The American Soybean Association’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health Program (ASA/WISHH) recently worked with Kansas State University, as part of the USDA-funded FEEDing Pakistan program, to send a technical consultant to Pakistan.
Dr. John Woiwode, who has extensive experience working with fisheries in Pakistan, visited the country to provide technical expertise to the Pakistanis surrounding the set-up of tilapia hatcheries, provide one-on-one technical assistance to Pakistani fish farmers and feed millers and to present at farmer field days as well as at a seminar titled, “Best Management Practices for the Culture of Tilapia.” The seminar included discussions surrounding the use of soy-based extruded feeds for aquaculture.
