varying levels of groundnut oil was assessed on growth of African catfish.
Fingerlings with mean weight 1.87g were stocked at 20 fish per hapa (measuring
1m x 1m x 1m) and fed five 35% Crude protein diets formulated with groundnut
oil (GO) included at 0.00%, 2.50%, 5.00%, 7.50% and 10.00%. After eight weeks
of feeding, result shows evidence of the fact that increasing lipid level
spared dietary protein conversion into energy as GO inclusion significantly
performed better than the control without GO, however, performance was
optimized at 2.50% GO inclusion in the diet, beyond this growth significantly
reduced. </span> </span> </p> <p> </p> </div>}, number={1}, publisher={Ege University}
