Effects of oilseed meals on pellet characteristics, faecal matter production, postprandial ammonia and phosphorus excretion rates in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

Effects of oilseed meals on pellet characteristics, faecal matter production, postprandial ammonia and phosphorus excretion rates in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

This study assessed the physical characteristics, faecal, ammonia and phosphorus waste production rates of mixtures of groundnut, cottonseed, copra and soybean meals as a replacement for fishmeal in Nile tilapia diets. Six experimental diets were formulated such that the oilseed mixtures contributed...
