Abstract:

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of different levels of fermented daphnia (Daphnia magna) as a partial protein source of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) alevins’ diet and its effect on growth; nutrition and feed efficiency for 8 weeks. Rainbow trout alevins with an initial body weight of 0.583 ± 0.197g (Mean ± SD) after acclimating to study condition were fed in 5 treatments each with 3 replicates based on completely randomized design. Four isonitrogenous experimental diets (52.70% crude protein) including two diets contained fermented daphnia powder and two others contained raw daphnia powder with replacement levels of 20 and 30% were obtained. A diet without daphnia powder was used as control. Five Bacillus strains including: B. subtilis, B. licheniformis, B. polymyxa, B. circulans and B. laterosporus were used for fermenting of daphnia powder. The results showed the significant effect of fermented daphnia powder on growth and feed efficiency in comparison with diet contained raw daphnia powder with the same levels (P<0.05). Also the treatments fed with the same levels of fermented daphnia had the lowest feed conversion ratio than the other treatments and the control (P<0.05). The use of Bacillus strains which are able to secret extracellular enzymes and spread with producing spores in addition of fermenting of daphnia powder would be able to inoculate into the alevin gut. This issue while it’s improving nutrients of daphnia powder would increase micro flora of alevins and finally increase the growth.

Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

Rainbow trout are classified as Oncorhynchus mykiss, and as such belong to the same genus as Pacific salmon, and to the family Salmonidae, which includes Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), various trout (Salvelinus sp.), Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus), Arctic grayling (Thymallus arcticus) and whitefish (Coregonus sp.). Rainbow trout are native to areas around the North Pacific Ocean, from souther...

Effects of starvation and re-feeding on growth performance and blood plasma of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

The mechanism of compensatory growth in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was studied in a completely randomized design with four experimental treatments and a control group (no food deprivation) with three replicates. Animals in treatments 1 to 4 were fed with rates of 0, 25, 50 and 75% saturation, respectively for two weeks. Then, the treatments were fed twice a day until saturation level f...

Effects of dietary Bacillus subtilis on growth performance and immune responses, in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792)

Four hundred and eighty five rainbow trout (76 ± 6.44 g mean weight) were acclimated to laboratory conditions and then randomly divided into four groups of tanks in triplicate. The first group (Group 1) was fed on a commercial diet (control) without Bacillus subtilis supplementation. The second, third and fourth groups (Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4, respectively) were given a diet supplemented ...

Studies on Bacillus subtilis, as Potential Probiotics, on the Hematological and Biochemical Parameters of Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum)

The probiotic activity of Bacillus subtilis was evaluated by its effect on the hematological and biochemical factors of rainbow trout. The experience was carried out in 2 groups (Control and Treatment) and 3 replicates. In Control group, probiotic was not applied in diet but in Treatment group, B. subtilis was administered in feed at a concentration of 10 cells/g. In the day of thirty, 5 blood ...

The effect of feeding strategies on growth performance, hematological indices, and biochemical parameters in male rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) broodstocks

This investigation was carried out to determine the effect of feeding strategies on growth performance, biochemical parameters, and hematological indices in male rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) broodstocks. For this purpose, 45 broodstocks with 475.55 ± 54.24 g (mean ± S.D) were divided into three treatments and fed at satiation, restricted feeding (50% of satiation limit), and starvation...
