Abstract: This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of dietary replacement of maize with sweet potato peel in the diet of Clarias gariepinus juveniles. The levels of the SPP inclusion in the experimental diets were 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. All the diets were iso-nitrogenous. One hundred and fifty (150) C. gariepinus juveniles (33 g ~ 35 g) were randomly distributed to five treatments with three replicates each and 5% of their body weight for... More
