Effect of exogenous enzymes in plant-based diets on growth of Nile tilapia fingerlings
Exogenous enzymes phytase and a xylanase-β-glucanase mixture can, individually or combined, improve growth performance of juvenile Nile tilapia.
Exogenous enzymes phytase and a xylanase-β-glucanase mixture can, individually or combined, improve growth performance of juvenile Nile tilapia.
This study evaluated the effects of a combination of two exogenous carbohydrases – xylanase and β-glucanase (XB) – to enhance growth performance Nile tilapia juveniles.
In a commercial field trial, Nile tilapia were distributed in net cages and fed diets containing increasing threonine:lysine ratios.
Determining dietary requirements for tilapia requires precise formulation. Individual amino acids must be considered to establish well-balanced diets.
Sorghum could be used to replace corn meal in aquafeed. It is currently used in the preparation of nonruminant and ruminant feeds.
