| EFFECT OF LIVE MAGGOT ON GROWTH OF THE NILE PERCH, <i>Oreochromis niloticus</i> (CICHLIDAE) IN SOUTH EASTERN NIGERIA | |
Abstract/OtherAbstract
:
|
Analysis of the housefly (<I>Musca domestica</I>) larvae (maggot), showed high content of protein, when combined in diet with farm by-product. Wheat offal and the maggot, at a ratio of 4:1 recorded higher growth rate or body weight gain of 3.62% per day and better feed conversion rate of 4.15 than when the wheat offal was fed singly. The maggot can be cheap source of protein for fish farmers. <B>KEY WORDS:</B> Live maggots, Nile perch, Nigeria, fish growth, protein source. <I>Global Journal of Agricultural Sciences</I> Vol.2(2) 2003: 72-73 |
