Evaluation of animal and plant by-products as constituents in diets for seabream Sparus aurata LNengas, Ioannis January 1991 (has links)
The principle aim of the study was to evaluate the nutritional value of animal and plant by-products, with the objective of improving the cost effectiveness of diets for culturing seabream (Sparus aurata). The programme of work was initially directed towards applying the current methodology used in fish nutrition research to establish reliable digestibility coefficients for various feed ingredients. A selection of animal and plant materials were tested for digestibility within a reference basal diet designed for seabream. Ingredients for special consideration included poultry by-product meal, feather meal, meat and bone meal, solvent extracted and full fat soyabean meal as well as various other plant derived mater1als. Comparative values for protein, energy and lipid digestibility coefficients were assessed. On the basis of these measurements, experiments were undertaken to evaluate the optimum inclusion levels of promising protein and energy sources as a replacement for the fishmeal component in diets for seabream. Emphasis was made on recent advances in feed processing technology. Raw materials were evaluated in terms of proximate analysis, amino acid profiles and the degree of heat treatment effects on protein quality and availability. Several indices relating to these included lysine availabil1ty, cresol red values and trypsin inhibitor levels for soya products. Growth performance and feed utilization trials were conducted mainly on juvenile fish in recirculation systems under controlled conditions of temperature and salinity. Nutritional parameters such as specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency ~FE) and protein utilization parameters were determined 1n each successive trial. The results were favourable with respect to the partial inclusion of animal products in seabream diets. Poultry byproduct meals proved encouraging even at high inclusion levels. The growth performance of fish fed soyabean meal and full fat soya were initially favourable and merited further consideration. These preliminary trials led to a series of practical diet formulations to contain multi-in9redient components, which confirmed previous findings. Var1able results, however, were reported for full fat soyabean meal in this experiment. Finally, the programme of research was presented in the context of the rapidly expanding mariculture industries of southern Europe w1th a particular relevance to Greece.

The water-soluble vitamin nutrition of the gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.)Morris, Paul Christopher January 1994 (has links)
Given the paucity of information with regards the micronutrient requirements of the currently expanding number of cultured marine species, a series of investigations was undertaken to examine the water-soluble vitamin nutrition of the gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.). A preliminary study identified the qualitative requirement of this species for ascorbic acid, the B complex vitamins and choline for the maintenance of health and optimum productivity. Based on the observations of the preliminary experiment, a study was designed which allowed the development of a semi-purified diet and illustrated the qualitative requirement of the gilthead seabream for thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, pyridoxine and pantothenic acid. Using the semi-purified diet, the requirement for niacin and biotin were also established. As one of the vitamins for which the seabream exhibited a strong requirement, pyridoxine was chosen as the focus for an experiment which evaluated the benefit of the incorporation of this vitamin within a practical diet at levels which exceeded the minimum requirement. Thiamin is a vitamin which is known to exhibit a distinct relationship with carbohydrate metabolism, hence this vitamin was chosen as the focus of an investigation of the potential for the modification of vitamin requirements in response to major nutrient supply. Finally, having illustrated the requirement of gilthead seabream growers for ascorbic acid, an experiment was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of a series of vitamin C derivatives as feed supplements for this species. The current series of investigations has not only served to expand the present knowledge of the vitamin nutrition of the target species but has highlighted the potential for novel and applied research which remains within the field of micronutrients.

Dietary zinc requirement of the juvenile grouper (Epinephelus malabaricus)Hu, Li-Chi 28 June 2000 (has links)
The purpose of the present study was to quantify the optimal zinc requirements of juvenile grouper (Epinephelus malabaricus). Basal diet contained 52 % crude protein from derived egg white and mackerel¡]Scomberomorus commerson¡^muscle. This semipurified basal diet which contained 10.0 mg Zn/kg was supplemented with ZnSO4 at levels of 0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36 or 140 mg Zn/kg, respectively. The test diets were fed to juvenile groupers with an initial weight of about 5.9 g. All treatments were triplicated, each tank had 12 fish. After 18 weeks of rearing, dietary zinc levels have significant effects on the growth of fish. Weight gain and feed efficiency were significantly lower in grouper fed the unsupplemental diet than the supplemental groups. No significant difference among fish groups was found in survival rate, condition factor, muscle composition, ash contents of vertebra and scale, as well as some hematological parameters. Zinc concentrations in serum, muscle, vertebra and scale were affected by the supplemental zinc level. There was no significant difference in nonspecific immunity parameters including phagocytosis of macrophage, alternative complement pathway (ACH50) activity, agglutination titer and lysozyme activity among dietary treatments. The activity of the copper and zinc metalloenzyme superoxide dismutas in red blood cells was also not affected by dietary zinc intake. Broken-line regression analysis of weight-gain, feed efficiency as well as serum-, vertebra- and scale zinc concentrations against dietary zinc intake indicated requirement values of 33.7, 35.6, 32.5, 28.9 and 32.6 mg Zn/kg diet, respectively. Therefore, based on the results of growth performance and tissue zinc concentrations, the dietary zinc requirement of the juvenile groupers was between 28-36 mg Zn/kg diet.

Colina em rações para tilápia do Nilo : desempenho produtivo e respostas hematológicas antes e após o estímulo a frio /Fernandes Junior, Ademir Calvo, 1984- January 2008 (has links)
Orientador: Margarida Maria Barros / Banca: Luiz Edivaldo Pezzato / Banca: Carlo Rossi Del Carratone / Resumo: Essa pesquisa teve por objetivo avaliar o desempenho produtivo da tilápia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) arraçoada com níveis crescentes de colina nas dietas. O período experimental foi de 109 dias. Foram utilizados 192 alevinos com peso médio inicial de 4,0 gramas, distribuídos em 32 tanques-rede de 200 L, numa densidade de seis peixes por tanque rede, sendo os tanques-rede alojados em aquários de 1000 L. O conjunto de aquários era dotado de sistema de filtragem de água por meio de biofiltro e sistema de aquecimento, sendo a temperatura mantida a 25,3 ± 0,2ºC. As rações foram formuladas de modo a apresentar 28,0% de proteína digestível e 3100,0 kcal ED/kg de dieta com mesma concentração de aminoácidos. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado com oito tratamentos e quatro repetições. As rações foram suplementadas com colina (cloreto de colina 60,0%) de modo a apresentarem 100,0; 200,0; 400,0; 600,0; 800,0; 1000,0 e 1200,0 mg de colina por quilograma de ração, além de uma ração isenta de suplementação. Não foram observadas diferenças estatísticas para ganho de peso, taxa de sobrevivência e conversão alimentar aparente, porcentagem de extrato etéreo do filé e concentração de lipídeos no plasma. No entantohouve diferença estatística para o índice hepatossomático e porcentagem de extrato etéreo do fígado, sendo que 800,0 mg de colina/kg de dieta determinou maior ação lipotrófica. O oposto foi observado nos peixes do tratamento isento de suplementação. Concluiu-se que os diferentes níveis de colina não melhoram o desempenho produtivo dos peixes, pois a dieta basal supostamente supriu a exigência do peixe para colina, entretanto, a suplementação favoreceu a melhora no estado do fígado. / Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed diets supplemented with increasing levels of choline.

It was not observed any significant differences in performance, survival and apparent feed conversion, fillet ether extract and plasma lipids concentration among the treatments. However, there was a significant difference in the hepatosomatic index and liver ether extract percentage, showing that 800 mg of choline/kg determined a better lipotrofic action and the opposite was observed in fish fed diet with no choline supplementation. It was concluded that different levels of choline did not improve performance supposedly due to the amount of choline... / Mestre

Previous issue date: 2011-06-29 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Amazonas / Corn has always occupied a prominent position as an energy source in diets for
aquatic organisms. However, there is growing interest in alternative energy
sources for use in fish diets, with the goal of reducing the cost of food. Among
the sources of energy that have potential for use in pet foods, byproducts of
cassava are important. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of replacing
corn flour by cassava (Manihot esculenta) meal in diets for juvenile tambaqui
(Colossoma macropomum). The study was conducted in two stages, following a
completely randomized design with six treatments (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%,
100%), replacing maize meal by cassava meal. In the first stage, 480 juvenile
tambaqui were distributed in 24 circular plastic tanks for the evaluation of
physico-chemical parameters of water, weight gain, feed conversion, body
composition, production cost per kilogram of body weight gain and
haematological parameters. In the second stage, 336 juvenile tambaqui were
distributed in 24 conical tanks for the determination of nutrient digestibility of the
experimental diets. There were no significant differences between treatments in
terms of physico-chemical parameters of water, weight gain, feed conversion,
body composition and hematological parameters of fish. The replacement of
corn flour with cassava meal also reduced the cost per kilogram of tambaqui. It
is concluded that corn flour can be completely replaced by cassava meal in the
diets for juvenile tambaqui, without affecting growth rate / O milho sempre ocupou lugar de destaque como fonte energética em rações
para organismos aquáticos. Entretanto, é crescente o interesse por fontes
alternativas de energia em rações para peixes, com o objetivo de reduzir o
custo com a alimentação. Dentre as fontes de energia com potencial de uso em
rações para animais domésticos, destacam-se os subprodutos da mandioca.
Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da substituição do milho por
farinha de crueira de mandioca (Manihot esculenta) em rações para juvenis de
tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum). O estudo foi conduzido em duas etapas,
seguindo um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado com seis
tratamentos (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% de substituição do milho pela
farinha de crueira) e quatro repetições. Na primeira etapa da pesquisa, 480
juvenis de tambaqui foram distribuídos em 24 caixas plásticas redondas para
avaliação das médias dos parâmetros físico-químicos da água, ganho de peso,
conversão alimentar aparente, composição corporal, custo de produção do
quilograma de peso vivo ganho e dos parâmetros hematológicos. Na segunda
etapa do estudo, 336 juvenis de tambaqui foram distribuídos em 24 tanques
tipo cone para determinação da digestibilidade dos nutrientes das rações
experimentais. Não foram observadas diferenças significativas entre os
tratamentos para os parâmetros físico-químicos da água, ganho de peso,
conversão alimentar aparente, parâmetros hematológicos dos peixes e
coeficiente de digestibilidade aparente dos nutrientes das rações. Houve
diferença significativa para o teor de extrato etéreo no músculo dos peixes
alimentados com ração contendo níveis de substituição de 40 % e 100 %. A
substituição do milho pela farinha de crueira de mandioca também
proporcionou redução no custo de produção do quilograma de tambaqui.
Concluiu-se que o milho pode ser totalmente substituído pela farinha de crueira
de mandioca em rações para juvenis de tambaqui sem comprometimento das
variáveis estudadas
