Protein nutrition of farmed tilapia: searching for unconventional
sources
Abdel-Fattah M. El-Sayed
Oceanography Department, Faculty of Science,University of Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt
Tilapia culture• Rank third in the world, in terms of
production, after carps and Salmonids.• One of the fastest growing farming
activities, annual growth rate of 13.4% during 1970�2002.
• Practiced in about 100 countries.• The production increased from 383,654 mt
in 1990 to 1,505,804 mt in 2002• 6% of total farmed finfish production in
2002.
• Nutrition: > 50% of operating costs. • Protein represents 50% of feed cost.• The selection of proper quantity and quality of
dietary protein is a must• Tilapia:
- herbivorous / omnivorous - low on the food chain- Produce high quality protein from low quality
food• The challenge• Develop commercial, cost effective tilapia feeds
using locally available, cheap and unconventionalresources.
Protein requirements
Extensively studiedResults are varying, sometimes contradictory !!
Why?• Indoor studies• Short- term (4-8 weeks)• Sometimes imbalanced diets (Casein vs
casein/gelatin)• Ignored cost/benefit analysis

Improving protein qualityPhytase supplementation• Many plant protein sources contain high levels of phytic
acid. • phytic acid binds with divalent minerals forming water-
insoluble salts. • The inclusion of bacterial phytase:
1. reduces phytic acid activity2. improves the utilization of plant protein sources.3. reduces the effect of antinutritional factors.4. protects amino acids from degradation.5. decreases leaching of water soluble components.
Protein digestibility• Problems:• interchangeable and inconsistent use of
terminology.• use of ME and DE values interchangeably• use varying energy values for the same
ingredient under the same terminology. • Use of energy values reported for other
fish species

Conclusions
• Studies should be long enough!!, 2-3 months?• Applied in the field, if possible• Use GE, if DE is not available• Supplementation of certain minerals may meet
the requirement of deficient EAA • EAA supplementation may not be necessary• More work needed (case by case..)• Supplementing plant proteins with Phytase may
be necessary
