Résumé

Lack of suitable formulated diets for O. niloticus production in   Ethiopia   has   resulted   in   low   development   of   aquaculture production.  To   address  this  problem,  two   isonitrogenous  (29% protein)   diets   were    formulated   and    evaluated   for   the   growth performance of O. niloticus in unfertilized concrete ponds. One formulated diet contained vitamin and  mineral premix while the other had no premix. There  were significant differences in growth rates and feed conversion ratios between the  two formulated diets. Fish which fed on feed with premix grew faster (p < 0.05) than  the fish which fed on   feed   with   no   premix.   The    reason  for   the    better    growth performance of fish which fed on feed with premix can  be  explained by better  metabolic activities, better  health and  a  balanced diet as compared to the fish which fed on feed with no premix.
