Abstract:
... Dry and fresh Azolla pinnata were evaluated as feed ingredients for fingerling and adult Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.). Dry Azolla was incorporated into practical diets containing approximately 30% crude protein and 360-400kcal/lOOg of GE lo replace 25,50,75 and 100% of the fish meal (FM) protein in the control diet. Fresh Azolla was also tested as a total diet for these fish. Formulate ...

Abstract:
... Sunshine bass, a hybrid of female white bass Morone chrysops (Rafinesque) and male striped bass M. saxatilis (Walbaum), fingerling production occurs almost exclusively in ponds. To increase production and maintain year-round production in temperate climates, indoor tank culture is required. While tank production of fingerlings has been demonstrated, little is known about feeding requirements. Suns ...

Abstract:
... An 8-week growth study was conducted to quantify the dietary lysine requirement of fingerling Indian major carp, Cirrhinus mrigala (4.30+/-0.25 cm; 0.63+/-0.02 g) using diets containing casein and gelatin as sources of intact protein, supplemented with crystalline amino acids. Amino acid test diets (40% CP and 4.28 kcal g-1 GE) with graded levels of lysine (1.50, 1.75, 2.00, 2.25, 2.50 and 2.75 g/ ...

Abstract:
... Indian major carp fingerling, Cirrhinus mrigala (3.85 ± 0.75 cm, 0.52 ± 0.21 g), were fed isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets (40% crude protein, 4.28 kcal g-1, gross energy) containing casein, gelatin and crystalline amino acids with graded levels of l-threonine (1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00 and 2.25 g 100 g-1, dry diet) to determine the dietary threonine requirement. The feeding trial was conduc ...

Two feeding trials were conducted to determine the proper inclusion level of dehulled soybean meal (DHSM) as a fish meal replacer and to get the information on the long-term effects of fish meal (FM) replacement by DHSM in Korean rockfish diets. All the experimental diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous (48% crude protein, CP) and isocaloric (16.0 kJ energy g-1 diet). In the first experiment, ...
... The development of more cost-effective feeds for silver perch, depends on a better understanding of the nutrient requirements of this species. The dietary requirements of silver perch for linoleic acid (LA) and α-linolenic acid (ALA) were examined in a 4 x4 factorial experiment, with diets containing incrementally increasing proportions of LA (10%, 20%, 30%, 40% of total fatty acids (TFA)) and ALA ...
... Apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) values for mechanically extracted meal derived from roquette (Eruca sativa) seeds were obtained. The digestibility of dry matter (DM), protein and energy was measured using an inert marker in the diets and by faeces collection using the dissection method. Soybean meal and roquette meal had similar ADC values for protein and energy. Roquette seed meal was th ...
