ABSTRACT:The efficacy of treated Leucaena leucocephala leaf meal as an ingredient in diet of the African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, of mean weight 40.18±0.51g was evaluated over a 90-day growth period. Four experimental diets were formulated at 0% (control), 10%, 20% and 30% inclusion levels of treated Leucaena leaf meal. Leaves were treated by soaking in water for 3 days and sun-drying for another 3 days. A control diet of fish meal with fish meal serving as the only protein source was formulated. All diets were isonitrogenous (30% protein). The 90-day feeding experiment was conducted in concrete tanks, each treatment having three replicates. Fish fed 20% Leucaena leaf meal recorded the best growth performance in body weight gain and Specific

“…Adaparusi and Agbede (2004) have observed the high fiber content in ipil ipil leaves that are affected on digestibility and it may be a reason for low ADG of the fish fed on Feed-B which is incorporated ipil ipil leaves. However, Santiago et al (1988) has observed that 12.5% inclusion of ipil ipil leaves for the diets did not affect the growth, but the inclusion of ipil ipil leaves up to 25% or more adversely affected on the growth of O. niloticus. Accordingly, the inclusion amount of ipil ipil leaves in Feed-B (10-12%), may not have affected the growth of fish.…”

“…The lack of competition may be due to the less palatability of Feed B which contains ipil ipil leaves as a part (10-12%). According to Santiago et al (1988), the less palatability of the diet that incorporated fresh ipil ipil leaves is due to the presence of "mimosine", which is a toxic non-protein amino acid. Hasan et al (1990) also observed the poor growth responses for Rohu (L. rohita) and for Carp (C. carpio) (Hasan et al, 1997) while feeding with the diet containing ipil ipil leaves due to the presence of mimosine too.…”

The objective of this trial was evaluating the growth performance of GIFT Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) with 2 types of aqua-feeds (Feed-A and Feed-B) in cage culture and determine the suitability compared to the commercial fish feed (Feed-C) as control. Nine cages (10 m 3 each) were installed in a reservoir (80 ha) and stocked with fingerlings of GIFT Tilapia (mean weight= 18.7±12.07 g; mean total length 9.7±2.08 cm) at a density of 45 fingerlings m -3. Completely Randomized Design with 3 treatments, in triplicate, was utilized. Rice bran, Poonac and fishmeal (Fm) were used to formulate both aquafeeds. Part of the Fm (10-12%) in Feed-B was replaced by fresh ipil-ipil leaves. The protein percentage (%) in Feed-A and Feed-B was adjusted to 29%, but it ranged from 17.20-23.97 and from 19.6-25.5, respectively. During the experimental period, fish were fed twice daily at 5% of body weight at the beginning and then up to 3.6%, 3% and 2.5% onwards. The mean % survival, Condition Factor and Specific Growth Rate of the fish fed on Feed-A, Feed-B and Feed-C were not significantly different (P>0.05), but the Average Daily Growth was significantly different (P<0.05). Data were analyzed with One-way ANOVA. The total fish production in cages through Feed-A, Feed-B and Feed-C were 128, 77 and 160 kg, respectively. Considering the cost of feed Rs.18/-, 17/-and 160/-and net income received in Rs. 18,645/-, 8140/-, (20,800/-), Feed-A and Feed-B could be considered. Nevertheless, as the ipil ipil leaves were the ingredient and considering the availability of the highest carcass protein content (18.878±2.193), Feed-B is economically feasible.

To understand fue applicability of mixed feeding sched ule in the fingerlings of the Indian major carp---rohu, Labeo rohita, an 80-day feeding experiment was conducted in the laboratory involving alternate feeding of plant and animal protein based diets with low and high levels of proteins, re spectively. Feeding one day with ooaked Leucaena ('suba bul' /'ipil-ipil') leaf meal based diet, followed by three days of animal protein (fish meal) based diet (feeding schedule 1S/3F) resulted in better performance of rohu in terms of live weight gain (%), SGR (%/day) and FCR as compared to those fed continuously with animal protein based diet (schedule F). Schedule 1S/3F also resulted in higher protein deposition in muscle and protein efficiency ratio. The results are expected to open up a new avenue to develop better feeding strategies with a view of reducing feed input cost by incorporating plant ingredients in the diets and by taking advantage of the existing natural variations in daily digestibility of protein.
