Growth and metabolic responses in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) subjected to varied starch and protein levels of diets

In the present study, six diets were formulated to contain 24% or 36% protein, and 0, 20%, or 40% starch. The Nile tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus) were fed with the designed diets for 56 days. An overall increasing tendency of percent weight gain, feed efficiency, protein efficiency rate (PER), hep...
