“…Quality feed, when fed at the recommended rate under optimal water quality conditions, leads to profitability. However, the bioavailability of the nutrients and the physical quality of the feed, which can be affected by processing technology, are the most important factors in maximizing feed utilization (Oke et al, 2021). From an economic point of view, in the present study, the addition of graded levels of Pell-Gel-Dry ® (as a novel binder agent) in O. niloticus diet has the highest economic efficiency, especially at levels of 400 and 300g/ ton of floating and sinking diets, respectively, compared to those fed the control diet.…”

Aqua-feed binders are one of the most important agents in commercial fish feeds. They help to bind all the ingredients together, which leads to better digestion and absorption of nutrients by fish. The present study was conducted over 90 days (as an in vivo experiment) to evaluate the dietary addition of Pell-Gel-Dry ® as a growth promoter for the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. In two separate experiments, fish were fed two different diets (floating and sinking); each diet was bounded by the graded levels (0, 200, 300, and 400g/ ton of Pell-Gel-Dry ®). Thus, a total of 2000 O. niloticus fingerlings were randomly distributed into four treatments in each diet and fed daily at a rate of 4% of their live body weight. Before the beginning of the in vivo experiment, the in vitro experiment was conducted to determine the water stability percentage nb for the abovetested diets. The obtained results showed that fish fed the floating and sinking diets bounded with the graded levels of Pell-Gel-Dry ® revealed the highest growth performance, feed utilization, chemical composition of the fish body and muscles, economic efficiency parameters, and water stability than those fed the control diet, especially at levels of 400 and 300g/ ton of Pell-Gel-Dry ® , respectively. Thus, it could be concluded that the useful use of Pell-Gel-Dry ® at these levels demonstrated a promising growth promoter and feed binder agent for O. niloticus with predictable sustainability and economic properties for fish farmers.

Abstract. The experiment was conducted to assess the use of Abelmoschus esculentus leaves powder as binders in the production of fish feed pellets. Six experimental diets were formulated with three containing starch as binder while the other three contained A. esculentus as binder. Each diet contained maize or wheat individually or in combination as energy source. The diets were designated as MAI (Maize only), WHE (Wheat only), MAW (Maize and Wheat only), MAA (Maize and A. esculentus), WHA (Wheat and A. esculentus) and MWA (Maize, Wheat and Abelmoscus esculentus). Physical properties and dietary effects of the diets were assessed using Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings. There was significant difference (P<0.05) in the sinking rate (cm.sec-1), thickness strength (mm), water absorption index, hardness (mm) and water stability (%) and bulk density (g.cm-3) of experimental diets. Diet MAI (Maize only with corn starch) had a significantly slower sinking rate of 6.77±0.10 cm.sec-1 when compared to the other diets. Diets MAA (Maize only with A. esculentus) and MAW (Maize and Wheat with corn starch) had the highest water stability (88.90±0.46%) while the lowest was diet MAI (85.20±0.10%). Crushing load value for the diet MWA (Maize and wheat with A. esculentus) of 357.00±0.00N was the highest and 119.00±0.00 N for diet MAI was the least. There was significant difference (P<0.05) in the friability of experimental diets at different revolution speed. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in the mean final weight, mean weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, and feed efficiency of experimental fish fed with the experimental diets. Fish fed diet MAA had a significantly higher (P<0.05) mean weight gain, specific growth rate, feed efficiency ratio compared to the fish fed other diets. The results from this experiment showed that A. esculentus leaf soaked for 24 hours can be used as binder in fish feed production.
