The potential of soy pulp (Okara) as alternative protein source to tilapia fish (Oreochromis spp.)

In the past years, fish meal was used as the main protein source in tilapia feed. However, due to the increase of price of the ingredients, a lot of research have been conducted to study the alternative protein source that can replace the fish meal. The feed costs can potentially be reduced by subst...
