Abstract
The nutritive value of four leguminous plant seeds: pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan), mungo (Phaseolus radiatus), kidneybean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and soybean (Glycine max), were evaluated as protein sources for milkfish (Chanos chanos) juveniles in isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets containing 40% protein. The legumes were heat-treated and added at different levels so that their protein contributed 25% of total dietary protein; peruvian fishmeal supplied the remaining portion. A diet with all protein contributed by fishmeal was used as a control. Substitution of 25% of the total 40% animal protein in the control diet by mungo and soybean meal did not adversely affect (P > 0.05) fish growth and the efficiency of feed conversion. Diets with 25% of protein contributed by pigeonpea and kidneybean meal resulted in significantly depressed (P ≤ 0.05) growth and efficiency of feed conversion. Milkfish survival rate was more than 97% throughout the six-week experimental period. We conclude that mungo and soybean meal, contributing at least 25% of dietary protein, can be used to replace fishmeal to reduce the cost of feed without adverse effect on the growth, survival and efficiency of feed conversion of juvenile milkfish.

Leaf meals as protein sources in diets for milkfish Chanos chanos (Forsskal)
Borlongan, I. G.; Coloso, R. M. (Asian Fisheries Society, 1994)The protencial of partial replacement of fish meal protein with protein indigenous leaf meals in practical diets for milkfish, Chanos chanos (Forsskal) was studied. Five isocaloric (375 kcal/100 g diet), isonitrogenous ... -
Potential of feed pea (Pisum sativum) meal as a protein source in practical diets for milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal)
Borlongan, Ilda G.; Eusebio, Perla S.; Welsh, Tim (Elsevier, 2003)A 12-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the use of feed pea meal as a dietary protein source for juvenile milkfish. Six isonitrogenous (30% crude protein) and isocaloric (16.5 kJ/g) practical diets were formulated. ... -

Ferraris, Ronaldo P.; Catacutan, Mae R.; Mabelin, Rey L.; Jazul, Adan P. (Elsevier, 1986)The true digestibility of casein, gelatin, fish meal, defatted soybean meal and Leucaena leucocephala leaf meal was measured in 60- and 175-g milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) in fresh- and seawater. The diets contained ...
