Finishing Diets Strike Balance Between Feeding Costs, Tilapia Fillet Quality
In a study, tilapia were fed fish oil or vegetable oil based diets for five months, then switched to a fish oil finishing diet for three months. Results showed growth and feeding efficiencies were not significantly compromised, writes Nicholas Romano...
