An 8‐week feeding trial was conducted to estimate the optimum dietary protein to energy (P/E) ratio in juvenile olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. Eight experimental diets were formulated with two energy levels and four protein levels at each energy level. Two energy levels of 12.5 and 16.7 kJ g?1 diets were included at crude protein (CP) levels of 25%, 30%, 35% and 45% with 12.5 kJ g?1, and CP levels of 35%, 45%, 50% and 60% with 16.7 kJ g?1. After 1 week of the conditioning period, fish initially averaging 8.1±0.08 g (mean±SD) were randomly distributed into the aquarium as groups of 15 fish. Each diet was fed on a dry‐matter basis to fish in three randomly selected aquariums at a rate of 3–5% of total wet body weight per day for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks of the feeding trial, weight gain (WG), feed efficiency ratio and specific growth rate of fish fed 45% CP with 16.7 kJ g?1 energy diet were significantly higher than those from the other dietary treatments (P<0.05). WG of fish fed 12.5 kJ g?1 energy diets increased with the increase of dietary protein levels. However, WG of fish fed 16.7 kJ g?1 energy diets increased with the increase of dietary protein levels up to 45% CP and then decreased when fish fed 50% and 60% CP diets. Both dietary protein and energy affected protein retention efficiency and energy retention efficiency. Haemoglobin (Hb) of fish fed 35% and 45% CP diets with 12.5 kJ g?1 energy were significantly high and not different from Hb of fish fed 45% and 50% CP diets with 16.7 kJ g?1 energy. Haematocrit of fish fed 45% CP diet with 16.7 kJ g?1 energy was significantly higher than those from fish fed 25% and 30% CP diets with 12.5 kJ g?1 energy (P< 0.05). Based on the results of this experiment, we concluded that the optimum dietary P/E ratio was 27.5 mg protein kJ?1 with diet containing 45% CP and 16.7 kJ g?1 energy in juvenile olive flounder.  相似文献

Ten isonitrogenous casein–gelatin‐based diets were formulated to contain five estimated metabolizable energy concentrations (10.92, 12.29, 13.63, 14.82 and 16.16 kJ g?1) at two carbohydrate‐to‐lipid ratios (CHO : L, 5.3 and 12.8, g : g) in a 5 × 2 factorial arrangement. Each diet was assigned to triplicate groups of 11 piracanjuba fingerlings (5.25 ± 0.14 g) and fed to apparent satiation twice a day for 90 days. Higher daily weight gain was obtained by fish fed the 13.63 kJ g?1 diets for both CHO : L ratios. There was a significant reduction of feed consumption when dietary energy concentration increased above 13.63 kJ g?1. Feed conversion ratio and apparent net energy retention improved as dietary energy increased. Apparent net protein retention tended to be lower in the highest and lowest dietary energy concentrations. The results suggest that dietary lipid energy was more efficiently utilized by piracanjuba fingerlings than carbohydrate energy. Body composition and hepatosomatic index (HSI) were not influenced by dietary CHO : L ratio. However, an increase in dietary energy concentration beyond 13.63 kJ g?1 resulted in a significant increment in lipid deposition, while body moisture and HSI decreased. Our findings indicate that at 300 g kg?1 dietary crude protein, a CHO : L ratio of 5.3 is recommended for piracanjuba, and the required energy is either 13.63 kJ g?1 if raised for aquaculture or 14.82 kJ g?1 if destined to stock enhancement.  相似文献

Three experiments were conducted that were designed to evaluate our ability to predict essential amino acid (EAA) needs of hybrid striped bass using the quantified lysine requirement and whole‐body amino acid concentrations. In the first experiment, six diets containing various amino acid profiles were fed to triplicate groups of fish initially weighing 7.7 g per fish. At the end of the 8‐week experiment, no significant differences were detected in growth rates or feed efficiencies (FE) between fish fed a practical diet containing 510 g kg?1 herring fish meal (FM) and fish fed a purified diet containing the amino acid profile of herring fish meal (CAA‐FM). Growth responses of fish fed purified diets containing 100 (HSB), 110 (HSB110), 120 (HSB120) or 140 g 100 g?1 (HSB140) of the amino acid profile of hybrid striped bass whole‐bodies were significantly lower than those of fish fed diet FM. In the second experiment, triplicate groups of fish (5.6 g per fish) were fed diets containing various energy : protein (E : P) ratios (34.8, 41.2, 47.5 and 53.9 kJ g?1 protein) and one of two amino acid profiles (CAA‐FM and HSB120) in a 4 × 2 factorial design. Carbohydrate concentration was varied to achieve the desired energy concentrations. At the end of the 8‐week experiment, weight gain and FE were significantly higher in fish fed diets formulated to simulate the amino acid profile of herring fish meal (CAA‐FM) compared with fish fed diets formulated to contain 120 g 100 g?1 of the amino acid profile of hybrid striped bass whole‐bodies (HSB120). Weight gain, FE and survival data indicated the optimum dietary E : P was 41.2 kJ g?1 protein. Dietary treatments in the final experiment included three amino acid profiles and four levels of lipid in a 3 × 4 incomplete factorial design. Dietary amino acid treatments included the amino acid profile of herring fish meal (CAA‐FM) or 120 g 100 g?1 of the predicted EAA requirement profile for hybrid striped bass (HSB120). The amino acid profile of the remaining dietary treatment (PRED+) was similar to that of the HSB120 treatment, but contained additional threonine, isoleucine and tryptophan. Diets CAA‐FM and HSB120 contained either 90, 130, 170 or 210 g kg?1 lipid, whereas diet PRED+ contained 130 g kg?1 lipid. Dietary treatments were fed for 10 weeks to triplicate groups of fish initially weighing 81.0 g per fish. Weight gain and FE were not significantly affected by dietary amino acid profile. Feed efficiency was significantly reduced in fish fed diets containing 210 g kg?1 lipid compared with fish fed diets containing 90–170 g kg?1 lipid. Intraperitoneal fat (IPF) ratio and hepatosomatic index (HSI) values generally increased as dietary lipid concentrations increased. Total liver lipid concentrations were significantly reduced in fish fed diets containing 210 g kg?1 lipid compared with those of fish fed 90–130 g kg?1 lipid. Results of this study indicate an appropriate dietary amino acid profile can be predicted for hybrid striped bass using the quantified lysine requirement and whole‐body amino acid concentrations. Further, the optimum E : P appears to be 40 kJ g?1 protein.  相似文献

Four isonitrogenous [30% crude protein (CP)] diets containing different gross energy levels (13.39, 16.74, 20.50 and 23.85 kJ g−1) were evaluated to determine the optimum energy for the Malawian tilapia Oreochromis shiranus. Each tank (120 L) was stocked with 18 juvenile tilapia (average weight 7.32±0.25 g) and they were fed the experimental diets for 10 weeks. The final average weight of the fish was approximately twofold higher (range: 12.64–16.77 g) than the initial weight. The dietary energy significantly (P<0.05) influenced growth. The average weight of fish fed dietary energy level 20.50 kJ g−1 was significantly higher (P<0.05) than the weight of the fish fed any of the other experimental diets. There was no significant difference in growth of fish fed 13.39 and 16.74 kJ g−1 energy levels, but 23.85 kJ g−1 produced the lowest growth rates. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) between feed intake across the treatments. Feed conversion ratio (range: 2.2–3.0) and protein efficiency ratio (range: 1.10–1.50) among the dietary treatment groups were in agreement with trends for weight gain. Dietary energy level significantly (P<0.05) influenced the body composition of O. shiranus. Whole‐body moisture (range: 64.27–67.15%) and ash (range: 13.21–14.73%) decreased in all treatments. Whole‐body protein (range: 63.57–66.16%) increased only in groups fed on the diet containing 20.50 kJ g−1. Whole‐body fat (range: 13.58–17.27%) and gross energy (range: 28.411–33.210 kJ g−1) increased significantly (P<0.05). Fish survival was 100% in all treatments. The results demonstrated that to maximize growth at a temperature of 23°C, O. shiranus should be fed diets containing 20.50 kJ g−1 gross energy.  相似文献

This study aimed to assess the effect of soybean meal (SBM) and cottonseed meal (CSM), as partial replacement of dietary fish meal on growth, feed efficiency (FE) and body mineral composition of juvenile vundu (Heterobranchus longifilis). Five iso‐nitrogenous (390 g kg?1 crude protein) and iso‐caloric (18 kJ g?1, gross energy) diets (Control, SBM30, SBM60, CSM30 and CSM60) were fed to triplicate groups of 40 fish (initial mean weight: 12 g) in each tank (0.9 m3). Over a 7‐week feeding period, significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed on growth, FE and body mineral composition between treatments. Fish‐fed CSM‐based diets and 600 g kg?1 SBM‐based diet had reduced growth and reduced feed and protein efficiencies when compared with those fed diet containing 300 g kg?1 SBM or the control diet. Data from body mineral composition in response to dietary treatment could be divided into two groups. The first group refers to elements such as Mg and Fe for which carcass and fillet composition did not show significant differences with dietary level of SBM or CSM. Ca, P, K, Zn and Mn composed the second group of minerals whose concentrations in fish body were significantly reduced in fish‐fed SBM60. In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that although solvent‐extracted SBM and CSM are often reported safe for fish, they can only partially replace fish meal as a source of protein in compound feed for vundu at a limited amount between 300 and 600 g kg?1 for SBM and <300 g kg?1 for CSM.  相似文献

Effect of varying dietary lysine levels on growth, feed conversion, nutrient retention, lysine retention efficiency and haematological indices of Heteropneustes fossilis fry (2.97 ± 0.11 cm; 4.78 ± 0.31 g) was studied by conducting a 12‐week feeding trial. Isonitrogenous (450 g kg?1 CP) and isocaloric (17.97 kJ g?1 GE) amino acid test diets with graded concentrations of l ‐lysine (18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 g kg?1 dry diet) were fed to triplicate groups of fish to apparent satiation twice daily at 17 and 17:30 h. Maximum thermal growth coefficient (TGC, 0.82), best feed conversion ratio (FCR, 1.28) highest protein retention efficiency (PRE, 36%), energy retention efficiency (ERE, 79%) and lysine retention efficiency (LRE, 75%) were noted at 24 g kg?1 lysine of dry diet. Body protein was also found to be in line with growth data and peaked at 24 g kg?1 lysine of dry diet. Similarly, superior somatic and haematological indices were exhibited by the groups fed dietary lysine at 24 g kg?1 of the dry diet. However, exponential analysis of dietary lysine intake against TGC, lysine retention and protein retention indicated that inclusion of dietary lysine in the range of 13.24–14.14 g kg?1 dry diet, corresponding to 29.42–31.42 g kg?1 dietary protein, is essential for faster growth of this fish.  相似文献

A growth trial was conducted to feed juvenile tilapia (initial weight, 9.1±0.1 g), Oreochromis niloticus×O. aureus, isonitrogenous diets for 8 weeks. Six diets were formulated containing 29% crude protein from casein and gelatin, 10% crude fat from soybean oil and refined soybean lecithin and varying levels of corn starch ranging from 6% to 46% at increments of 8%, with corresponding energy to protein (E/P) ratios of 35.6, 37.9, 40.2, 42.5, 44.8 and 47.1 kJ g?1. Weight gain (WG), specific growth rate, feed efficiency ratio and protein efficiency ratio were significantly higher in fish fed diets with starch ≥22% (or E/P ratio ≥40.2 kJ g?1) than in fish fed diets with 6% or 14% starch (or E/P ratio of 35.6 or 37.9 kJ g?1). No further improvement was measured when dietary starch content increased beyond 22%. Body protein retention showed the same general pattern as WG, and was highest in fish fed the 22% starch diet. Body composition was significantly affected by dietary starch level. Fish fed diets with starch ≥30% had significantly higher lipid content than fish fed diets with 6% or 14% starch. Ash content was negatively correlated with starch inclusion level, but moisture and protein contents did not show discernible trends among treatments. Results indicate that hybrid tilapia can utilize 46% dietary starch without growth retardation, while 22% starch in feed for juvenile tilapia containing 29% protein and 10% lipid, or an E/P ratio of 37.9 kJ g?1 is optimal.  相似文献

An 8‐week feeding trial was conducted in a recycling water system at 28 ± 1 °C to investigate protein to energy ratio (P/E ratio) in African catfish Clarias gariepinus (10.9 ± 0.04 g). Six fishmeal‐based diets of two protein levels (330 and 430 g kg?1), each with three lipid levels (40, 80 and 120 g kg?1) resulted in P/E ratios ranging from 15.5 to 21.3 mg protein kJ?1 gross energy (GE) were fed to 20 fish (per 30‐L tank) in triplicate. Fish were fed 50 g kg?1 of their body weight per day adjusted fortnightly. Significantly higher (P < 0.05) growth rates and feed conversion efficiency were evident in fish fed with higher protein diet. The highest growth rate was found by fish fed 430 g kg?1 protein, 21.2 kJ?1 GE with a P/E ratio of 20.5 mg protein kJ?1 GE. Significantly indifferent (P > 0.05) values of protein utilization were found in‐between the both (higher and lower) protein diets. Higher lipid deposition (P < 0.05) in whole body and liver was observed with increasing dietary lipid level at each protein diet and as higher (P < 0.05) for the lower protein diets. Liver glycogen tended to decrease with increasing gross energy at each protein diet and higher protein diet showed comparatively lower values (P > 0.05). Digestive enzyme activities (protease and lipase) and histological examination of intestine and liver of fish fed varying P/E diets found no significant differences in response to experimental diets. The study reveals that African catfish C. gariepinus performed best the diet containing 430 g kg?1, 21.2 kJ g?1 and 20.5 mg protein kJ g?1 GE protein, gross energy and P/E ratio, respectively.  相似文献

An 8‐week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary tryptophan concentration on weight gain and feed efficiencies of fingerling Indian major carp, Cirrhinus mrigala. Six isonitrogenous (40% crude protein) and isocaloric (17.90 kJ g?1) amino acid test diets containing casein, gelatin and l ‐crystalline amino acids with graded levels of l ‐tryptophan (0.06, 0.16, 0.26, 0.36, 0.46 and 0.56 g 100 g?1 dry diet) were formulated. Fish (4.25±0.30 cm, 0.62±0.02 g) were randomly stocked in triplicate groups in 70 L (water volume 55 L) flow‐through (1–1.5 L min?1) indoor circular tanks and fed experimental diets at 5% of their body weight/day in two feedings at 08:00 and 16:00 hours. Maximum live weight gain (277%), lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) (1.50) and highest protein efficiency ratio (PER) (1.66) were measured at 0.36% dietary tryptophan. The relationship between dietary tryptophan levels and weight gain, FCR and PER data were described using second‐degree polynomial regression analysis indicating the tryptophan requirement at 0.42, 0.39 and 0.38 g 100 g?1 of dry diet respectively. Whole body moisture decreased with increasing tryptophan up to 0.36%. Significantly (P<0.05) higher protein content was evident in fish fed diet containing 0.36% tryptophan. Body fat increased significantly (P<0.05) in fish fed with different tryptophan concentrations except those fed 0.36% tryptophan where a significantly lower fat content was noted. Significantly (P<0.05) higher ash content was reported at 0.06% and 0.16% tryptophan levels. Survival was 100% in fish fed all the diets except those fed 0.06% tryptophan. Based on the results, diets for fingerling C. mrigala should contain tryptophan at 0.38 g 100 g?1 dry diet, corresponding to 0.95 g 100 g?1 dietary protein for optimum growth and efficient feed utilization.  相似文献

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 conducted in triplicate for 8 weeks. Diets were fed twice a day at 08:00 and 16:00 hours at 5% body weight day?1. The ration size and feeding schedule were worked out before the start of the feeding trial. Highest weight gain (304%) and best feed conversion ratio (1.43) were evident in fish fed diet containing 1.75% dietary threonine. Second‐degree polynomial regression analysis of weight gain, feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio data indicated the dietary threonine requirement to be at 1.84%, 1.81% and 1.78%, respectively, corresponding to 4.60%, 4.52% and 4.45% of dietary protein. Minimum carcass moisture, fat and maximum carcass protein were evident in fish fed 1.75% threonine level. However, ash content did not affect body composition, except the 1.00% threonine level, which showed a significantly higher ash content value. Based on the above results, it is recommended that the diet for C. mrigala should contain threonine at 1.80 g 100 g?1 dry diet, corresponding to 4.50 g 100 g?1 dietary protein for optimum growth and efficient feed utilization.  相似文献

Six isonitrogenous (390 g kg?1) and isoenergetic (16.2 kJ g?1) diets with varying carbohydrate : lipid (CHO : L) ratios (202.5–1.74), were fed to triplicate groups of 25 fish in indoor recirculation system. Over 8‐week‐growth trial, best weight gain (WG), specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio and protein production value (P < 0.05) were observed in fish‐fed diets with CHO : L ratio of 7.5. Fish fed either the lowest (1.7) or highest (202.5) CHO : L ratio tended to produce lower (P < 0.05) growth and feed conversion efficiencies. The values of viscerosomatic index, hepatosomatic index and intraperitoneal fat ratio increased as dietary CHO : L ratios decreased. There were no significant differences in whole body and liver crude protein among dietary treatments. Whole body and liver lipid increased as CHO : L ratios decreased. Plasma cholesterol and triacylglyceride levels increased linearly as dietary CHO : L ratios decreased. Activities of glucokinase and pyruvate kinase were stimulated by elevated levels of dietary carbohydrate; however, activities of lipase (LPS) and alkaline phosphatase were stimulated by elevated levels of dietary lipid. Based on a second‐order polynomial regression analysis of WG against dietary carbohydrate and lipid levels, 275 g kg?1 of carbohydrate and 59 g kg?1 of lipid, corresponding to a CHO : L ratio of 4.7, in a diet holding 390 g kg?1 of crude protein and 16.3 kJ g?1 of gross energy, proved to be optimal for grass carp. These results indicated that utilization of dietary lipid and carbohydrate was moderate in grass carp, but the fish were a little more capable of utilizing lipid compared with carbohydrate.  相似文献

This study investigated the effect of the replacement of fish oil (FO) with DHA‐Gold (DHA‐G)‐supplemented plant oils (PO) in rainbow trout fed plant‐protein‐based diets. Five diets (450 mg g?1 digestible protein and 150 mg g?1 crude lipid) were fed to rainbow trout (initial weight 37 ± 0.5 g) for 12 weeks in a 15 °C recirculating water system. The lipid inclusion types and levels were FO, PO and PO with DHA‐G supplemented at 30 mg g?1, 60 mg g?1 or 90 mg g?1 of the diet replacement for corn oil. Fish fed 90 mg g?1 DHA‐G were significantly larger and consumed more feed than fish‐fed PO or FO (218 g and 2.6% bwd?1 versus 181 g and 2.4% and 190 g and 2.3%, respectively). Feed conversion ratio was significantly increased in fish fed 90 mg g?1 DHA‐G (0.99) as compared to fish‐fed FO (0.90) and 30 mg g?1 DHA‐G (0.91). Panellists found trout fillets from fish fed the 90 mg g?1 DHA‐G diet to have significantly fishier aroma and flavour than fish fed the FO diet. Fatty acid analysis demonstrated that 60 mg g?1 or 90 mg g?1 DHA‐G supplementation increased PO fed fish fillet DHA to fatty acid levels equivalent or higher than those fish fed a FO diet.  相似文献

An 11‐week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary protein and/or energy levels on growth, feed efficiency and proximate composition of juvenile (average weight: 21.5 g) common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) fed various diets based on constant daily protein input. Five experimental diets were prepared. One group of diets (diets 1, 2 and 3) contained three crude protein (P) levels (35%, 40% and 45%) with a constant gross energy (GE) of 3.8 kcal g?1 diet. The second group of diets (diets 4 and 5) were formulated to contain a GE of 4.3 or 4.9 kcal g?1 diet and 40% or 45% protein levels, respectively, where GE/P was constant at 10.8 kcal g?1 protein. Fish receiving diet 1 served as the control; they were hand‐fed to visual satiety. Feed allowance for diets 2 and 4 was 87.5% of the control. Feed allowance for fish receiving diets 3 and 5 was 77.8% of the control. Thus, all tanks received the same daily protein input. When gross energy in the diets was constant, 3.8 kcal g?1 diet, weight gain of fish fed diet 2 at 87.5% satiation was significantly higher than that of fish fed diet 3 at 77.8% of satiation. When the GE/P in the diets was constant, 10.8 kcal g?1 protein, weight gain of fish fed diet 1 was significantly higher than that of fish fed diet 5 at 77.8% satiation. The feed efficiency ratio (FER) for diets 2–5 was significantly higher than for diet 1 at constant GE and GE/P, and this improved linearly as dietary protein levels increased. The protein efficiency ratio (PER) for diet 2 was significantly higher than for diet 3 at constant GE. However, PER was not significantly different at constant GE/P. Protein retention of fish fed diet 2 was significantly higher than that of fish fed diet 3 at constant GE. Protein retention of fish linearly decreased at constant GE/P. The energy efficiency ratios (EER) for diets 2 and 3 were significantly higher than for diet 1 at constant GE. Moisture and protein contents of the whole body of fish were not significantly different at constant GE, but they decreased linearly at constant GE/P. The lipid content of fish fed diet 1 was significantly lower than that of fish fed diet 2 at constant GE, and body lipid content linearly increased at constant GE/P. These results indicate that growth and feed efficiency for common carp fed a 40% protein diet with 3.8 kcal g?1 diet GE at 87.5% satiation rate was superior to those for the fish fed either a 35% protein diet with 3.8 kcal g?1 diet GE at 100% satiation rate or a 45% protein diet with either a 3.8 or 4.9 kcal g?1 diet GE at 77.8% satiation rate.  相似文献

Dietary arginine requirement of fingerling Indian major carp, Cirrhinus mrigala (4.20 ± 0.05 cm; 0.60 ± 0.02 g) was determined by conducting a 8‐week feeding trial with casein–gelatine‐based diets (400 g kg?1 crude protein; 17.90 kJ g?1, gross energy), containing crystalline amino acids with graded levels of l ‐arginine (10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20 and 22.5 g kg?1, dry diet). Fish were randomly stocked, in triplicate groups, in 55‐L indoor polyvinyl flow through circular tanks and fed experimental diets at 5% of their body weight divided into two feedings at 08.00 and 16.00 hours. Live weight gain (321%) and feed conversion ratio (FCR 1.40) were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in fish fed diet containing 17.5 g kg?1dietary arginine compared with other diets. Second‐degree polynomial regression analysis of live weight gain, FCR and protein efficiency ratio data indicated requirements for dietary arginine at 18.7, 18.4 and 18.3 g kg?1 of the dry diet, respectively. Maximum carcass protein, and minimum moisture and fat contents were noticed at the requirement level. Carcass ash content remained insignificantly different among the treatments except at 17.5 g kg?1 dietary arginine showing significantly higher ash content. Based on the above results, it is recommended that the diet for fingerling C. mrigala should contain arginine at 18.4 g kg?1, dry diet, corresponding to 46 g kg?1 dietary protein for optimum growth and efficient feed utilization.  相似文献

A 12-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of varying levels of dietary arginine on growth, feed conversion, protein productive value and carcass composition of fingerling Heteropneustes fossilis (10.11?±?0.14?cm; 5.87?±?0.07?g). Casein and gelatin-based isonitrogenous (38% crude protein) and isocaloric (14.72 kJ?g?1 digestible energy) amino acid test diets with varying levels of l-arginine (1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00 and 2.25?g 100?g?1 of dry diet) were fed to randomly assigned triplicate groups of fish to apparent satiation twice daily at two feeding schedules (08.00 and 17.30?h). Thermal growth coefficient (TGC; 0.86), feed conversion ratio (FCR; 1.97) and protein productive value (PPV; 0.25) were best attained by the group fed diet containing 1.75?g arginine 100?g?1 of dry diet (D4). Carcass protein content also peaked at the above level of dietary arginine whereas carcass lipid showed consistent drop with the increase in dietary arginine level up to 1.75?g 100?g?1 of dry diet. Second-degree polynomial regression analysis at 95% maximum and minimum response of thermal growth coefficient, feed conversion, protein productive value, carcass protein and lipid productive value against varying levels of dietary arginine yielded that dietary arginine in the range of 1.51–1.66?g 100?g?1 of dry diet, corresponding to 3.97–4.37?g 100?g?1 protein is adequate to optimize growth, feed conversion, protein productive value and improve carcass quality in fingerling H. fossilis.  相似文献

A grow‐out experiment was designed to determine the effect of different dietary protein, lipid levels and protein–energy (P:E) ratio on growth performance and feed utilization of the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii post larvae (PL) culture in pond net enclosures (hapa, 3.75 m?3 each) for 12 weeks (84 days). The experimental treatments were assigned in triplicate. Six test diets were formulated to contain three different protein levels (300, 350 and 400 g kg?1 diet) and two lipid levels (100 and 140 g kg?1 diet) in a factorial manner (3 × 2) to provided six different dietary P:E ratio: 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 mg CP kJ?1 g?1). The result showed that the highest significant (P≤0.05) survival rate, growth indices and feed utilization were observed for M. rosenbergii PL fed a diet with a P:E ratio of 17 mg CP kJ?1 g1, whereas, the lowest value was recorded for prawns fed a diet with a P:E ratio of 20 mg CP kJ?1 g?1. Whole body contents of protein and lipid were highest (P≤0.05) when fed diets with 21 and 17 mg CP kJ?1 g?1 respectively. Concerning dietary protein levels, the highest (P≤0.05) values for survival and growth indices were observed for PL fed a diet containing 300 g kg?1 diet protein. The same trend was observed for PL fed a diet with 100 g kg?1 diet lipid level, irrespective of dietary protein levels. A diet containing 300 g kg?1 protein and 100 g kg?1 lipid with a dietary P:E ratio of 17 mg CP kJ g?1 is recommended to stimulate growth performance and nutrients utilization efficiency of M. rosenbergii PL.  相似文献

Juvenile barramundi (～220–280 g start weight) were fed extruded dry‐pelleted diets containing varying amounts of fish meal and meat meal in three experiments (E). E1 and E2 were each 66‐day farm studies utilizing 16 floating cages (400 fish per cage) in an aerated freshwater pond. E3 examined the same diets as fed in E2 but under controlled water temperature (28 ± 0.7 °C) and photoperiod (12:12) laboratory conditions in a 42‐day study involving 24 aquaria (eight fish per aquarium). In all studies, the same 430 g kg?1 crude protein (CP), 15 kJ g?1 digestible energy (DE) control (Ctl) diet (containing 35% Chilean anchovy fish meal) was compared with two high‐inclusion meat meal diets and a proprietary diet. The meat meal diets evaluated in E1 were a high‐ash (260 g kg?1) meat meal that contained 520 g kg?1 CP and a low‐ash (140 g kg?1) meat meal that contained 600 g kg?1 CP when included at either 450 or 400 g kg?1, respectively, in combination with 100 g kg?1 Chilean fish meal in diets that were isonitrogenous and isoenergetic with the Ctl diet. Growth rates and feed conversions were similar (P > 0.05) for all diets. In E2 and E3, the 520 g kg?1 CP meat meal was included at 500 g kg?1 without any marine protein source in diets formulated to provide either 15 or 16.2 kJ g?1 DE and the same CP/DE ratio (29 mg kJ?1) as the Ctl diet. Fish performance ranking of diets was similar in both experiments, with the 16.2 kJ g?1 DE diet supporting better (P < 0.05) growth rates than the Ctl diet and feed conversion ratios equivalent to the Ctl diet but better (P < 0.05) than all other diets.  相似文献

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

Cherax albidus (A) and Cherax destructor (D) male juveniles (mean weight 0.95 ± 0.03 g) were reared for 20 weeks on isoenergetic diets containing 150 g kg?1 protein (A 15, D15) or 300 g kg?1 protein (A30, D30). Mean weight, percentage weight gain, and specific growth rate (%) were substantially higher for both species on the 300 g kg?1 protein diet. Mean percentage weight gain ranged from 2.39% day?1 (D15) to 17.59% day?1 (A30). A maximum weight of 33.81 g was attained by C. albidus on the higher protein diet. The most effective utilization of food was observed in C. albidus when fed the higher protein diet (food conversion ratio, 0.79; protein efficiency ratio, 4.21; apparent net protein utilization, 44.64%). Carcass composition was influenced by feed type. The higher protein diet resulted in an increase in carcass protein and ash and a decrease in carcass lipid and energy relative to the low-protein diet (150 g kg?1 protein diet –C. albidus: 37.15% protein, 15.00% lipid, 25.20% ash, 15.55kJ g?1 energy; C. destructor: 38.10% protein, 15.43% lipid, 25.70% ash, 15.65kJ g?1 energy; 300 g kg?1 protein diet –C. albidus: 46.10% protein, 8.71% lipid, 27.36% ash, 14.94kJ g?1 energy; C. destructor: 42.99% protein, 8.56% lipid, 26.44% ash, 14.71kJ g?1 energy). Carcass moisture and calcium were not affected by feed type. The time spent in the intermoult phase of growth was highly dependent on the premoult weight and varied according to diet and to species. A comparison of animals of similar weight (< 8 g) revealed that elevated dietary protein caused a reduction in the intermoult period by 11 days in C. albidus and 7 days in C. destructor. The moult increment, however, was independent of animal weight, and the highest percentage weight increment occurred for C. albidus fed the 300 g kg?1 protein diet (per cent weight increase; A15, 33.1%; A30, 61.3%; D15, 31.2%; D30, 56.5%). Dietary induced morphological changes were also recorded. Animals of a standard carapace length had significantly larger abdomens (both species) and larger claws (C. albidus) when fed the higher protein diet.  相似文献

Dietary arginine requirement of Heteropneustes fossilis fry (3.0 ± 0.5 cm; 5.1 ± 0.3 g) was determined by feeding casein‐gelatin‐based isonitrogenous (400 g kg?1 crude protein) and isocaloric (17.97 kJ g?1) amino acid test diets containing graded levels of l ‐arginine (15, 17, 19, 21, 23 and 25 g kg?1 dry diet) for 12 weeks. Maximum absolute weight gain (AWG) (44.4), best feed conversion ratio (FCR) (1.22), highest protein retention efficiency (PRE%) (41%), energy retention efficiency (ERE%) (75%), best condition factor, hepatosomatic index and viscerosomatic index were noted at 21 g kg?1 arginine of the dry diet. Maximum body protein (189.8 g kg?1) was also obtained in fish fed above diet. Highest haematocrit value (35%), Hb concentration (9.54 g dL?1), RBC count (3.44 × 109 mL?1) and lowest Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (1.93 mm h?1) were obtained at the above level of arginine in the diet. AWG, FCR, PRE% and ERE% data were analysed using broken‐line and an exponential fit to obtain more precise dietary arginine requirement. On the basis of broken‐line and exponential analyses of AWG, FCR, PRE and ERE data, inclusion of dietary arginine in the range of 20.4–22.6 g kg?1 dry diet, corresponding to 51–56.5 g kg?1 dietary protein, is recommended for formulating arginine‐balanced feeds for rearing H. fossilis fry.  相似文献
