Optimization of flaxseed oil feeding time length in adult Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) as a function of muscle omega-3 fatty acids composition

This study evaluated the omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids and the proximate composition of muscle tissue of adult Nile tilapias to select the best feeding time length with a diet containing 70 (g kg−1 wt) flaxseed oil (FO). The results showed that dietary complementation with FO for 45 days is suitable for obtaining high levels of protein (164 g kg−1), total lipids (94 g kg−1), and ash (18 g kg−1). Furthermore, there was a significant difference (P <...
