Abstract

In order to determine the biological response of juvenile red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.), fed different levels of inclusion of proteinic sugarcane meal (PSM), four isoprotein diets were formulated with different levels of PSM inclusion (T0:0 %; T6:6 %; T8:8 %, and T10:10 %). Six hundred young red tilapias with average initial weight of 4.16 ? 0.01 g were fed for 60 d. They were spread in a completely randomized design of five rectangular cages per treatment (0.256 m3; 0.8 ? 0.8 ? 0.4 m), suspended on a circular concrete pond (8 m diameter and 2 m height), with 30 fishes per cage. They were determined final weight, daily weight increase, protein efficiency rate, feed conversion factor, and survival. There were not significant differences between the treatments as to growth indicators and feed utilization. Survival showed values of 99 %. It was concluded that the PSM can be included in the diets of juvenile red tilapia up to 10 %, not affecting the bio-productive indicators.
Key words: proteinic sugarcane meal, red tilapia.
