The effect of dietary kiwi (Actinidia sp.) fruit peel powder on growth performance, carcass composition and digestibility in Common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Authors

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary Kiwi (Actinidia sp.) peel powder on growth performance, body composition and digestibility of Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) juvenile. Due to this purpose, five diets including control (without Kiwi peel powder), four diets containing 1, 3, 5 and 7 % Kiwi peel powder were prepared. Common carp juvenile with initial weight of 19.53±0.05 g were randomly distributed in each treatment (3 replicates) into 300 L tanks with 250 L water capacity and fed at satiation with experimental diet for 8 weeks. After the end of experiment, growth indices, survival rate, carcass composition and nutrient digestibility were assessed. The results showed no significant differences of growth performance among treatments (P>0.05). Carcass composition, protein and lipid digestibility showed no significant differences among treatments (P>0.05), but the highest amount of dry matter digestibility was observed in 3, 5 and 7 % treatments, and the lowest amount of that was observed in the control (P<0.05). Overall, using Kiwi peel powder in diet didn’t have any negative effect on growth indices, carcass composition and digestibility.

Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio

The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) belongs to the family Cyprinidae. In nature, carp live in the middle or lower reaches of a river with slow currents, or in marshes. Their habitats are usually weedy areas with a muddy bottom. Carp fry feed on zooplankton such as rotifers and copepods, but as they grow up they become benthic feeders, feeding on animals and other organic material. The cyprinids h...

Effect of dietary wood betony, Stachys lavandulifolia extract on growth performance, haematological and biochemical parameters of Common carp, Cyprinus carpio

A 6 week study was conducted to assess the effects of wood betony (WB), Stachys lavandulifolia extract on growth performance, hematological and biochemical parameters of common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Different levels of the WB extract (0, 2, 4 and 8 % weight per weight, W/W, 0WB, 2WB, 4WB and 8WB) in the diet were used. The results showed that final weight and weight gain were significantly imp...
