study seeks to determine the nutritive potential of <i>Moringa oleifera </i> Leaf (MOL) meal as replacement for soybean meal in
the diet of <i>Oreochromis niloticus </i>fin­gerlings.
Five diets of 25 % crude protein were formu­lated with MOL meal substituting
soybeans (14.68 level of inclusion) at 25 %, 50 %, 75 %, 100% and con­trol diet
had no inclusion of MOL. Twenty fingerlings were randomly allocated in
replicate for each treat­ment in outdoor hapas and fed 5 % body weight for a of
56 days, weighing was done weekly and feed ad­justed appropriately. Results
obtained revealed that 50 % substitution of MOL meal for soybean meal gave the
best growth and nutrient utilization, beyond this, growth significantly
reduced, hence for better perfor­mance of <i>O.
niloticus, </i> MOL should not be included more than 7.34 %. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Özkan ÖZDEN}
