Dietary Potassium Diformate Improves Growth Performance Of Male Nile Tilapia

摘要

Some of the more promising alternatives to antibiotics for the treatment of tilapia are found in the group of organic acids and their salts. In a study, the authors evaluated the effects of feed supplementation with formic acid in the form of potassium diformate on the production of Nile tilapia. Juvenile tilapia that ate feed with 0.3% KDF had better final weights, growth rates and feed conversion than fish fed a control diet.
