Growth and Nutritional effects of substituting fish meal With Bambara Nut (Voandzeia subterranean) Waste Meal In Diets Of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) Fingerlings
ABSTRACT
A one month study was carried out to determine
the growth and nutritional effect of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings fed diet in
which Fish meal was replaced with Bambara nut (Voandzeia subterranean). Fish
meal (FM) was substituted with Bambara nut waste meal (BNWM) at the following
inclusion levels, (FM:BNWM) per feed were; Fl, 70:10, F2, 50:30, F3, 30:50, F4,
10:70. The fish were assigned to the different treatments replicates per
treatment containing 12 fishes per replicates. The fish were fed with two grams
of feed, three times a day and at the end ofthe day, the siphoned feed and the
remaining feed been subtracted from the two grams to know the amount of feed
fed to the fish. The fish were fed three times a day to satiation for a period
of 30 days and sampling was carried out every two weeks to determine the
specific growth rate, percentage survival, feed conversion ratio, protein
efficiency ratio and the mean weight gain. After the experiment, among the
treatments it was observed that treatment four had the highest mean weight gain
followed by treatment two and followed by treatments one and three?
respectively. Treatment two was highest in specific growth rate followed by
treatment four and one and followed by treatment three. Treatment two had the
best FCR followed by treatment four and then by treatment one and lastly by
treatment three. Protein efficiency ratio was best in treatment two, followed
by treatment four and then by treatment one and lastly by treatment three.
Treatment four had the best survival rate followed by treatment one and then
followed by treatments two and three. There was significant difference among
treatments one and two which the protein efficiency ratio was significantly
different from the other treatments and treatment four whose survival rate was
also significantly different from the other treatments at (p<0.5).
