- Abstract
The article analyzes the effects of substituting distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) for more expensive feed on cultured Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.). Feed is the major expense in fish farming and protein is its most costly part. The yeasts in the distillers dried grains provide critical lysine. The article presents comparative weight gains vs. feed intake and fish survival rates for feeds containing differing DDGS percentages, with and without supplemental lysine, and finds no immunological side-effects of the DDGS feeding.
