Abstract

Growth response of substituting soya bean meal with yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisae) meal in diets fed Clarias gariepinus was studied for 56 days. One hundred and fifty (150) fingerlings of two weeks old Clarias gariepinus in five treatment groups replicated thrice were used for the research. Each replicate had ten fishes. T₁, 0% SBM and YM served as control diet while T₂, 25%; T₃, 50%; T₄, 75% and T₅ 100% YM are the other diets respectively. Parameters used were weight gain, feed conversion ratio and specific growth rate. The results showed slightly increase in growth response of Clarias gariepinus fed soya bean meal with yeast meal. Clarias gariepinus fed with 100% yeast meal (T₅, diet 4) had good performance. Increasing proportion of substitutions of yeast meal in diets fed Clarias gariepinus fingerlings, led to weight increase in all dietary types with exception of diet 0 (T₁) and higher growth induction in cat fishes  fed diets with exception of diet 0 (control). Diet 4 induced better mean growth than the control diet.
