Aurantiochytriumsp. meal as DHA source in Nile tilapia diet, part I: Growth performance and body composition

This study evaluated the inclusion of Aurantiochytrium sp. (ALL-G-RICH™), a source of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n-3, DHA), in the diet of Nile tilapia and its effect on growth performance indexes and body composition. Fish (initial mean weight 8.35 ± 0.80 g) were fed different dietary inclusion levels of ALL-G-RICH™: 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.40 g/kg and a control diet using cod liver oil (CLO), to provide DHA content comparable to the...
