Rice bran in the diet as an enriching source of long chain Omega (n-3) poly unsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFAs) in fillets of genetically improved farmed Tilapia (GIFT)
Abstract:Rice bran is a cheap, easily available, widely used fish feed ingredient in Asian countries. In this study, contribution of rice bran on the growth and fatty acid profile of fillets of genetically improved farmed Tilapia (GIFT) fish was evaluated. Two diets with 30 % protein and different lipid levels (7.70 % in Diet I and 12.55 % in Diet II) were formulated. Diet I had 9 % rice bran and 18 % maize whereas Diet II had 24 % rice bran and 3 % maize. Other ingredients were common and used in same percentages. GIF… Show more
