Effects of Supplementation of Fermented Chara corallina in Feed on Growth Performance, Haemocytes and Coloration of Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man 1879)
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study was conducted in order to evaluate effects of fermented Chara corallina (FCC) at different levels on growth performance, feed utilization, total haemocytes and color of the cooked prawn, Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man 1879). A completely randomized design (CRD) was employed to five experimental diets, with supplementing FCC at 0 (control), 5, 10, 15 and 20%. The experiment was conducted in plastic containers (200 L) filling with 100 L of water. The prawn initial weight was 0.69-0.73 g. The stocking density was 15 prawn per replication.The prawn were fed three times per day to apparent satiations. The experimental period was 12 weeks. The results showed that weight gain, average dialy weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency, survival rate and total haemocytes were not statistically significant among the treatments and control group (p>0.05), but the color of cooked prawn were significant differences (p<0.05). The highest of red hue (a*) and yellow hue (b*) were found in the prawn fed by diet of 20% FCC supplementation, which were 5.64±3.42 and 18.63±3.27, respectively.It could be concluded that, the supplementation of FCC in prawn diet at 5-20% had no significant effects on growth, survival and total haemocytes. However, by adding 20% of FCC could enhance the red and yellow coloration of the cooked prawn.
