An evaluation of diets containing various levels of fermented cottonseed hull on digestibility and growth of nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings

Cotton seed hull, a by-product of cotton seed oil industry, was fermented and evaluated as an ingredient in practical diets for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings reared in hapas suspended in an outdoor concrete cistern. Fermentation resulted in the reduction of condensed tannin and cr...
