A 100-day feeding trial was conducted to compare the growth and economic performance of an experimental diet formulated by the inclusion of sunflower cake (SFC) with two commercial diets. All three were isonitrogenous (30.03-32.20% crude protein) and isocaloric (388-395 kcal) diets. Diet 1 and Diet 2 were commercially available feeds in the local m...

Sunflower cake (SFC) was evaluated as a partial replacement for conventional protein sources including fishmeal, soybean meal, and mustard oilcake in tilapia feed. Four isonitrogenous (26% crude protein) and isocaloric (354-376 kcal) diets were formulated. Diet-1 (control), Diet-2, Diet-3, and Diet-4 had 0, 30, 40, and 50% SFC inclusion, respective...

ABSTRACT Four experiments were conducted to develop cost-effective feed for freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by inclusion of sunflower cake (SFC), substituting expensive fish meal and conventional plant protein sources like soybean meal and mustard oilcake. Experiment-I was conducted to test the...

In Bangladesh, homestead pond aquaculture currently comprises a polyculture of large fish species but provides an ideal environment to integrate a range of small fish species. Small fish consumed whole, with bones, head and eyes, are rich in micronutrients and are an integral part of diets, particularly for the poor. Results from three large projec...

A feeding trial with Macrobrachium rosenbergii was carried out to test the effectiveness of sunflower cake (SFC) as a replacement for conventional protein sources. Four isonitrogenous (~30% crude protein) and isocaloric (388–402 kcal) diets were formulated. Diet-1 was a control made with conventional ingredients including fish meal, soya bean meal...

The USAID-funded Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia in Bangladesh (CSISA-BD) aimed to increase the income of farming households through increased productivity of aquaculture systems. Key activities of the project included developing and disseminating appropriate improved agricultural technology and quality fish seeds to improve livelihoods, f...

Fisheries is an emerging sector in Bangladesh producing about 3.50 million tons of fish annually of which aquaculture accounts for 2.00 million tons. In intensive aquaculture, pond water gets polluted due to high stocking density and large amount of supplemental feeding results in huge accumulation of unused feed and faeces in the pond bottom. The...

Three orange sweet potato (OSP) varieties BARI SP-4, BARI SP-7 and BARI SP-8 were introduced in 20m 2 area within homestead vegetable production system of poor farming households in six agro-ecological regions of Bangladesh during 2011-12 and 2012-13. Data on different aspects of the study were collected from 196 randomly selected households. The a...

The Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia in Bangladesh (CSISA-BD) was a USAID-funded five year project that began in October 2010 and ended in September, 2015 aiming to increase the household income, food security, and livelihoods of the small and marginal farming households. The project worked out of six hubs: four in Feed the Future influence...

Biogeographic boundaries are characterised by distinct faunal and floral assemblages restricted on either side, but patterns among groups of taxa often vary and may not be discrete. Historical biogeography as a consequence, while providing crucial insights into the relationship between biological diversity and earth history, has some limitations. P...
