Growth Responses Of Oreochromis Nilotleus (l.) Fed Diets Containing Mucuna Meal At Different Inclusion Levels

ABSTRACT This study was undertaken to assess the potential for including mucuna meal as a partial replacement for locally available fish meal in diets for Oreochromis niloticus (L.). Seven groups o± fish were fed prescribe diets at 4% body weight once a day for 56 days. The water temperature and p remained essentially the same during the experiment at 29°C and 6.8 respectively. Fish meal was the only source of supplemental protein in the control rati(i.e diet 1). Diets 2, 3 and 4 had part of the fishmeal replaced with 10%, 20% and 30% raw mucuna beans respectively while diets 5, 6 and 7 had. …
