm records should allow the owners to compare their operation to others, or to its own history as well as allowing the owners to plan and evaluate proposed projects.

Animal Housing - Urine and Feces Segregation Overview
The manner in which manure is collected can have an impact on emissions. By segregating liquids and solids, it is possible to increase the nitrogen retention in the liquid portion of the manure thereby reducing ammonia emissions. These systems require handling two waste streams.

Animal Housing - Dietary Manipulation Overview
This fact sheet features diet manipulation as a management practice to address odor and emissions coming from animal housing and manure storage systems. Reducing nutrients in manure can lead to reductions in emissions. Reducing nutrients in manure is broken into two main areas, nutrient input reduction and nutrient form modification. This fact sheet describes both methods.
