Effects of Soaked Pigeon Peas Seed Using graded Levels on the Growth performance and Food Utilization of Mon-sex Nile Tilapia, (Oreochromis Niloticus) Fingerlings Diets.

Abstract

This experiment was conducted out in the Hatchery of College of Animal Production Science and Technology the Sudan University of Science and Technology during the period from 10 July to 30 Agates 1028 The objective of the study was Effects of Soaked Pigeon Peas Seed Using graded Levels on the Growth performance and Food Utilization of Mon-sex Nile Tilapia, (Oreochromis niloticus) Fingerlings Diets. A total of fish 140 Nile tilapia, were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments (0, 25%, 50% and 75%), each treatment was composed of three replicates (10fish/replicate). The study demonstrated that there were significant differences (p≤0.05) in the (WG g/Fish), (DWG g/Fish) and (SGR) of mono-sex Nile tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus) fed on diets with partially replaced by Pigeon peas. InControl, T1, T2% and T3% \days increase in control (3.4±0.01 to 9.93±0.73), T1(3.3±00 to 9.00±0.53),T2 (3.2±00 to7.60±0.26) and T3(3.3±00 to 7.23±0.03) at (p≤0.05), and the Lowest level of survival rate 69.12% was noted in fish fed with the diet containing the level of Pigeon Peas T2 (50%). and the heist of increase was noted in fish fed with the diet containing the level of Pigeon Peas T1 (25%),it recorded the best effect in growth index.
