Abstract

Response in the growth of Oreochromis niloticus juveniles fed with two types of diet: Experimental at 28% protein (based on banana peel and soy), vs. Commercial at 28%. To determine which treatment obtained the highest growth, physical-chemical factors (Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature and pH) and population parameters (Accumulated Growth, Survival and Feed Conversion Factor) were taken. Collecting these data for 25 days where the Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus had an initial weight of 7.9 gr in both treatments. According to the results obtained in the experiment, the treatment with commercial feed at 28% protein acquired a final growth of 13.1 g, obtaining an average of 10.5 g, instead the treatment with experimental feed at 28% protein based on banana peel flour. and soybeans acquired a final weight of 10.2 gr, obtaining an average of 8.97 gr. The commercial treatment at 28% protein gained more size and biomass because they assimilated the food in a greater way and in less time, in contrast to the treatment with experimental food at 28% protein based on banana and soybean peel flour. gained little biomass and less size since they took time to assimilate and get used to the food that was put to experimental, when applying the statistical analysis it was found that p> 0.05 that the growth of the Tilapias Oreochromis niloticus there is a significant difference because between treatments There is a big difference between the weights.
