Feed Resources, Formulation, Feeding Practice and Growth Performance of Nile Tilapia in Ethiopia

The objective of this review was too delivered well organized fish feed resources and feeding practice in Ethiopian. Protein content of plant and animals are varied., Common animal origin fish feed sources were (Bone &blood meal 52.48% and fish meal 60.57 %, Research finding showed that highest and lowest daily growth rate were 0.88 and 0.15g respectively. maximum Tilapia daily growth rat reported (1.3 to 1.6g)), which is better than Ethiopian research works. Conclusion. There are three types of fish feeding practice in Ethiopia (commercial feed, on farm formulated feed and (ingredients as powder The most affordable and cost-effective fish feed was on farm formulated feed. Ethiopia is rich fish feed resources but not efficiently utilize the resources properly. Plants were the highest dominate in fish feeding practice compare to animal products. On farm fish feed formulation and feeding practice is not well grew due to this reason aquaculture is found infant stage compare to East Africa countries. Growth performance of Nile Tilapia was very low Ethiopia in six to ten months and body weight of Tilapia reported below (180 g). Recommendation- To boosting aquaculture in Ethiopia advanced seed multiplication center will be established and fish feed processing plants will be developed. On farm feed processing and formulation practice will be given training for fish farmers and experts.
