Usage of Moringa olifera seed cake as food for Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings.
Keywords:
Moringa olifera, Oreochromis niloticus, food and feeding
Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the suitability of Moringa olifera seed cake as a protein source for Oreochromis niloticus fry. It is concluded that Moringa olifera seed cake can be used as a dietary protein in Nile tilapia fry without significant reduction in growth performance. The body weight gain ranged from 50.91 to 85.17 gm within three weeks. Fry fed a mixture of Moringa olifera seed cake and wheat bran (1:1) had better growth performance than those on wheat bran only.
