Koi Food Study
"~ jan" wrote in message ... More info, apparently it isn't just the label, but are the ingredients digestible by koi. Pasted by permission: ~ jan Message from: KHA Tech Chris Neaves Subject: necropsies - fatty livers Response: Hi Jan, I will look around for you for pictures - but off the top of my head: Catfish food - high in carbohydrates : you will not need a picture for this as koi (carp) loose their body shape with high carbohydrates. GREAT!!!! :-) As my pics show they have fine body shapes. Trout chow : although I am a great believer in feeding koi a high protein diet the trout food is very high in protein (to high for koi) at around 45%. NOPE! This is 36% protein. Too high in oils - around 12- 14%. NOPE! This is 5.00% and gets them through the 4 to 4 1/2 month fast in excellent condition. :-) This will manifest its self in poor skin quality. Although studies have demonstrated that carp can utilise this amount of oil. The source of oil is important. Should be marine oil. This is rich in omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Trout food is mostly sinking. WRONG! What I buy floats. Dog food : low in protein and high in carbohydrates. Protein sources in dog food are things like meat and bone meal, blood meal, etc These raw material may be high in protein but they do not contain the correct balance and quantities of amino acids that koi must have. Cat Food : slightly higher than dog food in the protein but cat food use chicken meal as a protein source. The oils in chicken meal are not easily digested by koi. Also carbohydrate levels too high for koi. Interesting. It is critical to get a koi food with the right amino acid levels and balance not only a certain percentage of protein. It is also imperative to get foods which have high levels of vitamin C, E and A. Higher than found in cat and dog food. Vitamin C is excellent for healing and the immune system it is also a very good natural anit-oxidant. High levels of vitamin C is an essential component of collagen and thus vital to the connective tissues as well as the bone matrix and scar tissue healing. Remember the bone structure of our koi is vital to body shape. Deficiency in vitamin C leads to a marked reduction in wound healing capacity, skeleton malformations etc and a tendency to haemorrhage and secondary infections. Never saw any of this in any of my koi, GF or rosy reds. Deformed fish are very rare. Vitamin E is a very good natural anti-oxidant inside the body. Deficiency in vitamin E results in a wide range of problems. These are mostly associated with muscle and fat tissue and include muscular dropsy. Again bear in mind that not only the skeleton but the muscles are an important factor in body shape of our koi. Vitamin A shortages produce reduced growth. Vitamin A is essential in maintaining epithelial cells. The skin of our koi is important for lustre, it houses the colour patterns etc. The feed I use contains Vitamin A acetate plus they have access to plenty of algae and plant matter. The carbohydrate sources in cat and dog food as well as cat fish food use cheap raw materials such as yellow maize meal - I believe you called it corn. The yellow maize meal has pigments that will affect the whites on our koi. More expensive white, finely ground maize meal is far better. My white koi are WHITE as snow as the pics show. :-) These are some of the things I can think of regarding the differences between different food sources. There is one overall consideration. Placing two koi ponds back to back and feeding a good koi food to one pond and a dog food to another will result in very different results. I don't think anyone would feed pure dog food to pond fish. This will occur over time. By the time you have realised that the koi in the first pond are out growing the second pond and by the time you realise there is a massive difference in colour, skin lustre and body shape it is almost too late. The damage has been done. There was a case in this country some years ago where a manufacture of trout pellets accidently produce a batch with out adding a vitamin / mineral pre mix. By the end of the growing season the trout farmers who used this food noticed significantly less growth than in previous seasons. Tests were done and the cause found. There were legal repercussions but * the damage had been done. And that can't happen at any manfg plant? -- RM.... Frugal ponding since 1995. rec.ponder since late 1996.

Ditto for trout as for caatfish in regards to comprehensin with CArol Gulley...... dog food for Carol is too $$$ to feed.... Cat Food : slightly higher than dog food in the protein but cat food use chicken meal as a protein source. The oils in chicken meal are not easily digested by koi. Also carbohydrate levels too high for koi. Now your talking, Wally World Special Kitty brand cat food is Carols style. The food of choice for Koi professionals like Carol Gulley.........Only a fool would buy high dollar koi foods when Special Kitty does so well..........even in a study without a control group........

Too bad for Carols fish, as all this good info has probably gone right over her head and she does not have the comprehension to understand what is really being stated...so her fish lose! I hear Beer, cigarettes, bananas and hot dogs and cat food are the main staples of food and necessities in the Gulley household..... ------- I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know! |

Trout chow : although I am a great believer in feeding koi a high protein diet the trout food is very high in protein (to high for koi) at around 45%. NOPE! This is 36% protein. Leave it to lunatic carol to find cut rate trout chows......what doyou expect.....she pays attention to numbers not ingredients.......can we all say CArol is a dumbass! Too high in oils - around 12- 14%. NOPE! This is 5.00% and gets them through the 4 to 4 1/2 month fast in excellent condition. :-) We all figured you would have found a lower source if it was too high and a higher source if it was too low.Carols nothing but a pathological liar. If it was not for Jan spelling out Trout, she would still be at a loss how to spell it. This will manifest its self in poor skin quality. Although studies have demonstrated that carp can utilise this amount of oil. The source of oil is important. Should be marine oil. This is rich in omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids.

As long as they resemble her brain or body shape they are considered normal.........Carol unfortunately is aperson that denies the facts and has a very very deformed and diseased brain.........and is very deficieint in more than one area........ Vitamin E is a very good natural anti-oxidant inside the body. Deficiency in vitamin E results in a wide range of problems. These are mostly associated with muscle and fat tissue and include muscular dropsy. Again bear in mind that not only the skeleton but the muscles are an important factor in body shape of our koi.

The yellow maize meal has pigments that will affect the whites on our koi. More expensive white, finely ground maize meal is far better. My white koi are WHITE as snow as the pics show. :-) What age were you when you stopped wearing white Carol..6, 8 year sof age........what would you know about white pure white........I bet old toadstool randy wore black when he finally realized what he got himself tangled up wioth! These are some of the things I can think of regarding the differences between different food sources. There is one overall consideration. Placing two koi ponds back to back and feeding a good koi food to one pond and a dog food to another will result in very different results. I don't think anyone would feed pure dog food to pond fish. I bet you already tried it carol but found out you could get cat food at wally world cheaper........ This will occur over time. By the time you have realised that the koi in the first pond are out growing the second pond and by the time you realise there is a massive difference in colour, skin lustre and body shape it is almost too late.

Little mioss perfect CArol Gulley is the only one able to do the opposite of what is considered normal abd get tremendous results, yet if she did what is consdered normal she gets terrible results.....Typical from a bi polar dumbass loon like she is.........with out a clue as to what she is even talking about! ------- I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know! |

Koi Food Study - LONG
5% is high for fish facing a 4 month fast? Now I see why people's koi die
during the winter fast. They have no reserves to survive the winter fast. The brand I use Nutri Source Farm Pond Diet. Why are you suddenly so concerned about what I feed since you've known this information for 8 years and never said a word before? I looked up the brand and couldn't find anything with the numbers you mentioned, but if the ingredients are digestible by the koi gut, as you know, you're fine. That's not to say those using koi foods are suffering deaths. My babies did quite well on koi food and I've had no trouble selling them, not that that is my goal. Most likely it is the brand they were using. You didn't mention the koi food you used that you had problems with, why all prudent now? Seems you'd want to get that information out if it produced poor results. Yet someone else can recommend people illegally shoot and kill protected birds and you say nothing. Koi are not endangered, many of our birds are. If you want to start a new thread about this, do so, but don't pull this topic off on to something unrelated. ~ jan |

It's manufactured by Feed Solutions of St. Lewis Mo. That's not to say those using koi foods are suffering deaths.

You didn't mention the koi food you used that you had problems with, why all prudent now? Seems you'd want to get that information out if it produced poor results. I don't care if the information gets out. People are going to believe and buy what they want no matter what they read here. We live in a sue-crazy society and the two trolls would quickly make sure the company who made the food would get my post. Uh, no thanks. ;-) Also, I can't know if the results would have been different under different climactic conditions (steady 75F year round), different stains of koi (more expensive or cheaper fish) or koi of different ages (the article mentioned 3 year olds). I gave you my experience with the expensive food and for some reason you refuse to accept it. Had I gotten at least the SAME results as I got with the cheaper foods I would have said so. Yet someone else can recommend people illegally shoot and kill protected birds and you say nothing. Koi are not endangered, many of our birds are. If you want to start a new thread about this, do so, but don't pull this topic off on to something unrelated. ~ jan It's useless to start a new thread as those left here don't seem to care about people being advised to illegally kill herons. Those who do care are too intimidated to speak up least they face the same abuse (personal attacks, slander) I get daily, mainly from a certain regular here. -- RM....
