Protein Sparing Effects of Lipids in The Practical Diets of Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia)
AM Orire, SOE Sadiku
Abstract
A feeding trial was conducted to establish the protein sparing effects of various lipid sources in Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings (mean weight 8.05 ±0.05g) for 8 weeks. Nine experimental diets and one commercial reference diet was used for the trial. The experimental diets comprised of three
levels of lipid (L) and protein (P) designated as 15P : 25L, 10P : 30L and 5P : 35L ratios. Three lipid sources used were groundnut oil, palm oil and fish oil. The result obtained showed significant differences (P
