Abstract
A digestibility study was conducted to investigate the effect of incorporating different levels of herring meal into test diets on apparent protein digestibility. Herring meal was incorporated at levels of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% to 90, 80, 70, 60, and 50% of a reference diet, respectively. The reference and test diets were fed to the fish to apparent satiation three times daily on weekdays and twice daily on weekends. The fish were acclimated to the experimental diets for one week and fecal collections were made for three weeks. Feces collected in the same bottle from each tank for five days a week were used as one replication for the treatment. Protein digestibility of the reference diet was 94.8%. The increase in incorporation level of herring meal from 10-50% into the test diet had no significant effect on protein digestibility of the feed ingredient, which remained constant at an average of 93.7%
