Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate pearl millet inclusion in diets of Nile tilapia during sex reversion, on final parameters of weight, length, survival, and effectiveness of sex reversion. One thousand and two hundred Nile tilapia larvae were distributed in twenty four hapas, which were installed in four 1,000L tanks. The experimental design was in completely randomized blocks with six treatments and four replicates. Six different experimental diets were formulated with different levels of pearl millet (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10%), contain 38.6% of digestible protein and 3,800 kcal/kg of digestible energy. The final weight of Nile tilapia showed a linear (P>0.01) growth proportional to pearl millet increase, but none of the others showed significant difference (P<0.05) between treatments. The pearl millet can be included up to 10% of Nile tilapia diet during sex reversion.
