Abstract

For Oreochromis niloticus rearing, a feeding test was carried out for 42 days on fingerlings fish with an average initial weight of 4.6 g. Five experimental isoproteic and isoenergetic diets (30.44±1% protein; 19.64±0.23 kJ. g-1) were formulated, including one (D1) control containing fish meal, and meet the essential amino acid requirements of Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings. In triplicate, fish meal was completely replaced by ratios of 3:5, 1:2, 2:5, 1:3 between Moringa oleifera leaves and maggots respectively for feed D2, D3, D4 and D5. At the end, significant differences (P<0.05) were observed on the growth and feed utilization performances between the control diet (D1) and the other (D2 to D5) diets without fish meal. These have been reduced in diets without fish meal. The survival and feed utilization were significantly affected by the ratios between Moringa oleifera leaves and maggot meals in the diets tested with the best results obtained with D2 diet (ratio 3:5). Protein levels in the carcass fed with experimental diets were high (D2 and D5). Maggots and Moringa oleifera leaves mixture can totally replace fish meal in Oreochromis niloticus diets but technological treatments, phytase addition and attractants could improve zootechnical performance.

Effect of Moringa oleifera, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and Their Combination on Growth Performance, Digestive Enzymes, Immunity, and Microbiota in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

“…This indicates that M. oleifera added to feed can save protein costs, but it is necessary to address the problem of poor palatability of M. oleifera in fish. Djissou et al [32]. examined the effect of completely replacing M. oleifera leaves with fish meal on Nile tilapia.…”

Moringa oleifera: Uses of leaves and seeds in the food industry

“…También se demostró este estudio en corderos machos, donde se evaluó el efecto de la suplementación diaria y alternativa de Moringa con harina de soja (MLM) y harina de soja (SBM), donde la concentración de glucosa fue similar entre los tratamientos mencionados, en cuanto a proteínas y urea se obtuvo que los corderos con tratamiento SBM mostraron mayor cantidad de estos compuestos (Jelali & Ben Salem, 2014). Otra experiencia con hojas de Moringa oleifera es como complemento a la harina de pescado experimentando con proporciones (3:5, 1:2, 2:5, 1:3); obteniendo como mejor relación la proporción de 3:5, porque obtuvo mejores resultados para alimentar a alevines (crías recién nacidas de peces) (Djissou et al, 2020). Shahzad et al (2020) destacaron que las hojas de MO tienen efecto notorio como suplementación en el crecimiento y la digestibilidad de nutrientes de peces, se observó una mejora significativa en los índices de crecimiento y la digestibilidad de los nutrientes; además de que disminuye la descarga de nutrientes a través de las heces, reduciendo así la contaminación ecológica.…”
