Proximate carcas composition with different CaHPO4 and body conformation of Red Tilapia

Abstract

Carcass composition of traits such as protein, ash, moisture, amino acids and minerals in red tilapia was investigated. All diets were formulated at 29% of crude protein 0.5% of calcium-phosphate and energy: protein ration 150:5 for diet C1, 30% of crude protein, 1.0% of calcium-phosphate and energy: protein ration 151:7 for diet C2, and 31% of crude protein, 1.5% of calcium-phosphate and energy: protein ration 151:5 for diet C3. The body weight of tilapia species is 169.38g (±4.32). 60 of fish and three replicates were used for this study to the analysis of carcass composition. The other carcass parts of body fish as muscle, bone, scale, and gill was found to be significant (p<0.01). The mean of carcass composition of three levels of calcium-phosphate as muscle, bone, scale, and gill were found to be higher in level diet C2 compared to diet C1 and C3 was found no significant differences.
