Abstract

This feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the potential of replacing fish meal with blood meal in practical diets for nursing of all-male red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.). Two sizes of fish with an initial weight of 0.98 g (S1 size) and 4.50 g (S2 size) were raised in 150-L glass tanks for 8 weeks. Four experimental diets were prepared which fish meal was replaced by 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% of blood meal (diets BM0, BM5, BM10, and BM15, respectively). A blood meal-free diet (BM0) was used as a control group. All experimental diets were formulated to contain 32% protein and 8% lipid. The results of the present study showed that the growth and feed efficiency of S1-size fish fed with diets containing blood meal was significantly lower than the control group (p<0.05). S2-size fish in the BM5 and the control group had no significant differences (p>0.05) in growth performance, feed efficiency, and costs but were significantly higher than the BM10 and BM15 groups (p<0.05). Therefore, blood meal can replace fishmeal at a 5% replacement level in practical diets of red tilapia juveniles (S2) without affecting the growth and decreasing production costs up to 5%.         Keywords :  Red tilapia ; blood meal ; fish meal substitute ; nursing
