ABSTRACT
The researchers tested the effect of different proportions of commercial and cassava feeds on the growth of tilapia fingerlings after 30 days of culture. Seventy-five tilapia fingerlings were subjected to different proportions of cassava and commercial feeds namely; Proportion A, 100% cassava; Proportion B, 75% cassava and 25% commercial; Proportion C, 50% cassava and 50% commercial; Proportion D, 25% cassava and 75% commercial; Proportion E, 100% commercial, and a control group. Mean weights, lengths and widths were measured before and after 30 days of culture.
The one-way ANOVA test with probability of 0.05 was used to test if the difference in weight, length, and width is significant. It was found out that there is no significant difference in the weight, length and width gain of the tilapia fingerlings give the different diets after one month of culture.
