| Innovation Title | Stimulation of natural foods production in ponds by use of low protein feeds with fibre (NSP) rich carbohydrates in Tilapia culture |
| Innovation description | Dietary requirements for fish are normally determined in absence of natural food, while the majority of fish (incl. tilapia) are cultured in ponds, in which the natural food also contributes to fish growth. The innovation revealed that low protein feeds with fibre (NSP) rich carbohydrates provide both the necessary nutrients for the fish and, via the faeces, stimulate the natural food production in the pond that also contributes to the fish growth. |
