Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of Aquamin® mineral mixture (AQMM) and Agrimin® mineral mixture (AGMM) supplemented diets on growth and chemical composition of juvenile freshwater prawn Macrobrachium malcolmsonii (H. Milne-Edwards, 1844). Experimental diets containing 6 different AQMM levels (Trial 1: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5%) and 6 different AGMM levels (Trial 2: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5%) were formulated to feed juvenile prawn [initial body weight of 0.82 ± 0.05 g (Trial 1) and 1.24 ± 0.03 g (Trial 2)] for 60 days. Prawn fed diets containing 1.0% of AQMM and AGMM showed significantly increased (P < 0.05) survival rate, weight gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, edible flesh weight, and proximate composition (moisture, crude protein, crude fat, and ash), while feed intake and feed conversion ratio were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Whereas, 1.5-2.5% of AQMM- and AGMM-supplemented diets fed prawn showed a reverse trend when comparing other groups. Moreover, the minerals (macro elements: Ca, P, Mg, Na, and K; trace elements: Cu, Zn, and Fe) were significantly increased (P < 0.05) in the carcass of prawn when fed with 2.5% AQMM- and AGMM-supplemented diets. The present results suggest that the optimal dietary supplementation of AQMM and AGMM at a concentration of up to 1.06 and 1.02%, respectively (based on polynomial regression analysis), improved growth and enhanced the crude protein level of juvenile prawn.
