Abstract

In order to study the feasibility of replacement of fish meal with degossypolled cottonseed protein in low fish meal diets for tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), three isonitrogenous and isoenergetic experimental diets were formulated by replacing 0, 50% and 100% fish meal with degossypolled cottonseed protein on basis of a practical diet (fish meal content was 6.0% and crude protein content in fish meal was 64.5%), respectively. A total of 270 male genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) with an average body weight of 50 g were randomly divided into 3 groups with 3 replicates per group and 30 fish per replicate, and the fish in the control group were fed the experimental diet containing 0 degossypolled cottonseed protein. The experiment lasted for 8 weeks. The results showed as follows: the final weight of tilapia in the 50% replacement level group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the 50% replacement level group and 100% replacement level group (P>0.05). No significant differences were found in special growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, feed efficiency and feeding rate of tilapia among all groups (P>0.05). With increasing replacement level of degossypolled cottonseed protein, the viscerosomatic index of tilapia was significantly increased (P<0.05), but no significant differences were found in hepaticsomatic index, condition factor and contents of dry matter, crude protein, crude lipid and ash of whole fish (P>0.05). The replacement level of degossypolled cottonseed protein could significantly affect the hepatopancreas digestive enzyme activities of tilapia (P<0.05), and the highest values of trypsinase and amylase activities were found in the 50% replacement level group and 100% replacement level group, respectively. With increasing replacement level of degossypolled cottonseed protein, the total antioxidant capacity, activities of superoxide dismutase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxaolacetic transaminase, and liver glycogen content in hepatopancreas of tilapia were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the malondialdehyde content was significantly decreased (P<0.05). In conclusion, the suitable replacement levels of fish meal with degossypolled cottonseed protein are not more than 50% in the tilapia low fish meal diets, and higher replacement levels can induce negative influences on immune response of tilapia.
