Vitamin suplementation on Jundiá (Rhamdia quelen) larvae development

Abstract

Two experiments were carried out by using a randomized entirely design, with six treatments and three repetitions, to evaluate the effect of vitamin mixtures (VM) in the jundiá (Rhamdia quelen) larviculture. In both experiments were used isoproteic (34%CP) and isocaloric (3.500kcal/kg feed) feeds, where in the experiment I VM was formulated, with or without inositol and C vitamin suplementation. In this experiment MV T2 provided higher larvae growth. The VM was tested in six inclusion levels (2,0; 1,5; 1,0; 0,5; 0,25 and 0%) in the experiment II. It was conclude that the vitamins inclusion on the VM utilized in T1 on the second experiment shown to be more efficient in the jundiá larviculture.
