| The present research conducted within 8 weeks, aimed at examining the impacts of white worm (Enchytaerus albidus) on the growth function of Goldfish fry (Carassius auratus). Therefore, the effects of mixed experimental diet A (30% white worm/ 70% dry feed) and the control diet B (100% dry feed) on Goldfish fries (150±2.21mg) were determined in two treatments and three replicates. At the end of feeding phase, weight gain percentage (%), daily growth (%), daily weight gain (mg), FCR, protein efficiency (g) and SGR (%) were calculated in both groups. The results revealed that all growth related indices in the fries fed with mixed diets stood higher than those of in the control .(P≤0.05). The study also showed that the inclusion of white worm (Enchytaerus albidus) in the diet of Goldfish fries improved their weight gain. |
