Supplementing Artificial Diets for Catfish (Glarias macrocephalus)Fry with Tubifex
Three-week-old catfish (Clarias macrocephalus) fry were fed experimental diets at protein levels of 30% and 35% fish meal dominant and 35% and 40% soybean dominant types for 8 weeks. Nine treatments were tested with four treatment consisting wholly of experimental diets, one ofTubifex (control) an...

| Summary: | Three-week-old catfish (Clarias macrocephalus) fry were fed experimental diets at protein levels of 30% and
35% fish meal dominant and 35% and 40% soybean dominant types for 8 weeks. Nine treatments were tested
with four treatment consisting wholly of experimental diets, one ofTubifex (control) and the remaining four diets
supplemented with live Tubifex. Fish reared on experimental diets supplemented with live Tubifex fed more
actively and showed better growth and feed efficiency than those reared without supplemented diets. Those on the
30% and 35% fish meal dominant feed showed significantly better growth and feed conversion than those fed
35% 40% soybean dominant diet. |
