“…However, some cultured aquatic species can tolerate relatively high dietary levels of CSM (Li and Robinson 2006). Numerous studies have been conducted to determine the level of CSM that can be incorporated in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) diets without affecting their growth performance (Dorsa et al 1982;Robinson 1991;Robinson and Li 1994). Results have shown that the amount of CSM that can be included in catfish diets depends mainly on the levels of free gossypol and available lysine.…”

In this study, the effects of less-expensive protein sources replaced with soybean meal on growth performance, nutrient utilization and body composition of juvenile grass carp were investigated. For this purpose, a control diet containing 42% soybean meal was prepared. Cotton seed meal (CSM), sunflower meal (SFM) and corn meal (CM) were added to the experimental diets by replacing 100% of the soybean meal protein used in the control diet. All diets were iso-nitrogenous (40% crude protein) and iso-caloric (19.5 MJ kg -1 gross energy). Each treatment had three replicates, and 20 juvenile grass carps (3.5 ± 0.1 g, initial weight) were located in per replicate. The fish were fed to satiety three times in a day during 3 months at 26°C of water temperature in glass aquarium (45 l). The results of the study showed that the weight gain (308.6-448.6%), specific growth rate (1.56-1.89%/day), feed conversion rate (1.2-1.9), protein efficiency ratio (1.32-2.08), and apparent digestibility coefficients of protein (80.5-89%) or sum of amino acids (80.5-88.9%) were not significantly affected by the experimental diets, except diet CM. All of these values obtained for the diet CM were significantly lower than those of fish fed on the control, CSM and SFM diets. However, there were no significant differences between the lipid digestibility of the diets, and crude protein, lipid, and gross energy contents in the whole body of fish in experiments. In conclusion, CSM and SFM diets were highly utilized by juvenile grass carp, but not CM diet. These results combined with the remarkable acceptability of diets containing high levels of plant protein ingredients with identical growth performances of juvenile grass carp show clearly that dietary soybean meal level can be considerably reduced without any adverse consequence in terms of somatic growth and nitrogen utilization.

“…Growth depression occurred in channel catfish fed diets containing more than 900 mg free gossypol/kg diet (Dorsa et al, 1982), whereas a diet containing as low as 290 mg free gossypol/kg diet reduced the growth of rainbow trout (Herman, 1970). Iron as ferrous sulfate, has been successfully used to counteract the toxicity of free gossypol in diets of monogastric, terrestrial animals.…”

ABSTRACThe present experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of α-tocopherol as an antioxidant for avoiding the side effects of incorporation of cottonseed meal (CSM) in the diet of the Nile tilapia as a replacer of fish meal (FM). Two diets were prepared; the first one contained fish meal and was considered as a control, in the second diet, FM was completely replaced by CSM. The second diet was divided into ten parts, the first one is a control and the other 9 diets were enriched with increased levels of vitamin E (1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 times of gossypol in CSM). Each diet was offered in three aquaria (3 replicates for each diet) and each aquarium was stocked with 25 fish (2.0-2.1g). Results are summarized in the following: -The highest average body weight (9.91 g) was recorded for the control group fed on the basal diet (contained FM) and the lowest BW (5.66 g) was obtained for fish fed the diet D2 in which FM was completely replaced by CSM without vitamin E. Incorporation of vitamin E in the experimental diet significantly improved the BW. Similar trend was observed for the other growth performance parameters body length (BL), weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR). -The best feed conversion ratio (FCR) was recorded for fish group fed on the diets D1 and D3 which significantly differed from values recorded for the other treatments. The worst FCR was recorded in fish group fed on the diet D2 in which FM was completely replaced by CSM without addition of vitamin E. Incorporation of vitamin E in the experimental diets improved FCR specially fish group fed on the diet D3. -Protein content of the whole fish body ranged between 41.33 to 50.97% and the differences were significant. Fat content of fish fed the diet D2 significantly higher than those obtained for fish fed the other groups. Compared to the two control diets D1 and D2 all vitamin levels in the experimental diets increased ash content of the fish whole body and the graded levels of vitamin E in the diets significantly altered the ash content of tilapia fish. -The highest values for hematocrite (Ht) and haemoglobin (Hb) were obtained for fish fed on the control diet (D1). Incorporation of vitamin E in the experimental diets at increasing levels significantly affected Hb and Ht. Compared to the control group (Diet1) aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels significantly increased fish groups fed on the other experimental diets.

“…They have reported that the acceptable level of cotton seed meal inclusion in the ration is not higher than the maximum of 10% and more than 55% substitution of soybean meal by cotton seed meal could result in reduced live weight gain. Dorsa et al (1982) indicated that more than 17.4% of cotton seed meal in the ration inhibited the growth. Similarly, Hepher (1989) has reported that cotton seed meal has a lower nutritional value than soybean meal, which is also supported by the current study.…”

In this study, a total of 720 rainbow trout (Oncorhyncus mykiss) having 50.08±0.19 g of average initial weight were used to compare of usage of the soybean meal, sunflower meal, canola meal and cottonseed meal as the best plant protein source. Four different feeds which contain soybean meal (SBM), canola meal (CM), sunflower meal (SFM) and cotton seed meal were used, respectively. Four trial groups were tested in triplicate during 12 weeks. Experimental diets were prepared as isonitrogenous (42% CP) and isocaloric (13.9 MJ DE/kg feed). At the end of the study, it was observed that there was no significantly difference among the groups for average feed consumption, condition factor and survival rate, however, average live weight, live weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and specific growth rate (SGR) were found statistically significant (P<0.05). Moreover, the difference in the composition of carcass and total body between the groups were found statistically significant (P<0.05). Consequently, it is concluded that soybean meal, canola meal and sunflower meal can be used as a part of fish meal, however cottonseed meal can be used as only smolt or older trout feeds if it is cheap and has good quality.
