Growth and Production Performance of Monosex Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Fed with Homemade Feed in Earthen Mini Ponds

PRODUCTION AND ECONOMICS OF GIFT STRAIN OF TILAPIA (Oreochromis niloticus) IN SMALL SEASONAL PONDS

The production and economics of GIFT strain of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) reared in nine seasonal small ponds at Bangladesh Agricultural University campus for a period of three months during August to October were evaluated. The experiment was arranged in three treatments (T) each with three replications. The ponds were drained, limed and fertilized with organic and inorganic fertilizers d...

Supplemental effects of mixed ingredients and rice bran on the growth performance, survival and yield of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus reared in fertilized earthen ponds.

Unaffordability of commercial feeds to semi-intensive Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus farmers has led to reliance on supplemental feeding and fertilization for nutrition of their fish without a scientific basis. This study compared the growth, survival, condition factor and yield performance of O. niloticus fed on mixed ingredients (MI) and rice bran alone (RB) diets reared in fertilized ea...

Growth, Feed Utilization and Blood Metabolic Responses to Different Amylose-amylopectin Ratio Fed Diets in Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

A feeding trial was conducted in tilapia to determine the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, digestive enzymes, and postprandial blood metabolites in response to different dietary amylose-amylopectin ratios. Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets containing an equal starch level with different amylose-amylopectin ratios of 0.11 (diet 1), 0.24 (diet 2), 0.47 (diet 3), 0.76 (diet 4) an...

growth performance of nile tilapia (oreochromis niloticus) fed with diets containing different levels of hydrolysable and condensed tannin

this study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of hydrolysable tannin (ht) and condensed tannin (ct) on growth performance and body composition of nile tilapia. hydrolysable tannin and ct were included into diets at four levels (0, 5, 15, and 25 g kg-1 diet). the diet with zero tannin level acted as control and the response of fish fed diets containing tannin was compared to that of the contr...
