Background: Sesbania aculeata leaf are rich in nutrients which makes it a potential ingredient fish feed preparation. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) process of enhanced nutrient content and reduced antinutritional factors. This experiment was conducted to optimize inclusion raw fermented S. meal (RSLM FSLM) the diet Labeo rohita at fingerling stage different level. Methods: Nine isonitrogenous ...

The proximate, phytochemicals, minerals, and anti-nutritional content of Ficus thonningii seed obtained from Nasarawa, Nasarawa State, Nigeria were investigated. proximate analysis revealed that the is abundant in ash (8.36 ± 0.77 %), protein (27.52 0.17 %) carbohydrate (40.02%) but contains low moisture (8.76 0.06 fibre (2.81 0.09 %). minerals showed very high quantities Ca (2067.50mg/100g), P...
