Survival and response of Oreochromis niloticus to different feeds
The study determined the survival and the response of Oreochromis niloticus to different feeding compositions. 90 Oreochromis niloticus juveniles were fed different diets in triplicated treatments inside glass tanks. Treatment I comprised locally compounded diet; Treatment II, imported pelletized feed; and Treatment III - processed feathermeal based diet. Results showed that there was no significant differences (P>0.05) in the weight gain, feed intake, survival and feed conversion ratio. However, Treatment I had the highest feed intake, while treatment n had the highest weight gain and feed conversion ratio.
