Abstract |
Imported fishmeal and soybean meal were used as nitrogen sources of different protein levels to investigate the impact on growth on a total of 80 juvenile Mauremys mutica. Feedstuff was prepared with four protein contents of 50.2%, 47.3%, 44.3% and 41.4 % according to the principle of univariate factor gradient. After breeding for 120 days, the results showed that the growth rate of M. mutica fed with 47.3% protein content was markedly higher than those in the three other experimental groups, and differed significantly (P<0.05). The protein conversion rate was the most efficient and was significantly different from the 50.2% (P<0.01), 44.3% (P<0.05) and 41.4% (P<0.05) protein content groups; otherwise, the ratio of feed conversion and weight gain in the 47.3% protein content group was minimal, had very significant differences with the 44.3% and 50.2% protein content groups (P<0.01) as well as the 41.4% protein content group (P<0.05). However, protein content had no significant difference among M. mutica fed with feedstuff at different protein levels.
