“…According to Agbebi, Otubusin, and Ogunleye (2009), much can be achieved by intensifying research on blood meal inclusion in fish feed for better balanced diets.To develop a feed for sustainable fish production, the evaluation of proximate, amino acid composition, digestibility and performance efficiency as well as cost implications and conditions of application is necessary (Watanabe, 2002). According to Jobling (2001), Bunda, Tumbokon, and Serrano Jr. (2015), Kirimi, Musalia, and Munguti (2016), chemical analysis of feeds and feedstuffs provides information on their major nutrient, gross energy and amino acid composition. Although BM was found to be a good substitute of FM in terms of crude protein requirement and amino acid profile (Kirimi et al, 2016), there is need to conduct a feeding trial to determine the performance of animals (Salim, Aziz, Sultan, & Mustafa, 2004).…”
