Growth and Feed Digestibility of Sangkuriang Catfish with Corn Gluten Meal-Based Feeding

Abstract

Abstract Diet testing was conducted for 50 days to investigate the growth and feed digestibility of Sangkuriang catfish with corn gluten meal (CGM)-based feeding. This involved 5 treatments with different levels of CGM in the feed 0, 75, 150, 225, and 300 g.kg−1 for three replications. The result showed that the value of SGR ranged from 0.87 to 1.51 %.day−1, the SGR values with CGM at 0, 75 and 150 g.kg−1 were significantly higher than the values in CGM 225 and 300 g.kg−1. The best value of protein and lipid digestibility were recorded with CGM at 0, 75 and 150 g.kg−1 compared to CGM at 225 and 300 g/kg. A greater propensity for higher CGM levels to negatively impact on growth and feed digestibility of Sangkuriang catfish. Therefore, CGM is confirmed to process the potential for application at a level of 150 g.kg−1 in the Sakuriang catfish diet without negatively influencing growth and feed digestibility.
