Chemical Analysis and Nutritional Assessment of Defatted Garcinia Mangostana Seeds Used as an Additive on the Feed of Fish(Clarias Gariepinus)

Abstract - Chemical analysis and nutritional assessment of defatted Garcinia mangostana seeds (DGMS)

were undertaken to determine its suitability as an additive at 0.00g, 18.00g, 36.00g, 54.00g and 72.00g

inclusion levels in diets and performance of Clarias gariepinus post juveniles. Proximate analysis of DGMS

showed that the defatted seeds were high in carbohydrate (71.00 ± 0.79%) but low in protein content

(8.10 ± 0.22%). The mineral element analysis detected different minerals with potassium as the highest

(270.00ppm). All the fish increased in weight and length significantly (p
