Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the growth performance of catfish fingerlings fed silage from fish waste, replacing soybean meal and sugar cane yeast. During 35 days, 375 silver catfish fingerlings with 1.73±0.17 g initial weight, distributed in a completely randomized design, were evaluated in five treatments and four replicates. The treatments consisted of fish silage inclusion at 0, 12.5, 25, 37.5, and 50%. All the evaluated parameters, except the condition factor, showed that the replacing of soybean meal and yeast for fish waste silage improves the yield performance of silver catfish fingerlings.
