Abstract: (3638 Views)

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of replacement of fish meal by different levels of poultry by-product meal on growth performance and body composition in juvenile Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii). One hundred thirty-five Siberian juvenile (initial body weight of 169.4 ± 2.39 g were randomly distributed in five treatments and three replicates. The experimental diets including different levels of poultry by-product meal (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 percent) replaced for fish meal. The diet protein and fat contents were 41.22 and 15.06 percent and 19 MJ energy. During the 9-week feeding period, the fish were fed the experimental diets to apparent satiation three times daily (8:00, 14:00 and 18:00 clocks). At the end of rearing period, growth performance parameters and fish body composition were analyzed. The results showed no significant differences in growth performance among different treatments (P>0.05). Moreover, there were no significant differences in crude protein, crude fat, moisture and ash contents of the whole body among different treatments (P>0.05). The results of this study indicate that poultry by-product meal could be included up to 80 percent with no adverse effect on growth performance and body composition in juvenile Siberian sturgeon.
