Utilisation des déchets de biscuiterie dans l'alimentation de la daurade Sparus aurata.

Details are given of a study conducted with cultured seabream, Sparus aurata, (10 g initial mean weight) in order to reduce feed costs by decreasing protein levels and increasing carbohydrates. The experiment consisted in the introduction of a raw material in the fish diet which rich in carbohydrate and available locally (wastes from a biscuit factor) so that it could be used as a substitute for soya, which contains more protein but has to be imported. Results show that feed containing 16% biscuit wastes can given the same growth, survival and food conversion as feed containing 16% soya. This is only possible if the biscuit wastes are cooked well, otherwise the results are not so good. This experimental diet, rich in carbohydrate, has a low cost and good cohesion which limits food loss. The results of this study require confirmation by further experiments with different levels of biscuit wastes and proteins.
