Replacement of Fishmeal Using Poultry Offal Meal in Practical Feeds for Fry of the African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus)

Abstract: A 70-day feeding trial was conducted to test the effect of partial replacement of fishmeal by poultry offal in the diet for fry of the African catfish, Clarias gariepinus. Four isonitrogenous rations containing replacement of 0 (control), 30%, 60%, or 90% fishmeal by poultry offal were fed to three replicate groups of C. gariepinus fingerlings (0.74 g). Growth performance and nutrient utilization of the fish were evaluated based on weight gain, protein intake, protein efficiency ratio, specific growth ratio, g… Show more

“…Inferior growth performance (weight gain and SGR) of abalone fed the CBM100 diet compared to abalone fed the CBM0 diet in the present study might indicate that an excessive amount of FM substitution with CBM in abalone feed may bring about reduced growth performance. Analogous results were also observed in other studies (Falaye et al, 2011; Kim et al, 2021; Wu, Zhang, et al, 2022) showing that high substitution level of FM with CBM in diets led to the reduced growth performance of fish. This could attribute to the fact that relatively low essential AA (lysine and methionine) content in CBM compared to FM for the growth of aquatic animals could not satisfy dietary needs for their normal growth (Lasekan et al, 2013; Lloyd, 2016; Seong et al, 2015).…”

“…Results from other trials on PM in diets for African catfish are mostly in line with the results of the present study. Authors testing up to 100% FM replacement with PM at an absolute level of PM inclusion of 6-47% (versus 56.4% in this study) generally recorded growth reduction and feed conversion impairment at the highest replacement levels in comparison to their control diets [75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82] and recommend FM replacement levels of 65% (30.6% PM inclusion) [82], 56% [80], 40% (17% PM inclusion) [78] and 30% (6.3% PM inclusion) [79]. However, [77] did not find significant differences in growth performance and feed conversion at 75-100% FM replacement (26-34.5% PM inclusion) compared to the FM control diet.…”
