Utilization of Processed Plantain Peel in the Diet Nile Tilapia(Oreochromis niloticus)by S.O. Obasa (Project Leader), George F.O.A., Alegbeleye, W.O., Omemu, A.M. and Idowu, A.A.

INTRODUCTION • NEED FOR COST EFFICIENT FEED IN FISH PRODUCTION • THE ISSUE OF MAIZE BEING THE MAJOR SOURCE METABOLIZABLE ENERGY IN FISH DIET. • PLANTAIN PEEL AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR MAIZE

OBJECTIVES Effects of: • different processing methods on the nutritional value of plantain peel. • Varying levels of processed plantain peel on growth performance and nutrient utilization of the Nile tilapia O. Niloticus. • Varying levels of processed plantain peel on nutrient digestibility of the Nile tilapia O. niloticus • Varying levels of processed plantain peel in the diets of O. niloticus on the blood parameters and the hepatosomatic index.

MATERIALS AND METHODS DETERMINATION OF THE NUTRITIONAL VALUES OF PROCESSED PLANTAIN PEELS • COLLECTION OF RIPE AND UNRIPE PLANTAIN PEELS • PROCESSING OF BOTH RIPE AND UNRIPE PLANTAIN PEELS • ANALYSIS FOR PROXIMATE COMPOSITION, MINERALS, ANTINUTRITIONAL COMPONENTS AND THE AMINO ACID PROFILE OF ALL THE PROCESSED FORMS

REPLACEMENT OF MAIZE WITH PROCESSED PLANTAIN PEEL MEALS THESE ARE SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS IN WHICH DIFFERENTLY PROCESSED PLANTAIN PEEL MEALS WILL BE INCOPORATED AT VARIOUS LEVELS OF REPLACEMENT OF MAIZE IN THE DIET OF NILE TILAPIA • THE EFFECT OF DIET ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE, NUTRIENT UTILIZATION, DIGESTIBILITY AND BLOOD PARAMETERS ARE BEING TESTED IN THIS EXPT.

THE RESULT S WILL BE ANALYSED STATISTICALLY USING ANOVA, CORRELATION ANALYSIS AND DMRT TO TEST THE LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE AMONG TREATMENTS

RESULT SO FAR

FERMENTED UNRIPE PLANTAIN PEEL MEAL

SOAKED RIPE PLANTAIN PEEL MEAL
