- Abstract
This study was conducted with the objective of evaluating the combination of different ratios of soluble and insoluble linseed fibre for silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen). For this, the soluble and insoluble fractions were concentrated separately and combined in four ratios (1:0.5, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4), which were added to silver catfish diets and evaluated in a bioassay. After 45 days of receiving the experimental diets, the animals were submitted to biometry to collect data and tissues. The experimental design was completely randomized, with five treatments and four replications and the means were compared by Tukey's test (p <.05). Diets 1:2 and 1:4 provided higher weight gain, specific growth rate and crude protein deposition to the fish, whereas only the 1:4 diet reflected higher crude body protein. The 1:0.5 diet altered the trypsin activity in the intestine, and, together with the 1:4 diet, it provided a higher intestinal villi height. Body yield, somatic and digestive parameters, chymotrypsin activity and glucose, glycogen and liver protein were not altered, regardless of the experimental diets. In conclusion, the results indicate that linseed fibre acts effectively as a growth promoter in silver catfish diets, with the use of 1:2 and 1:4 ratios optimizing its prebiotic action.
