This study investigated the use of cooked sunflower seed meal as soybean meal replacer in Clarias gariepinus diet in a 56-day feeding trial using growth performance, nutrient utilization, body composition, digestibility, haematology and liver histology as indices of assessment. Sunflower seed meal was cooked for 10, 20 and 30 minutes. Each of the differently cooked sunflower seed meal replaced soybean meal portion of control diet at 15, 30 and 45% to produce nine 40% crude protein, 18kj/kg test diets. A diet without sunflower meal served as the control. Triplicate groups of fish in 70-litre capacity aerated rectangular plastic tanks were alloted to each dietary treatment at a stocking rate of 15 fingerlings (3.72±0.22g average weight) per tank in a completely randomized design. Fish were fed to satiation. Data obtained from the experiment were subjected to statistical analysis. The results of the experiment revealed that up to 30% replacement level of 10- and 20-minutes cooked sunflower produced a statistically similar results with soybean-based control diets.

Inclusion Level

A feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of biscuit waste meal on the growth performance and utilization of Clarias gariepinus juveniles. A total of 300 juveniles of average weight 8.85g were randomly divided into five Treatments, each Treatment had three replicates. Twenty juveniles were distributed into each happa (0.7m3). The happa were suspended to ¾ of their volume using kuralon ropes carefully tied round the bamboo poles across the concrete tanks. Five diets containing 40% crude protein were formulated in which maize was replaced with biscuit waste meal at treatment; Diet 1 (TD1) 0%, 25% (TD2), 50% (TD3), 75% (TD4), 100% (TD5) levels. The fish were fed at 3% body weight per day for 10weeks. The results showed that biscuit waste was most suitable as an energy supplement when incorporated at 25% replacement (TD2) with maize. TD1 had the highest weight gain followed by TD2, TD3, TD4 and TD5 respectively. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in the growth response in TD1 (0%), TD2 (25%) and TD3 (50%). It is therefore concluded that biscuit waste meal is a cheap source of non conventional energy source which can be used favorably to replace maize (25% inclusion level) as an energy source in the diets of C. gariepinus.

Poultry Droppings

Effects of varying levels of Dried Poultry Droppings fed Clarias gariepinus were investigated for 84 days. The fish meal was partially and completely replaced by dried poultry droppings at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% inclusions and was allotted T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Investigation conducted on the occurrence of microbes in the fish feeds revealed that T5 varied significantly (p<0.05) in Total Viable Count (TVC) (13.0×105 cfu/g) and Total Fungal Count (TFC) (0.70×105 cfu/g) respectively. The microbial properties of the fish carcass showed that T5 was significantly higher (p<0.05) in TVC (2.72×105 cfu/g), TCC (0.33×105 cfu/g), while T3 and T5 were significantly higher in TFC (0.20×103 cfu/g). The haematological parameters of Clarias gariepinus fed diet substituted with dried poultry droppings showed that Packed Cell Volume (PCV) (43.00 g/l) and Haemoglobin (Hb) (11.23 g/l) of T1 were significantly higher (p<0.05) than other treatments. The values of Red Blood Cell (RBC) revealed that T2 (3.77×106 mm3 ) was significantly different (p<0.05) compared to other treatments. The growth performance showed that T2 varied significantly (p<0.05) in Mean Weight Gain (MWG) (29.33 g) and Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) (0.09). The findings of the current study imply that feed microbes affected the haematological parameters of the fish and equally suppressed the growth of the fish.
