ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted for 16
weeks in the laboratory of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management, Michael
Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike to evaluate the effect of the use of
farm-made feed supplementation with tilapia meal on growth and body composition
of clarias gariepinus in plastic containers. Different inclusion levels of
tilapia meal in a 40% crude protein feed, at the same stocking density, and
replicated thrice were used in the experiment. These were 10% and 5% inclusion
levels. In a third treatment, the 40% crude protein meal composed from local
feed ingredients was fed. In a fourth treatment, a commercially available feed
(Coppens), whose performance was known, was used as control. ANOVA showed that
mean weight gain and specific growth rate are significantly different among the
treatments (p < 0.05). It was observed that treatment 4 had the highest mean
weight, specified growth rate and survival rate of 141. 5g, 1.19 and 93.33%
respectively when compared with other treatments.
