Growth performance of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings fed diets containing varying levels of groundnut oil

Abstract: The effect of varying levels of groundnut oil was assessed on growth of African catfish. Fingerlings with mean weight 1.87g were stocked at 20 fish per hapa (measuring 1m x 1m x 1m) and fed five 35% Crude protein diets formulated with groundnut oil (GO) included at 0.00%, 2.50%, 5.00%, 7.50% and 10.00%. After eight weeks of feeding, result shows evidence of the fact that increasing lipid level spared dietary protein conversion into energy as GO inclusion significantly performed better than the control without GO, however, performance was optimized at 2.50% GO inclusion in the diet, beyond this growth significantly reduced.
