Inclusion of triticale in meals for piavuçu fry <em>Leporinus macrocephalus</em> (Garavello & Britski, 1988)
Abstract
An evaluation of triticale in meals for piavuçu fry Leporinus macrocephalus (Characiformes, Anostomidae) is provided. Two hundred and forty fry, initial mean weight 1.70±0.03g, were distributed in randomized blocks with six treatments and five repetitions in 30 120L-compartamentized ponds in five amianthus 1000L-tanks, with eight fishes in each pond. Six inclusion levels of triticale were used in meals: 0.00; 5.14; 10.29; 15.43; 20.58 and 25.72%. Inclusion levels had no influence (p > 0.05) on mean final weight, mean weight gain, apparent food conversion, protein efficiency rate, survival and economic viability (costs/gained kg). Physical and chemical parameters were kept within limits recommended for species. Triticale may therefore represent 25.72% of meal without any impairment in fish development. Nevertheless, its use will depend on availability and market price.Downloads
