Keywords: Broilers, tomatoes., Juvenile catfish, Sustainable agriculture.
Integration of animal production, aquaculture and crop integration is essential for maximizing water and land productivity. Thus, the increase in global water scarcity and the dual use of water for poultry, crop and fish production has the potential to optimize water use, dispose of aquaculture wastes, provide additional nutrients to crops, and reduce inorganic fertilizer usage, thus maximizing farm productivity. This screen house study was conducted to determine the effects of broilers, and juvenile catfish on the growth, yield parameters, and yield of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.). The fishes fed on poultry manure while the tomatoes were watered with filtered water from the fishpond. The water changed from the fishpond is irrigated into the screen house; this water serves as fertilizer for the tomatoes as it contains aqueous ammonia. There was a remarkable growth of the tomatoes. The waste from the broilers affected the fish in terms of growth and also had an effect on the pond water properties. The physicochemical properties of the pond water contribute to the performance of tomato properties.
