Summary
The purpose of this project was to:
- determine the apparent digestibility of the dry matter, energy, phosphorous, protein and essential amino acids in three meatmeals
- determine whether it is possible to measure assimilation and retention of protein from the meatmeal in a diet by examining the stable isotope ratios in the msucle of prawns fed that diet
- obtain preliminary data on the effect on prawn growth rate of replacing up to 50% of fishmeal with meatmeal.
