Catfish

This study determined the optimum protein and digestible energy levels for Clarias gariepinus fingerlings fed local feed. Sixteen diets of four digestible energy (DE) level (2400, 2600, 2800 and 3000 Kcal/Kg) each at four crude proteins (CP) levels (25, 30, 35 and 40%) were formulated and fed to the fingerlings for 70days. The result showed that the highest final weight of fish (34.24g) was obtained in the 35 %CP (DE of 2400 kcal/kg).

This breeding experiment is divided into three trial groups. The first trial group consist of 2 males and 3 females Clarias gariepinus which were injected with a calculated amount of synthetic hormone (Human chronic Gonadotropin) according to their measured weight. In the second trial group, there are also 2 females and 3 females C. gariepinus which were injected with a calculated amount of natural hormone (Pituitary extract). The third trial group consist of 2 males and 3 females C. gariepinus which were not injected with anything and therefore serves as control.
