“…The experimental diet that contains 100% FALBM (T5) level of inclusion performed better than any other diets in the experiment. The reason could be the effect of characteristics aroma of FALBM in the diet T5 which serves as food condiment (Babalola et al, 2016) and add flavor for better food intake, digestibility and the enhanced nutrient bioavailability in the fish as mentioned by Odunfa, (1986). No significant differences (p>0.05) were observed in all the experimental diets probably due to the fact that both test diets are from plant protein source that lacks essential amino acids.…”

The study was conducted to evaluate the performance characteristics of Tilapia zilli fingerlings fed with locust bean meal as a replacement for soya bean meal in the diet. Two hundred and ten (210) heterogeneous sexes of Tilapia zilli fingerlings with mean weight of 15.24±0.01g were reared for 84 days in five rectangular glass tanks measuring 0.9 m x 0.45 m x 0.45 m and partitioned into three replicates with 14 fingerlings in each replicate. Five experimental diets were formulated at 0% (soya bean meal only), 25%, 50%, 75% and 100 % locust bean meal inclusion levels at T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 respectively. Results showed that there were no significant differences (p>0.05) among the treatments as compared to mean weight gained, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, specific growth rate, protein efficiency, mortality/survival rate. Fish fed 100% locust bean meal showed the best growth performance in body weight gain, food conversion ratio and specific growth rate (SGR) but with poor condition factor and high mortality rate (54.76%). The study indicated that fermented African locust bean meal could be included in the diets of Tilapia zilli at 50% inclusion level from the view point of low mortality rate and final condition factor over other treatments. African locust bean meal could also be recommended for food security management purposes in replacing soya bean meal in order to reduce conflict that could emanates from the wide range of usage for other dietary purposes.

Background: The study focused on the impact of Ulva fasciata extract (UFE) supplementation in the diets of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on blood and biochemical markers, immune and oxidative responses, and the expression of related genes, with a specific interest in their condition following exposure to Aeromonas hydrophila. Methods: Four different levels of UFE were tested in the diets: 0% (0 mg kg−1) for the control group (U0), and incremental additions of 0.05% (50 mg kg−1), 0.1% (100 mg kg−1), and 0.15% (150 mg kg−1) for the experimental groups U50, U100, and U150 respectively. Groups of 45 fish weighing 3.126 ± 0.120 g were fed these diets over 90 days. Results: The study found that groups treated with UFE showed statistically significant enhancements (p < 0.05) compared to the control group. These improvements included increased red and white blood cell counts, higher haemoglobin concentrations, greater packed cell volume, and elevated enzyme activities—specifically, superoxide dismutase, catalase, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase. Additionally, lysozyme and phagocytic activities were notably higher, especially in the U100 group after exposure. Before exposure to Aeromonas hydrophila, all levels of UFE supplementation led to increased expression of TNF‐α and COXII genes and decreased NFκ‐B expression. After the challenge, UFE intake resulted in varied expression levels of immune and antioxidant genes (TNF‐α, NFκ‐B, SOD, and COXII) in the liver, with the most effective responses observed in the U50, U100, and U150 groups. Conclusions: The findings underscore the potential of dietary UFE as a natural antioxidant and immune booster for Nile tilapia.
