Abstract:The effects of nanoscale synthetic zeolite powder (NZeP) levels in diet on water quality, growth performance, muscle proximate composition, and some blood biochemical indices of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings were evaluated in a 60‐day experiment. One hundred eighty fish with an average weight of 5.91 ± 0.45 g were distributed in three different groups of control (basal diet without NZeP), NZP0.5% (basal diet + 0.5% NZeP), and NZeP1% (basal diet + 1% NZeP) with triplicate. The zeolite particl… Show more
