Table 4 Effects of Vital Wheat Gluten (VWG) or other Plant Protein (PP) sources on growth performance of different fish species
Species | Duration, d. | Tested Protein1 | Protein, %CP2 | %CP in diet | Lys. Supp. (% diet) | iBW3(g) | Main results | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nile tilapia | 49 | FM | 88 | 32.5 | No | 56.4 | Highest feed efficiency and growth for FM, VWG, and SBE. No significant modifications in body composition for dry matter, protein, fat, P, and energy. Highest ash body content for DWD, SCP, and FM. | [40] |
VWG | 32.8 | 34.7 | No | 55.6 | ||||
SBM | 23.9 | 30.5 | No | 55.6 | ||||
SBE | 34.2 | 35.7 | No | 54.3 | ||||
DW | 18.5 | 27.5 | No | 60.2 | ||||
SCP | 20.9 | 29.1 | No | 54.8 | ||||
Sea bream | 85 | FM | 95 | 44.8 | No | 41.6 | Better weight gain with VWG, before FM and before SPC and CGM. Same productive protein value and higher energy retention value with VWG as with FM. | [39] |
VWG | 88 | 45.1 | 2.10 | 41.2 | ||||
SPC | 98 | 43.9 | No | 41.7 | ||||
CGM | 88 | 45.8 | 2.10 | 39.2 |
