A 56-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing dietary fish meal (FM) with a complementary mixture of plant protein (PP) consisting of soybean meal (SBM), corn gluten meal (CGM) and cottonseed meal (CSM) on hepatic lipid metabolism and hepatocyte apoptosis in juvenile...

A feeding trial was designed to examine the potential of yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor, as a locally available renewable protein source in juvenile mandarin fish feed. Triplicate groups of fish (Initial mean body weight±S E.; 20.8±0.05 g) were assigned to each of four isonitrogenous (50%) and...

A growth trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary plant-protein replacement by corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), and of exogenous carbohydrases supplement (Natugrain®TS, BASF) in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) juveniles. For that purpose, a basal diet was formulated ...

High protein distiller's dried grains (HP-DDG) are co-products of ethanol production that uses prefractionation technology. An 8-week growth trial was conducted to investigate the effect of partial replacement of soybean meal (SBM) by three levels of HP-DDG (30%, 40% and 50%) on growth performance, ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of plant-based diets supplemented with various levels of enzyme-treated soybean meal (ESBM) and squid products on the growth, proximate composition, serum biochemistry, and liver and intestinal histological alterations in pompano (Trachinotus...

A total of 630 juvenile Chinese sucker, with an average initial weight of 1.72±0.05 g, were fed seven diets for 56 days to study the effect of dietary methionine levels on growth, feed utilization, body composition and haematological parameters on juvenile Chinese sucker. Diet 1 using fish meal as...

The use of the yeasts Candida utilis, Kluyveromyces marxianus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae as protein sources in diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) pre-smolts was investigated. An 89 day study was conducted using triplicate groups of Atlantic salmon with 28 g initial weight kept in fresh...

This study was carried out to understand the possible effects of supplemental dietary l-carnitine on the growth, body composition, blood traits and carnitine status in silver perch. A 2×2×2 factorial design was utilized to formulate the experimental diets, which contained plant protein sources to...

Jatropha seed cake (JSC) is an excellent source of protein but does contain some antinutritional factors (ANF) that can act as toxins and thus negatively affect the growth and health status of fish. While this can limit the use of JSC, detoxified Jatropha protein isolate (DJPI) may be a better...

A two month feeding trial was conducted in silvery-black porgy (Sparidentex hasta) juveniles (initial mean body weight, 16.7 g) to determine the amount of soy products (SP) that could replace fishmeal (FM) in formulated diets without reducing growth performance. Six isoproteic (ca. 50%) and...
