Dietary zinc requirement of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) based on growth and mineralization

A growth trial was conducted to estimate the optimum requirement of dietary zinc (Zn) for grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Triplicate groups of grass carp (3.97 ± 0.05 g) were fed diets containing graded levels (13, 25, 34, 53, 89 and 135 mg kg−1) of Zn for 8 weeks. Grass carp fed with dietary...

Zusammenfassung:A growth trial was conducted to estimate the optimum requirement of dietary zinc (Zn) for grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Triplicate groups of grass carp (3.97 ± 0.05 g) were fed diets containing graded levels (13, 25, 34, 53, 89 and 135 mg kg−1) of Zn for 8 weeks. Grass carp fed with dietary Zn levels higher than 34 mg kg−1 significantly increased final body weight, weight gain and specific growth rate (P
