Cost-Competitive Aquafeed from Lablab

DLSU developed a hardware and a system for harvesting and drying lab-lab to make it available for use year-round. The researchers developed the lab-lab biomass as a cost-competitive feedstock for milkfish fingerlings. This involved the design and fabrication of an automated machine vision-based capable of harvesting the algal mat.  Drying characteristics of lab-lab have been …

Microalgae Paste

The University of the Philippines Visayas developed a microalgae paste as an alternative source of larval feed especially when rations of live microalgae are insufficient. Microalgae paste was utilized for two production cycles in order to determine its acceptability and profitability compared with the conventional hatchery protocols. The program also developed proper packaging of the …

Evaluation of provitamin B1 as agent to reduce feed cost of practical diet of the nile tilapia and milkfish

DOST-PCAARRD, in partnership with the University of the Philippines Visayas-National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (UPV-NIMBB) conducted a feeding trial wherein the project team supplemented benfotiamine in the tilapia’s diet. Benfotiamine is a derivative of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) which improves carbohydrate utilization in diabetic human subjects. Since most, if not all, aquatic animals are …

Pilot test on incorporating the filamentous green algae Rhizoclonium riparium in the diet of Nile tilapia

UPV conducted pilot tests on incorporating the lumot or Filamentous Green Algae Rhizoclonium riparium in the Diet of Nile Tilapia. They evaluated whether or not the incorporation of Rhizoclonium meal into the diet of tilapia in two farm areas increases profitability. They also refined feeding scheme pertinent to the technology.  While lumot has always been …

Field trial of Protein Enriched Copra Meal (PECM) as feeds protein for tilapia, milkfish, and shrimp

Copra cake, a by-product of the coconut oil industry of the Philippines was subjected to a solid state fermentation process using technology developed by Biotech of UP Los Baños in order to enhance the protein content of copra meal to about 45% that is comparable to soybean meal. This processed product is known as protein …
