Dietary lipid level and growth hormone alter growth and body conformation of blue tilapia, Oreochromis aureus

Tilapia ( n=12 per treatment in duplicate) were subjected to two different dietary levels of lipid (∼8% and 17%) and injected doses of recombinant bovine growth hormone (2.5 and 5.0 μg rbGH g −1 body weight week −1). The effects of these treatments were examined with respect to their impact upon gro...

Zusammenfassung:Tilapia ( n=12 per treatment in duplicate) were subjected to two different dietary levels of lipid (∼8% and 17%) and injected doses of recombinant bovine growth hormone (2.5 and 5.0 μg rbGH g −1 body weight week −1). The effects of these treatments were examined with respect to their impact upon growth and body shape. Tilapia fed high-lipid diets expressed increased weight and length gains ( P
