Abstract

A 60-day feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing wheat flour with cassava meal on the growth performance, muscle composition and hepatopancreas health of Channa argus. Five isonitrogenous (contained 40% crude protein) diets were formulated to contain 0, 6%, 12%, 18% and 24% cassava meal repalacing 0 (control), 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% wheat flour on the basis of basal diet (contained 24% wheat flour), respectively. A total of 400 Channa argus with the initial average body weight of (50.0±0.5) g were randomly allocated to 5 groups with 4 replicates per group and 20 fish per replicate, and the fish in the 5 groups were randomly fed one of five diets. The results of showed as follows:the weight gain rate (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR) were showed a descending trend with the replacing ratio increasing, while the feed conversion ratio (FCR) showed a rising tendency. The highest values of WGR and SGR were observed in the control group, and they were significantly higher than those in the 75% and 100% replacing groups (P<0.05); the lowest value of FCR was observed in the control group, and it was significantly lower than that in the 100% replacing groups (P<0.05). No significant differences in protein efficiency ratio (PER) and the contents of crude protein, crude lipid and ash in muscle were noticed among all groups (P>0.05). No significant difference in serum total cholesterol (TC) and glucose (Glu) contents were observed among all groups (P<0.05), however, the serum triacylglycerol (TG) content in control group was significantly lower than that in other groups (P<0.05). The hepatosmatic index was gradually increased with the replacing ratio increasing, but no significant difference was observed among all groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the liver glycogen content in the 50% and 75% replacing groups was significantly increased (P<0.05), while the that in the 100% replacing group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Serum glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (GOT) activity was gradually increaced with the replacing ratio increasing, and it in control group was significantly lower than that in 100% replacing group (P>0.05). However, no significantly difference in serum glutamic-pyruvic transamine (GPT) activity was noticed among all groups (P>0.05). The results show that it is feasible to replace 50% wheat flour with cassava meal (cassava meal supplemental level is 12%) in Channa argus diets without negative effects on growth performance and hepatopancreas health. Meanwhile, replacing ratio (≥75%) may lead to a negative effect on hepatopancreas health and stunt the growth of Channa argus.
