Abstract:This study evaluated the ability of juvenile white Pirapitinga to select food with different tryptophan content in order to self-balance the amino acid intake using information originated from the food source. Therefore, how Tryptophan (Trp) intake affected self-balance of food and productive performance is assessed. The experiment consisted in providing diets supplemented with Trp and a control diet to juveniles with initial weight from 46.99 to 47.59 g as follows: Rc (0.32% Trp-control ration), R2-0.64% Trp,… Show more
