Innovative Frog Farming Project in Accordance with Best Aquaculture Practices under the Sustainable Community Engagement Program for Sustainable Development
This project aims to expand the utilization of mobile frog spawn breeding kits to develop and establish model agricultural farms adhering to Good Aquaculture Practices (GAP). Additionally, the project intends to create value-added products from frog offspring. Through careful planning and implementation, this initiative addresses the needs of farmers, providing them with breeding kits and water treatment equipment, thereby improving water quality and enhancing froglet survival rates. Furthermore, the project facilitates knowledge transfer to encourage proper frog farming practices and promotes product diversification. In this endeavor, the project team visited a model frog offspring processing facility in Nakhon Phanom province, Thailand, to gain insights into best practices.
