Abstract

Fingerling yellowtail, Seriora quinqueradiata, were fed for 50 days in a 0.8t aquarium on moist pellet diets containing 0-15% commercial poultry feather meal (PFM) as a partial substitute for fish meal. The results showed that dietary inclusion of PFM tended to decrease the growth and feed conversion as its level increased. The inclusion of 15% PFM markedly lowered these values as well as the hematological characteristics and protein retention rate, mainly due to its poor digestibility. However, dietary inclusion of less than 10% resulted in a comparable growth rate, feed efficiency, nutrient digestibility and hematological characteristics to a PFM-free control diet. These results indicated that PFM is a potential alternative protein source with low carbohydrate contents, and that commercial PFM can substitute for fish meal up to 10% of the diet for fingerling yellowtail without any adverse effects.
