"The 2010 RUFORUM Biennial Conference was the second in the series. The main objective of the Biennial conferences is to provide a platform for agricultural research for development stakeholders in Africa and beyond to actively exchange findings and experiences, while at the same time learning lessons towards improving performance of the agricultural sector and ultimately people’s livelihoods. The biennial conference is RUFORUM’s most comprehensive meeting for the diversity of stakeholers in agriculture. It is especially dedicated to graduate students and their supervisors, grantees in RUFORUM member universities and alumni. It is a platform for peer review, quality control, mentorship, networking and shared learning. This record contains an extended abstract accepted under the theme soil science and water management".
Effect of dietary protein, lipid and androgen (11 - ketotestosterone) levels on the progeny of Oreochromis andersonii (castelnau, 1861) broodstock
Abstract:
The study on the effect of dietary protein, lipid and 11 –
Ketotestosterone (11 – KT) levels on the progeny quality of
Oreochromis andersonii broodstock will be conducted at
National Aquaculture Research and Development Centre, Kitwe,
Zambia. Factorial experiments will be set in order to investigate
the effect of lipid (5%, 10% and 15%) and protein (20%, 30%,
and 40%) from soybeans on the reproduction of O. andersonii.
Furthermore, effect of 11 – KT (30, 60 and 90mg/kg of feed)
will be investigated on progeny quality, sex ratios and hormone
degradation. Optimal lipid, protein and 11 – KT levels that can
be incorporated into the broodstock and fry diets of O.
andersonii will be known by the end of the study.
L’étude sur l’effet des niveaux des protéines, des lipides et de
11 - Ketotestostérone (11 - KT) alimentaires sur la qualité de la
descendance des géniteurs Oreochromis andersonii sera
effectuée au centre national de développement et de la recherche
en aquaculture, à Kitwe, en Zambie. Les tests factoriels seront
établis afin d’étudier l’effet des lipides (5%, 10% et 15%) et des
protéines (20%, 30% et 40%) de graines de soja sur la
reproduction de O. andersonii. En outre, l’effet de 11 - KT
(30, 60 et 90 mg / kg d’aliment) sera étudié sur la qualité de la
descendance, les rapports de sexe et de la dégradation hormonale.
Les niveaux optimaux des lipides, de protéines et de 11 - KT
qui peuvent être incorporés dans les géniteurs et les régimes
alimentaires des alevins de O. andersonii seront connus d’ici la
fin de l’étude.
