Channel Catfish: Dietary Effects on Body Compostion and Storage Quality
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Catfish diets must provide enough energy, protein, vitamins and minerals in the proper proportions for fast, efficient growth and health maintenance. Choosing the right feed plays an important role in determining the productivity and profitability of aquaculture operations. But, producers aren’t the only people who are interested in diet quality. Certain characteristics of the diet influence the quality of catfish products during processing and storage. As a result, catfish processors, wholesale marketers and retailers also depend on proper feed quality to yield desirable results.

Effects of dietary arginine on hematological parameters and innate immune function of channel catfish.
The effects of elevated dietary arginine on the hematology and immune function of juvenile channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus were evaluated by means of in vivo and in vitro experiments. Healthy juvenile channel catfish (average weight, 34.8 g) were fed casein-gelatin-based diets containing 28% crude protein and supplemented with crystalline L-arginine (ARG) at 0.5, 1, 2, or 4% of diet. An int...
متن کاملEffect of dietary cortisol administration on growth and reproductive success of channel catfish
The effect of cortisol administration on reproductive performance was investigated in channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus broodfish. Cortisol was added to a commercial catfish feed by dissolving in ethanol and spraying the feed to yield a dietary concentration of 150mgkg 1 feed. The cortisol diet and the control (no cortisol) diet were offered at a rate of 1% of biomass to three replicate ponds...
متن کاملEffects of dietary vitamin E on growth performance as well as intestinal structure and function of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus, Rafinesque 1818)
To evaluate the impact of dietary vitamin E supplementation on growth performance, the intestinal structure and function of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus, Rafinesque 1818) was investigated. A total of 900 healthy channel catfish (weight, 5.20±0.15 g) were divided into four groups, which received experimental diets with different vitamin E content (0, 50, 100 or 1,000 mg/kg). At the end o...
متن کاملGrowth performance and some haematological parameters of ornamental striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) fed on dietary nucleotide
The effects of dietary nucleotide (NT) on growth performance and some haematological parameters of striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) were investigated. Different levels of the NT (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1%) in the diet were used for 10 weeks starting on the fish weighted (1.52 ± 0.11 g). The results showed that NT supplementations did not improve final weight, weight gain, food conserv...
متن کاملComparison of Growth, Processing Yield, and Body Composition of USDA103 and Mississippi “Normal” Strains of Channel Catfish Fed Diets Containing Three Concentrations of Protein
Ahstracr.-This study evaluated the effects of dietary protein concentration (26, 28, and 32%) on growth. feed efficiency, processing yield, and body composition of USDA 103 and Mississippi “normal” (MN) strains of channel catfish raised in ponds. Fingerling channel catfish (average weight = 32.5 and 47.3 g/fish for USDA103 and MN strains, respectively) were stocked into 24 0.04-ha ponds (12 pon...
