“…The present study shows that FCR increases as soybean addition increases from 2.17 to 2.9. The high level of FCR observed in this study could be explained by the texture of homemade food pellets that lost nutrients through leaching into the water and worsened the feed conversion rate, which is contrary to the conclusion of [27], whose pellet texture improved the growth rate of O. niloticus. In addition, it is important to note that the amount of feed included in the FCR calculation can greatly exceed the amount actually consumed by the fish because, we assumed that the amount of feed distributed was totally consumed by the fish.…”

This study was conducted to investigate if the soybean meal incorporation in locally made diet will improves the growth and survival performances of fry of Nile tilapia in rural area of Senegal. A completely randomized design with four treatments of soybean meal incorporation (0, 15, 30 and 32%) was utilized in this study. The formulated diets had 35% crude protein content. The fingerlings were fed to satiation two times a day at 9 AM and 4 PM for 56 days. The analysis of variance showed final weight, specific growth rate and percent weight gain of fish increased significantly (P < 0.05) as soybean meal was added up to 30% level. The feed conversion ratio values were high and decreased significantly (P < 0.05) with the increase of soybean meal in the diet, ranging from 2.17 to 2.90. There was also a significant difference (P < 0.05) in survival among treatment, survival ranged from 62.22% to 91.11%. Except temperature, the water quality parameters were in the optimal range of O. niloticus. In conclusion, the result of this study shows that soybean meal can be added to up to 30% in the O. niloticus diet, without affecting growth performances.

“…Fish farmers investigated use different types of ingredients in food preparation. This is recommended not only to reduce food cost but also to improve its nutritional quality (Bamba et al, 2014). It would be better to select local raw materials like palm kernel meal according to their price and availability to make fish feed.…”

“…It would be interesting to initiate granulation that will allow farmers to improve their product. This technique consists in converting a flour based feed into pellets and it has technical advantages (loss reduction), zootechnique (balance of components, better palatability and digestibility) and health (less infection and respect of the ecosystem) (Bamba et al, 2014). Pond fertilization with compost for the development of plankton (Lacroix, 2004) is also observed in various ways in the regions.…”

In Togo, fish farming is faced with several problems which oblige farmers to develop local production techniques that explain the low level of production. To assess the current situation, a survey was conducted to collect information on this activity in 91 Togolese fish farms located in the five regions of the country. The survey has shown the existence of two production systems, namely the extensive majority system (87.91%) practiced in ponds and water reservoirs and the semi intensive system (12.09%) implemented in tanks and ponds. The lack of accurate data has made it difficult to estimate production. Nevertheless, eight fish species are found in these environments in which tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and the African cat fish (Clarias gariepinus) represent 80% of farmed species. Feed, representing over 50% of fish production cost, remains the major constraint on the development of this activity. However, agro-industrial by-product resources were available depending on region and are recoverable for use as fish feed. This is the case for palm kernel meal which was abundant and little studied in Togo. Sociologically, fish farming was more a matter of group (61.54%) than individual (38.46%) activity. The extensive fish farming system deserves to be improved and agro-industrial by-products analyzed and valued for the promotion of fish farming in Togo.

“…Its cost, which exceeds 50% of production cost in fish farming (Gourene et al, 2002) is related to fish meal use as main protein source in compound feed for aquaculture (Hossain et al, 2001). It is important to seek for alternative sources of protein to reduce production cost of fish (Bamba et al, 2014). Vegetable by-products are used more and more in breeding (Soliman et al, 2005).…”

Article HistoryAn experiment was conducted to determine the effect of treated palm kernel meal in diets on production parameters of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus reared in concrete tanks. Fingerlings of Tilapia with an average initial weight 6.22 ± 0.25 g and an average size 7.58 ± 0.21 cm were fed four isonitrogenous diets each containing 30% palm kernel meal treated one-hour or not. So we have NT (untreated), DW (dipped in water), CW (cooked in water) and SW (steamed). These diets were compared with a commercial fish feed, Raanan (RA), all about 32% crude protein. After 8 weeks of experiment the final body weight varied between 29.57 and 43.01 g according to the tested treatments. The best growth rate and food conversion ratio were obtained with diet CW containing palm kernel meal cooked in water with specific growth rate (SGR) of 3.24 %/d and food conversion ratio (FCR) of 1.97 against a SGR of 3.44%/d and a FCR of 1.72 obtained with commercial feed (RA). Moreover, the tested diets do not seem to have any effect on the intestine size but the cooking seems to act on fish liver weight and body composition. The production parameters were improved with the diet containing palm kernel meal cooked in water which seems to be the interest food for O. niloticus on growing. . Contribution/Originality:The authors declare that there is no conflict of interests in relation to this original article. This study is one of very few studies which have investigated on palm kernel meal in diet in order to reduce the cost of fish feed.
