Two experiments were conducted to examine the influence of dietary protein levels on growth and carcass proximate composition of Heterotis fingerlings. Four isoenergetic practical diets were formulated to contain dietary protein levels from 250 to 400 g kg?1 diet. Replicate groups of young Heterotis (initial live weight 3.96 and 26.40 g in experiments 1 and 2 respectively) were handfed twice daily to apparent satiation for a period of 42 and 28 days respectively. Statistical analysis revealed that growth rate was significantly affected by dietary protein level (P < 0.01). The highest weight gain was observed in fingerlings fed with 300 and 350 g protein kg?1 diet for fish size ranging between 3–15 and 26–62 g respectively. There was no significant difference between groups fed with 300, 350 and 400 g protein kg?1 diet for Heterotis fingerlings (3–15 g) in the one hand; in the other hand, significant differences were found between fish (26–62 g) fed with 350 g protein kg?1 diet and those receiving 300 and 400 g protein kg?1 diet, with no significant difference between each other. The specific growth rate varied from 2.4% to 3.1% day?1. The whole‐body protein, lipid, moisture and ash contents were not significantly affected by dietary protein levels (P > 0.05). The relationships between percentage weight gain and dietary protein levels suggested very similar dietary protein requirement (about 310 g crude protein kg?1 diet) for Heterotis ranging from 3 to 62 g. The maximum growth occurred at about 345 g protein kg?1 diet.  相似文献

Ten isonitrogenous (350 g kg1-crude protein) diets incorporating raw and soaked deoiled sal (Shorea robusta) seed meal at 200, 300,400, 500 and 600 g kg?1 into a fish-meal-based diet were fed to rohu, Labeo rohita (Ham.), fingerlings for 60 days and fish performance was studied. Tannin from raw salseed meal could be reduced from 34 to 7 g kg?1 by soaking in water for 16 h at room temperature. In terms of growth response, food conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio, a diet containing 200 g kg?1 soaked salseed meal resulted in significantly (P < 0.01) the best performance of the fish. Apparent protein digestibility (APD) values decreased with increasing level of oilseed meal. Carcass protein was highest in fish fed diets containing 200 g kg?1 soaked salseed meal. The results showed that deoiled salseed meal can be incorporated in carp diets up to 200 g kg?1 and 300 g kg?1 in raw and treated forms respectively.  相似文献

Isoproteic and isoenergetic diets containing 0%, 15%, 30% or 45% heat-processed cocoa pod husk meal (CPHM) were fed to Clarias isheriensis (16.8 ± 2.4 g) for 180 days. Growth rates of catfish fed varying levels of CPHM were similar (P > 0.05). Differences in feed-gain ratio (FGR) or protein efficiency ratio (PER) between treatments were not significant (P > 0.05). Histology of the liver showed no pathological effects of incorporation of CPHM. In a second experiment, C. isheriensis (19.1 ± 3.5 g) were fed isoenergetic diets containing 250, 300, 350 and 400 protein g kg?1 (protein: energy ratios of 21, 25, 29 and 33 mg protein.kJ?1 DE, respectively). Growth rate and FGR improved (P < 0.05) in proportion to the dietary protein level. PER decreased with increase in dietary protein. Carcass protein was lowest (P < 0.05) in catfish fed 250 g protein kg?1, but did not differ among the other diets (P > 0.05). Body fat was highest in catfish fed 250 g protein kg?1 and lowest in fish fed 350 g protein kg?1. These results indicate that CPHM may be a suitable carbohydrate energy source for clariids at a P:E ratio of approximately 29 mg protein.kJ?1 DE.  相似文献

Six test diets with protein levels varying from 250 to 500 g kg?1 were fed to six triplicate groups of summerling (initial weight: 1.56 g) and seven test diets with protein levels varying from 200 to 500 g kg?1 were fed to seven triplicate groups of winterling (initial weight: 9.49 g) for 8 weeks. Weight gain (WG) and feed efficiency (FE) of summerling significantly increased with increasing dietary protein levels from 250 to 350 g kg?1 and slightly declined, but without statistical significance at a dietary protein level of 400 g kg?1, then further significantly decreased with increasing protein levels to 450 and 500 g kg?1; WG of winterling increased significantly with increasing dietary protein levels from 200 to 300 g kg?1 (P < 0.05), and above this level, WG had a tendency to decrease with increasing dietary protein levels. Winterling fed diets with 300 and 400 g kg?1 of dietary protein had significantly higher FE than those fed other diets. WG data analysis by quadratic regressions showed that the optimum dietary protein levels required for the maximum growth of summerling and winterling were 374 and 355 g kg?1 of dry diet respectively. Protein efficiency ratio of both summerling and winterling negatively correlated with levels of dietary protein. The whole body moisture, protein, lipid and ash of summerling after being fed various test diets for 8 weeks were significantly different among treatments (P < 0.05). The whole body moisture and fat of winterling were also significantly affected by dietary protein levels (P < 0.05), while the whole body protein and ash of winterling were not (P > 0.05).  相似文献

The study was to evaluate the effects of dietary fish meal (FM) partially replaced by housefly maggot meal (HMM) on growth, fillet composition and physiological responses of juvenile barramundi, Lates calcarifera. HMM at 100, 150, 200 and 300 g kg?1 was supplemented in the basal diet to replace dietary FM protein. Basal diet without HMM supplementation was used as control. Total of five experimental diets were fed to triplicate groups of juvenile barramundi (initial weight: 9.66 ± 0.22 g) in a flow‐through rearing system for 8 weeks. Fish fed all experimental diets showed no effects (P > 0.05) on weight gain and whole body protein, lipid and moisture content. Fish fed control diet and 100 g kg?1 HMM diet had the highest (P < 0.05) hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, followed by 150 g kg?1 HMM group, the lowest in 200 and 200 g kg?1 HMM groups. Hepatic thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) value was the highest in fish fed 150–300 g kg?1 HMM diets, followed by 100 g kg?1 HMM group and the lowest in fish fed the control diet. Fish fed the 300 g kg?1 HMM diet had lower plasma lysozyme activity than fish fed other diets. The results indicated that up to 300 g kg?1 HMM can be used to substitute dietary FM protein without negative effect on growth. Although physiological responses were also considered, up to 100 g kg?1 HMM in barramundi diet was recommended.  相似文献

Atlantic cod, initial weight 0.26 g, were fed diets varying in added protein from 530 to 830 g kg?1, lipid from 50 to 300 g kg?1 and carbohydrate from 0 to 150 g kg?1 of dry weight, according to a three‐component mixture design. Analysed values of protein and lipid were 500–770 g kg?1 and 30–270 g kg?1, respectively. Analysed carbohydrate levels were as added. Increasing levels of both lipid and carbohydrate had a positive effect on fish growth (P < 10?3), whereas protein levels above 600 g kg?1 gave a reduction in growth (P < 10?4). The effects on growth were evident in fish less than 4 g, whereas fish growth between 4 and 6 g was unaffected by the dietary variation. It is hypothesized that the reduction in growth at high protein levels in fish of less than 4 g could be owing to incomplete utilization of protein, as the stomach of cod is not fully developed before the fish is approximately 1 g. Mortality and cannibalism were high in fish less than 4 g but low when the fish grew from 4 to 6 g. There was a significant decrease in cannibalism with increasing dietary lipid during the first half of the experiment (P < 0.05) and cannibalism was consistently high in fish fed less than 150 g kg?1 lipid. The lipid level in whole fish increased with increasing dietary levels of lipid (P < 10?6) and carbohydrate (P < 10?4), whereas the liver lipid level increased with increasing dietary lipid up to 200 g kg?1 (P < 10?6) and decreased thereafter (P < 10?4). Whole body glycogen increased slightly with increasing levels of dietary carbohydrate (P < 0.05) and was not affected by the other dietary variables. Liver glycogen increased in response to increasing dietary carbohydrate (P < 10?5) and decreasing levels of dietary lipid (P < 10?5). An abrupt increase in liver glycogen was seen with the reduction in dietary lipid from 100 to 50 g kg?1. The hepatosomatic index increased in response to both dietary lipid and carbohydrate (P < 10?6). It is concluded that the protein requirement of young cod is less than 500 g kg?1 of dry diet. Fish of less than 4 g should not be given more than 620 g kg?1 protein and should be supplemented with 150–200 g kg?1 lipid. Carbohydrate up to 150 g kg?1 of dry diet promoted growth and did not seem to affect the fish negatively. Fish above 4 g can be given diets varying in protein and carbohydrate over the wide range of concentrations used in the present study, but lipid supplementation should be restricted to between 100 and 200 g kg?1.  相似文献

The present study investigated the optimum dietary protein level for the maturation of adult Pangasianodon hypophthalmus broodstock. Four isocaloric diets containing 250, 300, 350 and 400 g kg?1 of protein levels were prepared and presented to triplicate groups of fish. The fish (mean weight 770 ± 17.23 g and 712 ± 23.42 g for females and males respectively) were stocked in outdoor canvas tanks (4 m × 1 m × 1 m) at a stocking density of 20 fish/tank with a male: female ratio of 1:4. The fish were fed the test diets to satiation twice daily for 6 months. Gonadosomatic index (GSI) and fecundity were similar among fish fed dietary protein levels, higher than those fed on the 250 g kg?1. Final weight, weight gain, oocyte weight were significantly highest (P < 0.05) for the fish fed 350 and 400 g kg?1 dietary protein treatments. Only the 350 g kg?1 dietary protein treatment resulted in significantly best ovipositor diameter and % ripe egg. Amino acid levels were highest in the muscle followed by the oocyte and liver of fish fed 350 and 400 g kg?1 dietary protein levels. The present results suggested that a dietary protein level of 350 g kg?1 can be recommended for the development of P. hypophthalmus broodstock.  相似文献

An 84‐day feeding trial was conducted to study the effect of different levels of dietary protein, 250 (P25), 300 (P30), 350 (P35), 400 (P40) and 450 g (P45) kg?1 dry matter (DM) on growth, feed intake, feed utilization and carcass composition of bagrid catfish Horabagrus brachysoma fingerlings. Triplicate groups of fingerlings with mean initial body weight of 2.2 g were fed the experimental diets twice daily, till satiation, in 150‐L tanks supplied with flow‐through freshwater. Daily dry matter intake by the fingerlings decreased significantly (P < 0.05) when fed P25 diet, containing 250 g protein kg?1. The highest body weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER), and the lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) were observed in fish fed 350 g protein kg?1 diet. The fish fed with P45 diet had the lowest (P < 0.05) carcass lipid content. The polynomial regression analysis indicates that H. brachysoma fingerlings require 391 g dietary crude protein kg?1 diet.  相似文献

The ability of juvenile carnivorous southern catfish (Silurus meridionalis Chen) to use different levels, kinds and physic state (glucose, raw cornstarch and precooked cornstarch) of dietary carbohydrate was evaluated in term of growth performance. All diets contained 100 g kg?1 lipid and 16 kJ metabolizable energy. Three isonitrogeneus (400 g kg?1) diets were formulated to contain 150 g kg?1 raw cornstarch, precooked cornstarch and glucose. Another three isonitrogeneus (300 g kg?1) diets were formulated to contain 300 g kg?1 raw cornstarch, precooked cornstarch and glucose. A control diet was formulated with no carbohydrate containing 500 g kg?1 protein. Each experimental diet was fed to four tanks of 10 fish (28.3 ± 0.5 g) for 8 weeks at 27.5 °C. Specific growth rate (SGR) of 300 g kg?1 glucose diet was significantly lower than those of other diets (P < 0.05). Feeding rates (FR) of 300 g kg?1 glucose and control diets were significantly lower than those of the other diets (P < 0.05). Feed efficiency (FE) was significantly decreased with increased dietary carbohydrate level (P < 0.05). Feed efficiency of the 300 g kg?1 glucose diet was significantly lower than those of the 300 g kg?1 raw and precooked cornstarch diets (P < 0.05). The protein efficiency ratio (PER) was significantly increased with dietary carbohydrate level except that of the 300 g kg?1 glucose diet, which was lowest among all diets (P < 0.05). The results suggested that both dietary starch and glucose were utilized for energy in southern catfish and had a protein‐sparing effect. At 150 g kg?1 inclusion level, the utilization of raw and precooked cornstarch and glucose did not vary significantly, but a higher dietary glucose level (300 g kg?1) had a markedly detrimental effect on growth in southern catfish.  相似文献

Economical, nutritious diets for hybrid striped bass (HSTB) are required for the continued expansion and sustainability of this industry. Turkey meal (TM) is a by‐product of the US turkey industry and is a potentially‐valuable local, alternative protein source for use in aquaculture diets because of its excellent nutritional composition and quality. TM may substitute for more expensive fish meal (FM)‐based diets; however, there are no published data with regard to using this ingredient in sunshine bass diets. Therefore, a 16‐week feeding trial was conducted with juvenile (36 g) sunshine bass (Morone chrysops × Morone saxatilis) to evaluate growth, feed conversion and body composition when fed diets with decreasing levels of FM (300, 200, 100 and 0 g kg?1) and increasing levels of turkey meal (0, 97, 175 and 264 g kg?1). Four practical diets were formulated to contain 400 g kg?1 protein and similar energy levels. Twenty fish were stocked into each of the 12, 1200‐L circular tanks and were fed twice daily ad libitum. At the conclusion of the feeding trial, there were no significant (P > 0.05) differences in final mean weight, percentage weight gain, specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio among treatments, which averaged 363.7 g, 904.3%, 2.02% day?1 and 1.73, respectively. Percentage survival of fish fed diet 4 (0 g kg?1 FM and 264 g kg?1 TM) was significantly (P > 0.05) lower (survival = 88.3%) than fish fed diet 3 (100 g kg?1 FM and 175 g kg?1 TM; survival = 95%), but not different from fish fed diet 1 (survival = 92.5%) and fish fed diet 2 (survival = 93.3%). Fillet weight and amount of abdominal fat were not significantly different among all treatments and averaged 258 and 58 g kg?1, respectively. Fish fed diet 1 (300 g kg?1 FM, 0 g kg?1 TM) and diet 2 (200 g kg?1 FM and 970 g kg?1 TM) had a significantly (P < 0.05) lower hepatosomatic index (2.83 and 3.01, respectively) than fish fed diet 4 (3.33), but not different (P > 0.05) compared to fish fed diet 3 (3.14). Lipid in the fillet of fish fed diet 2 (197 g kg?1) was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than fish fed all other diets; and the percentage lipid in the fillet of fish fed diet 1 (126 g kg?1) was significantly lower than fish fed diets 2 and 4, but not different (P >0.05) compared to fish fed diet 3. Fillet moisture, protein and ash were similar among fish fed all diets and averaged 748, 798 g kg?1 and 51.0 g kg?1 (dry‐matter basis), respectively. The amino acid composition of fillets was similar among all treatments with a few slight significant differences. Results from the present study indicate that tank‐grown sunshine bass can be fed a diet containing 264 g kg?1 TM with 0 g kg?1 FM, compared to diets containing up to 300 g kg?1 FM, without adverse effects on weight gain, growth rate, feed conversion and body composition. Further research should be conducted using lower‐protein diets to determine minimum protein level for tank‐grown sunshine bass.  相似文献

A 63‐day growth trial was undertaken to estimate the effects of supplemented lysine and methionine with different dietary protein levels on growth performance and feed utilization in Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Six plant‐based practical diets were prepared, and 32CP, 30CP and 28CP diets were formulated to contain 320 g kg?1, 300 g kg?1 and 280 g kg?1 crude protein without lysine and methionine supplementation. In the supplementary group, lysine and methionine were added to formulate 32AA, 30AA and 28AA diets with 320 g kg?1, 300 g kg?1 and 280 g kg?1 dietary crude protein, respectively, according to the whole body amino acid composition of Grass Carp. In the groups without lysine and methionine supplementation, weight gain (WG, %) and specific growth rate (SGR, % day?1) of the fish fed 32CP diet were significantly higher than that of fish fed 30CP and 28CP diets, but no significant differences were found between 30CP‐ and 28CP‐diet treatments. WG and SGR of the fish fed 32AA and 30AA diets were significantly higher than that of fish fed 28AA diets, and the performance of grass carp was also significantly improved when fed diets with lysine and methionine supplementation (P < 0.05), and the interaction between dietary protein level and amino acid supplementation was noted between WG and SGR (P < 0.05). Feed intake (FI) was significantly increased with the increase in dietary protein level and the supplementation of lysine and methionine (P < 0.05), but feed conversion ratio (FCR) showed a significant decreasing trend (P < 0.05). Two days after total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) concentration test, the values of TAN discharged by the fish 8 h after feeding were 207.1, 187.5, 170.6, 157.3, 141.3 and 128.9 mg kg?1 body weight for fish fed 32CP, 32AA, 30CP, 30AA, 28CP and 28AA diets, respectively. TAN excretion by grass carp was reduced in plant‐based practical diets with the increase in dietary protein level and the supplementation of lysine and methionine (P < 0.05). The results indicated that lysine and methionine supplementation to the plant protein sources‐based practical diets can improve growth performance and feed utilization of grass carp, and the dietary crude protein can be reduced from 320 g kg?1 to 300 g kg?1 through balancing amino acids profile. The positive effect was not observed at 280 g kg?1 crude protein level.  相似文献

Quantitative l-lysine requirement of juvenile grouper Epinephelus coioides   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
An 8‐week feeding trial was conducted to determine the quantitative lysine requirement of juvenile grouper Epinephelus coioides (initial mean weight: 15.84 ± 0.23 g, mean ± SD) in eighteen 500‐L indoors flow‐through circular fibreglass tanks provided with sand‐filtered aerated seawater by feeding diets containing six levels of l ‐lysine ranging from 19.2 to 39.5 g kg?1 dry diet in 4 g kg?1 increments. The diets, in which 250 g crude protein kg?1 diet came from fish meal and soybean protein concentrate, and 230 g kg?1 from crystalline amino acids, were formulated to simulate the amino acid profile of 480 g kg?1 whole chicken egg protein except for lysine. Each diet was assigned to three tanks in a completely randomized design. Grouper were fed to apparent satiation twice daily during the week and once daily on weekends. Weight gain and specific growth rate increased with increasing levels of dietary lysine up to 27.2 g kg?1 (P < 0.05) and remained nearly the same thereafter (P > 0.05). Feed efficiency was the poorest for fish fed the lowest lysine diet (P < 0.05) and showed no significant differences among other treatments (P > 0.05). Survival could not be related to dietary treatments. Body composition remained relatively constant except for lipid contents in muscle and liver. Total essential amino acid contents in liver increased with dietary lysine level although there was a slight decline for fish fed the highest lysine level of diet. Plasma protein content increased with increasing dietary lysine level (P < 0.05), but cholesterol, triacylglycerol and glucose contents were more variable and could not be related to dietary treatments. Dietary lysine level significantly influenced morphometrical parameters (condition factor, hepatosomatic index and intraperitoneal fat ratio) of juvenile grouper (P > 0.05). Broken‐line analysis of weight gain indicated the dietary lysine requirement of juvenile grouper to be 28.3 g kg?1 diet or 55.6 g kg?1 dietary protein.  相似文献

Four approximately isoenergetic isonitrogenous diets containing 0, 150, 300 and 510 g kg?1 mangrove seeds as a replacement for dietary corn in bluespot mullet Valamugil seheli (Valenciennes) commercial feed were fed to triplicate groups (100 fish each) of fingerlings (0.5 g) for 10 weeks. The closed re‐circulating system consisted of 12 cubical tanks (2.25 m3 each). Fish were fed three times a day to satiation. Growth ranked the diets 300 > 150 > 0 > 510 g kg?1 mangrove seed substitution and in most cases differences in fish weight or SGR were significant (P < 0.05). Proximate composition of fish bodies was affected (P < 0.05) by replacing dietary corn with mangrove seeds in test diets. As the level of mangrove seed incorporation increased, fish body moisture, ash, and protein increased and body fat reduced. Inclusion of mangrove seed up to 300 g kg?1 as a replacement for corn caused gradual improvement in fish growth performance. Further increase in mangrove seed inclusion (510 g kg?1) had a negative effect on fish growth performance.  相似文献

Protein requirement of silver barb, Puntius gonionotus fingerlings   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
Five iso‐energetic (15.05 MJ kg?1) semi‐purified diets with graded levels of crude protein, i.e. 200 (D‐1), 250 (D‐2), 300 (D‐3), 350 (D‐4) and 400 (D‐5) g kg?1 diet were fed to Puntius gonionotus fingerlings (average weight 0.88 ± 0.03 g) in triplicate groups (15 healthy fish per replicate) for a period of 90 days to determine the optimum protein requirement of the fish. Fifteen flow‐through cement tanks of 100‐L capacity with a flow rate of 0.5 L min?1 were used for rearing the fish. Specific growth rate (SGR), food conversion (food gain) ratio (FCR), nutrient digestibility and retention, digestive enzyme activity, RNA : DNA ratio and tissue composition were used as response parameters with respect to dietary protein levels and feed intake. The mean weight gains of fish after 90 days were 10.84 ± 0.27, 11.07 ± 0.12, 14.09 ± 0.20, 11.27 ± 0.12 and 10.91 ± 0.25 g for D‐1, D‐2, D‐3, D‐4 and D‐5, respectively. Maximum SGR (3.13 ± 0.02% per day), RNA : DNA ratio (10.09 ± 0.09), tissue protein content (160 ± 0.1 g kg?1 wet weight), protease activity (25.27 ± 0.47 μg of leucine liberated mg tissue per protein h?1 at 37 °C) and minimum FCR (1.60 ± 0.02) was found in D‐3 group fed with 300 g kg?1 protein level. All these parameters were negatively affected with the further increase in protein level in the diet. Digestibility of protein, lipid and energy was not affected because of variation in dietary protein levels and nitrogen intake of fish. Maximum energy retention (27.68 ± 0.12%) was recorded at 300 g kg?1 dietary crude protein fed group. However, using broken line regression analysis, the maximum growth was found to be at 317.7 g kg?1 dietary protein. Hence, it may be concluded that the protein requirement of P. gonionotus fingerling is 317.7 g kg?1 diet with a resultant P/E ratio of 21.1 g protein MJ?1.  相似文献

Formulated feeds containing a common ingredient mixture (CIM) consisting of fishmeal (anchovies), shrimp meal (Acetes), squid meal (Loligo) and soybean meal incorporated in ascending levels to obtain protein levels ranging from 180 to 560 g kg?1(18.34%, 25.35%, 36.27%, 46.61% and 56.28%) and an energy level of 19 MJ kg?1 were fed to the marine ornamental fish, striped damsel, Dascyllus aruanus <200 mg and 200–300 mg in size for periods of 35 and 63 days. The <200 mg fish accepted particles <0.5 mm in size and showed maximum growth in terms of absolute growth rate (AGR), relative growth rate (RGR) and specific growth rate (SGR) with the feed containing 380 g kg?1 CIM having a protein content of 362 g kg?1. Second‐degree polynomial regression equations fitted confirmed these observations with a predicted requirement of 360 g kg?1 protein. In fish weighing 200–300 mg, growth was not significantly different (P>0.05) in fish fed with feeds containing 380 and 580 g kg?1 CIM with 360 and 470 g kg?1 protein. With these data, the second‐degree polynomial regressions showed that a protein level of 464 g kg?1 would result in an RGR of 107%. The feeds were well accepted by the damselfish, showing good colour retention and health.The cost of the feeds excluding processing costs ranges from US $ 1.35 to 3.36 kg?1. This is the first report on the development of formulated feeds for damselfish that would help in rearing and aquarium keeping of damselfish worldwide.  相似文献

The effects of varying dietary protein level (200, 250, 300 and 350 g protein kg?1 diet) and plant : animal protein ratio (1 : 2, 1 : 1, 1 : 1.5 and 2 : 1) on growth of juvenile Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man) with approximately 0.27 g initial body weight were evaluated in two separate 30‐days study using practical diets. Significantly lower survival rate was recorded in prawns fed a diet containing 200 g kg?1 dietary protein (66.67%) whilst 300 and 350 g kg?1 protein gave the highest survival (96.67%). Significant differences (P < 0.05) in feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio were recorded among different dietary protein levels. The results of the study showed that highest growth rate and maximum utilization of protein were recorded in prawns fed 300 g kg?1 dietary protein and further increase in the dietary protein does not have any added advantage. There existed no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) in the specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, weight gain and survival rate among the juveniles of M. rosenbergii fed varying plant–animal protein ratios at 300 g kg?1 protein. Better‐feed conversion ratio was recorded in diets having a plant to animal protein ratio of 1 : 1 (2.62) followed by 1 : 1.5 (2.66), however there was no significant difference between them (P > 0.05). Based on the present study, it would be possible to replace animal protein by low‐cost plant protein in prawn feed. Better growth performance in juveniles of M. rosenbergii can be achieved by the incorporation of equal proportions of plant and animal protein (A : P = 1) in the diet.  相似文献

Growth, reproductive performance, muscle and egg composition were investigated in grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella (Valenciennnes), fed hydrilla or formulated diets with varying protein levels. Five experimental diets, with varying levels (20%, 25%, 30%, 35% and 40%) of crude protein (CP), were used. One of the fish groups was fed hydrilla. Fish (44.1±0.3 cm; 913±9 g) were stocked (20 tank?1) in outdoor concrete tanks (20 × 10 × 1.5 m) in duplicate, and fed to satiation, twice daily, at 09:00 and 17:00 hours for the experimental duration of 360 days. High (P<0.05) weight gain was recorded in fish fed 30% and 35% CP diets. However, values for gonadosomatic index (GSI), egg diameter, relative fecundity (eggs kg?1 body weight), fertilizability and hatchability (%) were comparable (P>0.05) in fish at ≥25% of dietary protein intake. Hydrilla‐fed fish exhibited lower (P<0.05) values for the measured parameters. Crude protein content in muscle increased with dietary protein level. Highest (P<0.05) muscle protein was obtained in fish fed 35% CP diet. Muscle fat was comparable (P>0.05) among fish receiving formulated diets. Ash content was not significantly (P>0.05) different among fish of different dietary groups. Moisture content in fish fed formulated diets, with the exception of 20% CP diet, did not vary significantly (P>0.05). Eggs of fish fed formulated diets contained higher CP and fat contents than those of hydrilla‐fed fish. High (P<0.05) moisture content was noted in the eggs of hydrilla‐fed fish. Ctenopharyngodon idella fed formulated diet, with a minimum of 25% CP, showed better reproductive performance than those fed hydrilla.  相似文献

A feeding trial was conducted using isoenergetic practical diets to evaluate the effects of the dietary protein level on growth performance, feed utilization and digestive enzyme activity of the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis. Four experimental diets were formulated containing 250, 300, 350 and 400 g kg?1 protein and 16 kJ g?1 gross energy. Each diet was randomly assigned to triplicate groups of juvenile crab with mean initial body weight 3.56 ± 0.16 g and mean shell width 15.31 ± 0.06 mm. Juvenile crab were reared in indoor flow‐through system consisting of 12 plastic tanks (1.0 m × 0.6 m × 0.5 m) and fed diets twice daily at 6–8% of body weight for 12 weeks. Performance was judged on the basis of growth (specific growth rate of weight, SGRG; specific growth rate of shell width, SGRSW), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER). A decreased FCR was observed with increasing dietary protein levels. Both SGRG and SGRSW significantly increased with increasing dietary protein levels up to 350 g kg?1, whereas there were no significant differences for protein levels from 350–400 g kg?1. Application of broken line regression analysis to SGRG provided an estimate of 347.8 g kg?1 dietary protein for maximal growth. The highest PER was observed in crab fed the diet containing 350 g kg?1 protein (P < 0.05). The percent survival was not affected (P > 0.05) by the different dietary treatments. No significant differences were observed in the apparent digestibility coefficients of crude lipid and dry matter among dietary treatments (P > 0.05). However, the apparent digestibility coefficients of crude protein and energy in crab fed different protein levels significantly increased with increasing dietary protein level (P < 0.05). Both amylase and protease activities in the intestine of E. sinensis were studied. The amylase activity decreased significantly (P < 0.05) with increased dietary protein level and protease activity increased. Regression analysis showed a negative effect of inclusion of dietary protein level on amylase activity (P < 0.05). However, protease activities were found to be positively correlated (P < 0.05) with dietary protein level. The protein content of the crab significantly increased with dietary protein levels up to 350 g kg?1 (P < 0.05), but no significant differences (P > 0.05) were founded with protein levels higher than 350 g kg?1.  相似文献

Two feeding trials were conducted to determine the minimum dietary protein level producing maximum growth, and the optimum protein to energy ratio in diets for red porgy (Pagrus pagrus) fingerlings, respectively. In the first trial, six isoenergetic diets were formulated with protein levels ranging from 400 to 650 g kg?1 in increments of 50 g kg?1, and fed for 11 weeks to 2.8 g average initial weight fish. Weight gain, specific growth rate and feed efficiency were significantly higher with diets containing higher protein levels, when compared with dietary levels below 500 g kg?1. The highest protein efficiency ratios were obtained in fish fed 500 g kg?1 dietary protein. The minimum dietary protein level producing maximum fish growth was found to be 500 g kg?1. In the second trial, 15 g average initial weight fish were fed for 12 weeks, six diets containing three different lipid levels (100, 150 and 200 g kg?1) combined with two protein levels (450 and 500 g kg?1). Weight gain values increased when dietary lipids increased from 100 to 150 g kg?1, with a further decrease for 200 g kg?1 lipids in diets; the lowest fish growth being supported by 200 g kg?1 dietary lipids. Fish growth was significantly higher when dietary protein increased from 450 to 500 g kg?1. There was no evidence of a protein‐sparing effect of dietary lipids. Liver protein and lipid contents were low when compared with other fish species. All diet assayed produced high liver glycogen accumulation. The recommended protein and lipid levels in diets for red porgy fingerlings were 500 and 150 g kg?1, respectively.  相似文献

A study was conducted to examine the use of corn distillers’ by‐products in diets and the effects of additional dietary fat on channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, performance. Juvenile channel catfish (initial weight: 12.6 g per fish) were stocked in flow‐through aquaria and fed one of six practical diets for 9 weeks. Fish fed the control + fat diet consumed more diet and had higher feed efficiency ratio (FER) than fish fed the control diet, but weight gain was not significantly different between fish fed these two diets. Fish fed the diet containing 300 g kg?1 distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) consumed more diet and gained more weight, but had similar FER compared with fish fed the control + fat diet. The diet containing 200 g kg?1 high‐protein distillers grains (HPDDG) resulted in similar diet consumption, weight gain and FER as the control + fat diet. Fish fed the diet containing 100 g kg?1 distillers solubles (DS) consumed more diet, but had similar weight gain and FER compared with fish fed the 300 g kg?1 DDGS diet. The presence of distillers solubles in the diet (300 g kg?1 DDGS, 100 g kg?1 DS, 100 g kg?1 EDS diets) appears to increase diet consumption, weight gain, and FER over the control diets with or without additional fat.  相似文献
