Abstract

A 127-day feeding trial was conducted to assess the impact of fish meal replacement with garden snail (Limicolaria flammea) meal on whole body biochemical composition in juvenile Heterobranchus bidorsalis. A total of 150 juveniles of average weight of 7.0 g were stocked in 1m3 plastic tanks (5 treatments, three replicates), and were fed the diets at 5% body weight and designated as D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5 graded levels of garden snail meal (GSM) included at 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% inclusions levels. The whole body carcass composition of Heterobranchus bidorsalis juveniles at the onset of the study were 11.34, 56.43, 14.68, 11.12 and 6.43% for moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, ash and nitrogen-free extract (NFE), respectively. The whole body crude protein content of fish fed on 25% GSM (D2) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than fish fed D1, D3, D4, while D1 and D5 had no significant difference (P>0.05). The crude lipid content ranged between 7.06 and 14.68%. Furthermore, garden snail meal had significant (P>0.05) effect on fish whole body ash and NFE content. Similarly, GSM significantly affected amino acid profile of fish; fish fed 25% GSM inclusion level had the highest total amino acid composition (95.05%) while the fish fed 100%GSM showed lowest amino acid composition. Conclusively, garden snail meal at 25% inclusion level significantly improved whole body crude protein content and total amino acid composition of juvenile Heterobranchus bidorsalis.
