Effect of normal ration level on growth and body composition of juvenile Pangasianodon hypophthalmus

Abstract

After 60 days of the normal ration period, there was significant difference in length gain, weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion efficiency, protein efficiency ratio, lipid efficiency ratio, feed intake, and voluntary feed intake of juvenile P. hypophthalmus. It also found that higher weight gain and specific growth rate after refeeding at normal ration was lower in the fish that had higher ration level. This indicate that the compensatory growth response in P. hypophthalmus.
