Apparent digestibility coefficient of protein sources for carp, Cyprinus carpio L.

Abstract

The digestibility of various diet components as protein sources for common carp, Cyprinus carpio L., at 500–800 g was studied by using an inert marker in the feed and collecting the faeces by stripping. Protein in fish meal (83.8%) and soybean meal (69.8%) were significantly more digestible than that of poultry meal (47.2%). Energy digestibility tests gave the following results: fish meal 93.4%, soybean meal 74.7% and poultry meal 63.9%. It was evident that the ability of carp to digest proteins is very high, and that they can utilize proteins as the main component of their diet.

Digestibility Characteristics of Selected Feed Ingredients for Developing Bespoke Diets for Nile Tilapia Culture in Europe and North America

“…To obtain optimum balanced diets the nutritional components of fish diets should be investigated and formulated separately for each species in turn. Previously, Plakas and Katamaya (1981) and Degani et al (1997a) reported somewhat lower ADC of nutrients in common carp, compared to later studies on Nile tilapia by Köprücü et al (2004), Köprücü andÖzdemir (2005), and Guimarães et al (2008b). This was in agreement with the current study which indicated that Nile tilapia may have a higher digestive capability than many other fish, especially those with limited or no stomach compartment for acidic proteolytic digestion.…”

Effect of fish size and temperature on the utilization of different protein sources in two catfish species

“…Fishmeal and soybean meal produced higher values of ADC than other feed ingredients. A higher value of digestibility for these ingredients has also been reported for other fish species (Nose 1967;Ogino & Chen 1973;Kim 1974;Brown & Strange 1985;Hanley 1987;NRC 1993;Khan 1994;Anwar & Jafri 1995;Degani et al 1997). ADC observed in C. gariepinus for brown fishmeal was similar to the values obtained for it in carp, Cyprinus carpio (L.) (Kim 1974).…”

Apparent Digestible Energy and Nutrient Digestibility Coefficients of Diet Ingredients for Pacu Piaractus brachypomus

“…The ADC of protein from corn in P. brachypomus (85.1%) was lower than the values found for hybrid tilapia Oreochromis niloticus X 0. uureus (97.9%) (Takeuchi et al 1994) and common carp (93.3%) (Degani et al 1997), but similar to that obtained for Nile tilapia (87.1%) (Furuya et al 2001). Crude protein digestibility coefficients for wheat bran in pacu (61.6%) were notably lower than those of the other ingredients.…”
