| Abstract | ||
| The study was conducted from April to June 2024 at the Application and Research Farm and the Ichthyology and Applied Hydrobiology Laboratory of the Faculty of Agronomy and Agricultural Sciences, University of Dschang. The main objective was to promote the use of local vegetable oils in the diet of Clarias gariepinus. For this purpose, 180 fry weighing 7.3 ± 0.45 g were divided into three treatments group, each repeated three times, corresponding to rations containing 4% refined palm oil, soybean oil and peanut oil. The results showed that, other growth parameters were significantly influenced by the type of the oil used, except for specific growth rate, total length, length gain, and condition factor (K) (P< 0.05). The highest weight gain (22.98 ± 0.26 g), average daily gain (0.365 ± 0.003 g) and live weight (30.40 ± 0.20 g) were significantly recorded with the ration containing soybean oil (P< 0.05). The chemical composition of the flesh did not vary significantly (P> 0.05) between the rations. However, the highest ash (15.01 ± 0.56 %), crude protein (51.70 ±1.64%), and dry matter (95.03 ± 0.54%) contents were obtained in fish fed with the ration containing soybean oil. In conclusion, soybean oil ration is the one that generally produced the best performance. | ||
