Effects of replacing fish by-product meal with poultry by-product meal on growth performance of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus, Burchell 1822) in Recirculation Aquaculture System (RAS)
Author(s): Elsadig Arbab Hagar and Ahmed Mohammed Musa
Abstract: The study was conducted in recirculation aquaculture system in 20 July 2017. RAS is the moderate system in aquaculture technology. The experiment designed by five treatments with three replicates, 75
Clarias gariepinus (10.05gm) in 150 L/tank. Five experimental diets were formulated (37.36 % C.P.) depended on replacements of fish by-product meal with poultry by-product meal as T
1 (0.0) %, T
2 (25%), T
3 (50%), T
4 (75%) and T
5 (100%). Results showed fish fed diet T
1 attained highest weight (371.18± 7.30), weight gain (361.11± 7.21) and RGR (97.28± 0.03%). Next in performance was diet T
5; T
3 and T
2 respectively. While the lowest growth were attained by fish fed T
4 (
p<0.05). The best FCR was in T
1 (
p<0.05), while diets T
4 showed the poorest performance. The survival rate showed no significant different (
p>0.05). Body composition resulted highly significant differences (
p<0.05). Water quality resulted no significant (
p>0.05) between T
1 and T
5. It is concluded that complete replacement of fish by-product meal with poultry by-product meal in diets of
Clarias gariepinus it's affectless.
