Replacement of Fish Meal with Soybean Meal on Growth Performance of Monosex Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus) Fish Diet
growth performance, fish meal, soybean meal
Abstract
Fish meal (FM) has excellent protein and lipid profile. However, FM is losing its acceptability and substituted with plant protein due to high price, high demand, and sustainability issues in global aquaculture production. In this study, experimental diets were prepared by substituting FM with soybean meal (SM) to assess the effects on growth performance. The study was carried out by rearing 240 Oreochromis niloticus fries (0.1g) in 12 hapa in earthen pond for 65 days in Kathar, Chitwan. The fishes were fed with four isonitrogenous (27% protein) and isocaloric experimental diets viz. Treatment T1 (100% fish meal protein), Treatment T2 (50% fishmeal protein and 50% soybean meal protein), Treatment T3 (25% fishmeal protein and 75% soybean meal protein) and Treatment T4 (100% soybean meal protein). Among the treatments the weight gain, mean harvest weight, specific growth rate was obtained with no significant difference (p>0.05) was observed between treatment T1, T2 and T3 but shows statistically significance difference with treatment T4. Treatment T3 (1.35) have higher B: C ratio than other treatment implies to economical farming composition.
