Abstract

A seventy-five-day feeding study was performed to investigate the usage of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meal as an alternative protein source in carp diets (Cyprinus carpio). In this study, experimental fish were fed with four different diets (fish meal-based without Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) meal (BSFL0), 50% (BSFL50), 65% (BSFL65), and 75% (BSFL75) of fish meal substitution with BSFL), with triplicate. The carps (1.045±0.083 g) were randomly stocked into twelve flow-through tanks with a density of 50 fish per tank and reared for 75 days. Diet feed was provided to carps as a proportion of their biomass (5% of their mass per day) with two meals a day. Carps fed with BSFL65 meal showed positive effects on weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), protein efficiency ratio (PER), apparent net protein utilization (ANPU), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). There were significant differences in moisture, crude protein, lipid, and ash content in the whole body among dietary groups (P<0.05). The protein content of the carp-fed BSFL75 diet group (20.22%) was significantly the highest among all three diet groups. Consequently, a BSFL meal can be considered as an alternative animal source of protein for the carp diet.

Sazan (Cyprinus carpio) Diyetlerinde Alternatif Protein Kaynağı Olarak Siyah Asker Sineği (Hermetia illucens) Larvası Ununun Kullanımı

Abstract

Yetmiş beş günlük besleme çalışmasında, Sazan (Cyprinus carpio) diyetlerinde alternatif protein kaynağı olarak Siyah Asker Sineği (Hermetia illucens) Larvası Ununun kullanım imkânları araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada, üç tekerrürlü olmak üzere, ASSL0 (Kontrol diyet grubu: sadece Balık unu), ASSL50 (Balık ununa ikame %50 ASSL), ASSL65 (Balık ununa ikame %65 ASSL) ve ASSL75 (Balık ununa ikame %75 ASSL) olacak şekilde dört farklı diyetle deneme balıkları beslenmiştir. Ortalama başlangıç ağırlıkları 1,045±0,083 g olan sazanlar (Cyprinus carpio) sürekli su akışının sağlandığı 12 adet tanka tesadüfi olarak ve her bir tanka stok yoğunluğu 50 adet olacak şekilde stoklanmış ve 75 gün süre ile besleme çalışması devam etmiştir. Deneme yemleri sazanlara vücut ağırlıklarının %5’i oranında sabah ve akşam olmak üzere günde iki kez verilmiştir. Deneme periyotu sonunda, ASSL65 diyet grubunda ağırlık kazancı, spesifik büyüme oranı, protein etkinlik oranı, net protein kullanım oranı ve yem değerlendirme oranı pozitif yönde etkilenmiştir. Diyet grupları arasında nem, ham protein, yağ ve kül içeriği açısından önemli farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir (P <0,05). ASSL75 diyet grubunun protein içeriği (% 20.22), diğer diyet grupları arasında önemli ölçüde yüksek seviyede bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, Siyah asker sineği larvası unu sazan diyeti için alternatif hayvansal protein kaynağı olarak düşünülebilir.
