Abstract

For investigating the capacity of soybean meal to be used as a diets primary protein ingredients, two trial diets designed on two species with discriminate feeding habit (Persian sturgeon, Acipenser persicus, as carnivorous and Goldfish, Carassius auratus, as omnivorous. Diets prepared according to each species specified nutritional requirements. Surprisingly, the results of soybean meal inclusion in Gold fish diets showed better weight gain and specific growth rate. There were no significant differences among treatments in the case of condition factor and food conversion rate of Goldfish. In contrast, soybean meal could not be used efficiently by Persian sturgeon, even if partly used and phosphorous met with microbial phytase incorporation. Well growing of an omnivorous species throughout soybean inclusion in diet would be a promising achievement for designing a more efficient and cheaper diet in the future.
