Effect of Lysine Supplementation in Commercial Feed on Energy Retention and Feed Conversion Ratio of Carp (Osphronemus gouramy)

Abstract

The long period of raising carp (Osphronemus gouramy) causes the need for excessive feed. One way that can accelerate the growth of this fish in order to shorten the maintenance period is by the addition of essential amino acids, such as lysine. However, this certainly gives its own influence on energy retention. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the influences of addition of lysine in feed on energy retention and feed conversion ratio of carp. The research method used an experimental method with a completely randomized design consisting of five treatments and four replications. The treatments used were the addition of Lysine 0%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5% to the feed. The present experiment was conducted for a year. The results showed that the addition of lysine as much as 2% in commercial feed can increase the energy retention of carp (Osphronemus gouramy). Moreover, the addition of lysine by giving up to 2.5% cannot reduce the feed conversion ratio in carp (Osphronemus gourami) rearing. It can be concluded that the use of lysine has different effects related to the increase in retention and decrease conversion ratio in carp.

The Effect Giving of Probiotics in Water on Feed Efficiency and Water Quality for Aquaculture Tilapia (Oreochromus niloticus)

“…Conversely, water conditions that are in accordance with the needs of fish will support their growth and survival. Water quality can be known by observing water quality parameters (Thaiin, 2016). According to Fitriah (2004), changing water conditions will cause stress for fish and physiological disturbances that can inhibit metabolic processes and result in decreased fish appetite.…”

Ecotoxic effect of agriculture and environmental important bioinoculant effective microorganism (EM) derived metabolites on microbial agro active agents

“…An upsurge in population have resulted in intensive land use, which has decreased soil fertility, caused erosion and anthropological impacts. Concerns have been raised regarding the use of chemical fertilizers that increase crop yield but also cause eutrophication, soil acidification, contamination of groundwater, and decreased microbial diversity (Thaiin et al., 2021). New technologies aim to increase agricultural production, but some, like mineral fertilizers and agrochemicals, have high costs and environmental effects.…”
