this study investigated the inhibitory effects of bacillus licheniformis on g1 and g2 aflatoxins in culture media and kilka fish meal. two concentrations of aflatoxins (8 and 12 ppb for g1 and g2) and (2 and 4 ml from aflatoxins standard per 50g of fish meal) were used in culture media and kilka fish meal respectively. the doses of bacillus were 3 and 4% for this experiment. changes of aflatoxi...

Partial or total replacement of fish meal by a mixture of plant protein (PP) sources (corn gluten, wheat gluten, extruded peas, rapeseed meal and sweet white lupin) balanced with indispensable amino acids was examined in juvenile gilthead sea bream over the course of a 6-month growth trial. A diet with fish meal (FM) as the sole protein source was compared to diets with 50%, 75% and 100% of rep...

The main objective of this study was to evaluate alternate vegetable proteins as a replacement for fish meal in diets of Labeo rohita and Ctenopharyngodon idella and use the findings to formulate a cost effective diet for freshwater fish species. Fish of an average weight of (L. rohita 1.91±0.05; C. idella 19.57±0.09 g) was stocked in four earthen fish ponds. The feed was prepared from five dif...

Following a meal, series of physiological changes occurs in fish as they digest, absorb and assimilate ingested nutrients. This study aims to assess post-prandial free amino acid (FAA) activity gilthead sea bream consuming partial marine protein (fishmeal) replacement. Sea were fed diets where 16 27% the fishmeal was replaced by plant protein. The essential (EAA) composition white muscle, liver...

Two feeding trials were conducted to evaluate the influence of dietary curcumin level on fish meal replacement with poultry by-product (PBM) in a largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) diet. In trial I, reference diet (R) contained 400 g/kg meal, and PBM replaced 60 80% (P16 P8). II, containing 80 (P8) served as control (C), was added at 5000 10000 mg/kg (C5 C10), respectively.
