Abstract

This experiment was conducted to estimate the effects of dietary vitamin B6 content on growth performance, whole body and muscle nutritional composition, serum and liver biochemical indices of genetic improvement of farmed tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus), and to determine the dietary vitamin B6 requirement of GIFT. A total of 360 GIFT with the average initial body weight of (56.3±1.8) g were randomly divided into 6 groups with 3 replicates per group and 20 fish per replicate. The fish were fed six purified diets which containing 0.3 (control group), 2.7, 5.4, 10.1, 20.5 and 39.8 mg/kg vitamin B6, respectively. The experiment lasted for 10 weeks. The results showed as follow:1) with the increased of dietary vitamin B6 content (0.3 to 10.1 mg/kg), the weight gain rate of GIFT was significantly increased (P<0.05), and then reached a plateau when dietary vitamin B6 content reached 10.1 mg/kg. The feed conversion ratio of GIFT in 5.4, 10.1, 20.5 and 39.8 mg/kg groups were significantly lower than those in control group and 2.7 mg/kg group (P<0.05). The hepatosomatic index in 5.4 and 20.5 mg/kg groups was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). 2) The contents of crude protein and ash in whole body in 2.7, 5.4, 10.1, 20.5 and 39.8 mg/kg groups were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The 10.1 mg/kg group got the lowest crude lipid content, and was significantly lower than that in control group and 2.7, 5.4 and 39.8 mg/kg groups (P<0.05). The muscle crude protein content in 5.4,10.1 and 20.5 mg/kg groups was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). 3) There were no significant effects on serum glucose, total protein contents and liver aspartate aminotransferase activity among all groups (P>0.05). The serum alkaline phosphatase activity in 20.5 and 39.8 mg/kg groups was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05), the serum urea nitrogen content in 10.1 and 39.8 mg/kg groups was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05), the liver alanine aminotransferase activity in 10.1, 20.5 and 39.8 mg/kg groups was significantly higher than that in control group and 2.7, 5.4 mg/kg groups (P<0.05). In summary, the broken-line regression analysis shows that using weight rate and liver alanine aminotransferase activity as response criteria, the optimal requirements of dietary vitamin B6 for GIFT[initial body weight (56.3±1.8) g] are 9.22 and 10.11 mg/kg, respectively.
