“…The specific growth rates (SGR) of 3.54 and 3.52% (Table 1) obtained from the two treatments respectively in this study were within the range of 2.74 -3.57% obtained by (Bichi and Ahmad, [18]) for C. gariepinus but higher than value range 1.25 -1.94% obtained by Ofor and Onuoha, [17]. The daily growth rates of 4.01 and 3.76 g (Table 1) obtained in treatments 1 and 2 respectively were within the range of 2.34 -6.01 g obtained for C. gariepinus by Bichi and Ahmad, [18], Adewolu, et al [2] in their experiment obtained 5.05, 4.47 and 5.40 g SGR for C. gariepinus, H. longifilis and their hybrid respectively which was higher than the SGR (3.42 -3.54%) obtained in this study.…”

The performance of Heterobranchus longifilis reared in earthen ponds fertilized with two organic fertilizers (meadow grasses and chicken droppings) was investigated. The study was carried out in 6 earthen ponds measuring 24.9 square meters each at Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research (NIOMR) fish farm Ijoyi-Badore Lagos. Results obtained showed better food conversion ratio value in treatment 1 (1.28 ± 0. 11) fertilized with meadow grasses and chicken droppings in combination with commercial extruded feed than in treatment 2 (1.72 ± 0.32) fertilized with only chicken droppings in combination with commercial extruded feed. The total weight gain were 665.39 ± 22.05Kg and 623.93 ±40.64kg respectively for treatment 1 and 2 while the daily growth rate was 4.01 ± 0.13g and 3.76 ± 0.24g for treatment 1 and 2 respectively. H. longifilis in treatment 1 performed better than treatment 2 probably due to the efficiency of the organic fertilizers in treatment 1 than treatment 2. Fertilizer used in treatment 1 could be used in fish ponds to reduce cost of pond fish production.

“…Fishmeal free formulations for herbivorous fish such as tilapias have been reported and used in practical diets (Shiau et al 1990), but seldom studied on other omnivorous fish. Previous studies on replacing FM with plant protein sources in C. gariepinus diets focussed mainly on growth performance and feed utilisation (Bichi and Ahmad, 2010;Amisah et al, 2009). The intestines and liver are key organs in digestion and absorption of nutrients from food, therefore, the monitoring of these organs is imperative in nutrition studies (Raskovic et al, 2011).…”

The effects of replacing fishmeal (FM) with kikuyu meal (KM) and moringa meal (MM) in Clarias gariepinus diets were investigated. Nine diets (30% CP: 20 MJ kg -1 ) were formulated by replacing FM with KM and MM at 0% (control), 25, 50, 75 and 100%. Each diet was randomly assigned to triplicate groups of C. gariepinus (30.5±2 g) for 60 days. Significantly higher (P<0.05) growth performance, feed and protein utilisation was observed in C. gariepinus fed KM diets compared to those fed MM. No histological alterations were found in liver of fish fed the control diet. Increased hepatocyte degradation was seen in fish fed higher levels of moringa in the diet. The enterocytes showed a significant increase in the number of goblet cells with increasing levels of MM. Villi height decreased significantly (P<0.05) when MM replaced >75 fishmeal. Higher levels of anti-nutrients in MM may be the cause of the adverse effects in growth, histology and haematological parameters of fish fed moringa based diets. The results of this study indicate that KM can replace up to 25% FM and that adding MM resulted in reduced performance. Higher profit index and lower incidence cost was observed KM diets than in MM diets.

“…The anti-nutritional factors of the processed Mucuna pruriens leaf showed significant reduction. This significant reduction of the anti-nutritional compounds soaked in cold and hot water and this may be as result of efficacy of water leaching out anti-nutrient in the leaves as reported by Bichi and Ahmad (2010). The anti-nutritional compounds of the fermented Mucuna pruriens leaf showed significant reduction.…”

The study was to evaluate the effects of different processing methods on the proximate and anti-nutritional contents of Mucuna pruriens leaf meal. The Mucuna pruriens leaves were collected and processed by Air-dried Mucuna Leaf Meal (AMLM), Soaked Mucuna Leaf Meal in Cold Water (CMLM), Soaked Mucuna Leaf Meal in Hot Water (HMLM) and Fermented Mucuna Leaf Meal (FMLM). Proximate analysis showed that FMLM had the highest value (25.94±0.94%), while the lowest recorded in the CMLM (23.00±0.00%). The analysis of antinutritional factors showed that hydrocyanic acid, oxalate, phytate, saponin, reduced significantly (P<0.05) after processing the Mucuna Leaf Meal.
