The aim is to evaluate how different doses of vitamin E affect the maturation of freshwater crayfish.
Utilized a Randomized Block Design with 4 treatments and 3 replications.
Applied treatments with various vitamin E doses: control, 150 mg/kg, 300 mg/kg, and 450 mg/kg feed.
Observed parameters included gonad maturity index, fecundity, and egg diameter.
Increasing vitamin E dosage led to significant changes in maturation parameters.
Control treatment (no vitamin E) showed no signs of maturity with all parameters at 0.
The optimal treatment (450 mg/kg of feed) demonstrated the highest reproductive performance.
