Use of Brewer’s Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as Growth Promoter in Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man) Post Larvae
نویسندگان
چکیده
A feeding trial was conducted for 75 days to study the effects of live brewer’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on growth and body composition in post larvae of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man). Five diets were formulated containing optimum protein level of 35.24±0.04. These experimental feeds were supplemented with 0.0% (control diet), 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5% and 1.0% live cells of S. cerevisiae. Weight gain, specific growth rate and protein efficiency ratio tended to increase in the postlarvae fed with either of the live yeast supplemented diets. The significant higher growth (P<0.05) performance, tissue protein, ether extract, improved specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR) was obtained in post larvae fed 0.5% of S. cerevisiae supplemented diets, suggesting that brewers yeast is an appropriate growth promoting feed additives in M.rosenbergii post larval feed.

Effects of stocking density on growth performance and survival of three male morphotypes in all-male culture of Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man)
A study was conducted to appraise the effect of different stocking densities on three male morphotypes named blue claw (BC), orange claw (OC) and small male (SM) at harvest in all-male culture and to assess the growth performance of BC, OC and SM in each isolated culture. Trials involving three stocking densities of all-male prawn viz., 20, 30 and 40 juvenile m-2 were carried out in replicate...
