THE EFFECTS OF STORAGE CONDITIONS ON OXIDATION LEVEL IN FISH FEED
Project no. 1153 · Status: Kapanmış · 2016
Summary
The growth of fish in intensive fish farming is carried out completely by the feeds supplied from externally. Especially when high-energy feeds with high levels of fat are stored in poor storage conditions, the fats in the feed are oxidized, therefore the peroxide number increases and the feed becomes bitter. Oxidation not only destroys the lipids in fish feeds but also vitamins. Slow growth, poor feed evaluation, color darkening, lethargy and deaths have been reported in fish fed with diets that are oxidized and inadequate in vitamin E. In this study, it is aimed to determine the degree of oxidation of fish feeds depending on different storage conditions.
