INTRODUCTION
• NEED FOR COST EFFICIENT FEED IN FISH
PRODUCTION
• THE ISSUE OF MAIZE BEING THE MAJOR
SOURCE METABOLIZABLE ENERGY IN FISH
DIET.
• PLANTAIN PEEL AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR MAIZE
OBJECTIVES
Effects of:
• different processing methods on the nutritional
value of plantain peel.
• Varying levels of processed plantain peel on
growth performance and nutrient utilization of
the Nile tilapia O. Niloticus.
• Varying levels of processed plantain peel on
nutrient digestibility of the Nile tilapia O. niloticus
• Varying levels of processed plantain peel in the
diets of O. niloticus on the blood parameters and
the hepatosomatic index.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
DETERMINATION OF THE NUTRITIONAL VALUES OF
PROCESSED PLANTAIN PEELS
• COLLECTION OF RIPE AND UNRIPE PLANTAIN
PEELS
• PROCESSING OF BOTH RIPE AND UNRIPE
PLANTAIN PEELS
• ANALYSIS FOR PROXIMATE COMPOSITION,
MINERALS, ANTINUTRITIONAL COMPONENTS
AND THE AMINO ACID PROFILE OF ALL THE
PROCESSED FORMS
REPLACEMENT OF MAIZE WITH PROCESSED
PLANTAIN PEEL MEALS
THESE ARE SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS IN WHICH
DIFFERENTLY PROCESSED PLANTAIN PEEL MEALS
WILL BE INCOPORATED AT VARIOUS LEVELS OF
REPLACEMENT OF MAIZE IN THE DIET OF NILE
TILAPIA
• THE
EFFECT
OF
DIET
ON
GROWTH
PERFORMANCE,
NUTRIENT
UTILIZATION,
DIGESTIBILITY AND BLOOD PARAMETERS ARE
BEING TESTED IN THIS EXPT.
• THE RESULT S WILL BE ANALYSED
STATISTICALLY USING ANOVA, CORRELATION
ANALYSIS AND DMRT TO TEST THE LEVEL OF
SIGNIFICANCE AMONG TREATMENTS
