...impact of replacement of fishmeal (FM) with soybean meal (SBM) in diets of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). A total of 600 rainbow trout, with an initial mean body weight of 15.92 ± 0.34 g, were distributed randomly into twelve experimental tanks (50 fish per tank). Four isoenergetic and isonitrogenous feed diets were allocated to each treatment, with three replicates/treatment (12 fish/replicate). FM and fish oil were replaced gradually by S...

...s on the key feedstuffs, fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO) that will be limited with the passage of time due to the insubstantial resources available for wild fish harvesting. Therefore, other sources of feedstuffs need to be investigated to substitute FM and FO in aquafeeds. Terrestrial crops can be used to substitutes a portion of the FM however; they can result in changes in the nutritional quality of the fish produced. Microalgae can be considered as a favor...

...results illustrated that fishmeal replacement with 33.0% biofloc resulted in the nearest results if compared to the control diet in feed utilization, growth performance, morphological fish characters, chemical fish composition, and blood profiles. A diet containing 33.0% of biofloc gave a comparable effect in protein and energy productive values compared to the control diet versus lower values (p<0.05) of 66.0% and 100.0%% biofloc diets. Furthermore, the bi...

...ds particularly when low fishmeal levels are used. Fish feed with addition of organic acids lowers the pH of fish gut that ultimately improves the hydrolysis of phytate, improves minerals absorption, upsurges the pace of gastric activities and augment digestion. The present study was designed to judge the effectiveness of Tau supplemented LMS (linseed meal) based diet in enhancing mineral absorption and nutrient digestibility in selected fish fingerlings. Grad...

...ate, corn, rice bran and fishmeal, and CCI according to the treatment. The observed variables were nutrient digestibility (dry matter, crude protein and crude fiber), hematological status and blood malondialdehyde levels in blood of broiler chickens. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and further tested by Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results of this study indicated that the CCI had a significant (P<0.05) effect on nutrient digestibility, hematological s...

Lingnan yellow broilers were randomly categorized into 4 groups. The control group was fed with basal diet containing 3% fishmeal, and the treatment group 1, 2, and 3 were fed basal diet with 30%, 60%, and 100% ...

Juveniles (35.75±3.2g) were collected with the help of cast net from Sakro creek and transferred into the earthen fish ponds located at Garho, Thatta, Sindh. Juveniles were acclimatized for more than two weeks (15 days) to the experiment conditions. After acclimatization period...

Six experimental diets using BM as an alternative protein source containing different graded levels of BM (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) were prepared. Three replicates were used for each treatment having fifteen fingerlings per tank. Fingerlings were fed at the rate of 4% wet weight twi...

The results showed that the weight gain of the LP20, LP40, and LP60 treatments was as high as the CTL treatment. The FCR of ducks at CTL treatment (3.40) and LP20 treatment (3.44) was sig...

Six iso-nitrogenous and iso-energetic diets were prepared: Control (without biochar) and diet II (parthenium biochar), diet III (farmyard manure biochar), diet IV (poultry waste biochar), diet V (vegetable waste biochar) and diet VI (corncob waste biochar).
