    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Hedvig Gustavsson; [2016]
    Keywords : Nile tilapia; Oreochromis niloticus; growth performance; alternative protein sources;

    Abstract : Growth performance of male-fish Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed with locally available protein sources was evaluated in an attempt to find alternative ingredients to replace fish meal (FM) in an experimental set up at the An Giang University in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. In the four experimental diets, 100 % of the FM was replaced with protein from golden apple snail meal (GAS), pangasius by-product meal (PBM), shrimp head meal (SHM) and blood meal (BM), respectively.

  3. 2. Åkerböna till slaktkyckling - effekt av enzymtillsats

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Ida Elgåsen; [2015]
    Keywords : slaktkyckling; åkerböna; enzymtillsats; proteas; amylas; ANS; broiler; faba bean; feed enzyme; protease; amylase;

    Abstract : I Sverige är soja det vanligaste proteinfodermedlet inom fjäderfäproduktionen. Att utfodra med inhemska proteinfodermedel istället för soja kan göra slaktkycklingsproduktionen mer hållbar. I Sverige är åkerbönan ett alternativ att ersätta sojan med då den är rik på råprotein och skördarna i landet har ökat de senaste åren. READ MORE
