DEVELOPMENT AND BODY COMPOSITION OF SOUTH AMERICAN CATFISH (Rhamdia quelen) FINGERLINGS FED WITH DIFFERENTS LIPID DIETARY SOURCES

Three sources of lipids, canola oil (T1), cod liver oil (T2), and swine fat (T3), were tested in experimental rations for juveniles of jundia (Rhamdia quelen), representing 5% of their diet. A completely randomized design with three treatments (T) and three repetitions was used. The performance and the carcass yield were not affected by the three lipids. The lipids sources influenced the protein (high value on T1) and fat (high value on T3) deposition in the carcass.
