| dc.description.abstract | A 42-day feeding experiment was conducted in circular tanks to evaluate the potential use of vermimeal as a protein source in practical diets for the post-larvae of Macrobrachium rosenbergii. The study consisted of three treatment, namely: Treatment I commercial feed (control); Treatment II- Vermimeal and Treatment III-fishmeal. All experimental diets contained approximately 31 % crude protein. Results of the study revealed that M. rosenbergii fed with fishmeal had significantly better growth than those fed with commercial feed and vermimeal. However, M. rosenbergii fed with vermimeal had significantly better growth compared to those fed with commercial. Survival rate of M. rosenbergii in all treatment were comparable. Results of the study suggests that vermimeal can be a potential source of protein for rearing M. rosenbergii. | |
