 note = {Feeding trials using purified diets, designed as two-way layout experiments, were performed
to clarify the optimum dietary protein level for Tilapia nilotica fingerings when they were reared
with casein-gelatin (3:1) diets with two digestible carbohydrate levels (30% and 40%).
Regardless the digestible carbohydrate levels examined, the weight gain and feed conversion
efficiency (FCE) of the fingerlings improved with increasing protein levels from 25% to 35%,
whereas the protein efficiency ratio (PER) leveled off within the range of 25% to 35% protein
levels and decreased with increase of protein levels from 35% to 40%. The digestible
carbohydrate levels had no significant effects on the weight gain, FCE, and PER of T.nilotica.
These results indicate that T.nilotica fingerlings grow optimally on diets containing about 35%
protein when diets contain 12% lipids and 30—40% digestible carbohydrate.},
