(Oreochromis niloticus). Cottonseed meals (CSM) with different protein levels (35, 39 and 40%) were evaluated to determine their chemical composition and measure apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) of dry matter, protein, amino acids, energy, lipid and minerals for Nile tilapia. Apparent digestibility coefficients were determined using a reference purified diet containing 0.1% of chromic oxide indicator, ...
The effects of different levels of dietary copper on growth performance and physiological parameters of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) were analyzed for 120 days. The experimental design was completely randomized, with five treatments (0.0; 4.0; 80.0; 160.0 and 320.0mg cooper/kg diet as cooper sulfate hepahydrate, 24.05% copper) and six replicates. One hundred and eighty fish, with 2.0 ± 0.05g a...
The objective of this study was to determine the best dietary level of vitamin E and selenium on diets for Amazon prawn, Macrobrachium amazonicum (Crustacea). Thus, post-larvae of 280mg average weight and 20.60mm average length were kept in 28 aquaria (12.00L) supplied with water. They were maintained in automatic control of temperature, in a completely randomized factorial experiment 3x2 design, plus an additi...
