Abstract: For 45 days we tested the effect of three treatments (T8, T9 and T11) on the growth of fingerlings with an initial mean weight of 5.91 ± 0.51g in a breeding basin. The treatments T8 and T9 are based on conventional and unconventional local by-products. The main ingredients used are fish meal, soybean meal, yellow corn and manure worms (
Eisenia foetida) in the same proportions. The treatment T11 is the control (Coppens). The experiment was carried out in triplicates for each treatment. The physico-chemical parameters of the water and the recorded growth performance parameters were subjected to the Analysis of Variance with a criterion (Anova1). The differences were significant at level of 5%. Statistical processing was carried out using software Statview 5.1. The main results recorded in this study indicate that the growth performance of fish was not influenced (
p>0.05) by the physico-chemical parameters of the water in the different treatments. The growth rate (TCS) and conversion rate (TC) ranges obtained show no significant difference (
p>0.05) for fish subjected to the treatments T9 and T11. On the other hand, there is a significant difference (
P<0.05) between these two treatments (T9 and T11) and the treatment T8 for these same parameters (TCS and TC). The local treatment T9 is therefore as effective as Coppens.
