Effect of Bambara Seed (Vigna subterranea) Meal on Growth Performance, Physiology and Histology of Clarias gariepinus Juveniles
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing roasted Bambara bean with soybean in the catfish diet. One hundred and sixty-eight Clarias gariepinus juveniles (8.69±0.28 g) were allocated to four treatments in replicates. Experimental diets were formulated at 40% crude protein with three inclusion levels of Bambara meal diet BMD (15%, 30% and 45%), respectively, and a soybean control diet, fed twice daily at 3 % body weight for 8 weeks, in a completely randomized experiment.
