An 8-week growth trial was conducted to investigate the effects of non-genetically modified (nGM) soybean (Youchun 06-1) and genetically modified (GM) soybean (Roundup Ready®) with and without a heat treatment on the growth and health of three Cyprinidae species with different feeding habits (grass ...

Wild pea (Pisum elatius) seed was examined as a dietary protein source for mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio) fingerlings in an 80-day laboratory growth trial. Raw or heat-treated Pisum elatius seed was included in fishmeal and soybean meal based diets at levels of 10%, 20%, 30%, or 40% and growth...

A 6-week growth trial was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with maggot meal (MGM) and soybean meal (SBM) on the growth performance and antioxidant responses of gibel carp (GC) and darkbarbel catfish (DC). The basal diet was formulated to contain 114 g kg^-1 fish meal...

L-Type amino acid transporter 2 (LAT2), a key subunit in the y⁺L system, plays an important role in amino acid transportation in the intestine. In this study, we isolated cDNA of LAT2 from crucian carp and characterized its transcript levels in response to diets of different protein levels, protein ...

In this study, the effects of less-expensive protein sources replaced with soybean meal on growth performance, nutrient utilization and body composition of juvenile grass carp were investigated. For this purpose, a control diet containing 42% soybean meal was prepared. Cotton seed meal (CSM),...

Jatropha curcas kernel meal is rich in protein; however, it is toxic. Two durations of detoxification process were investigated: 30 and 60 min; designated as J_a and J_b, respectively. Common carp fingerlings (252 fish; 3.2±0.07 g) were fed diets: control containing fishmeal (FM); S₅₀, J_a50 and J_b50: ...
