Replacing fish meal with soybean meal accelerates growth in catfish.
The researchers studied the use of hydrolyzed soybean meal in feeding Clarias gariepinus fish to improve feed efficiency in aquaculture. By replacing up to 20% of fish meal with hydrolyzed soybean meal, they found that the fish showed higher growth rates without changing protein deposition in their bodies. This substitution can help reduce production costs while maintaining growth and product quality in aquaculture.
