Corn gluten feed, a coproduct from the wet milling of corn, was incorp
orated in diets containing 32 and 36% protein. A 103-d feeding study w
ith Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) indicated that 32 and 36% pro
tein diets containing corn gluten feed produced weight gains and feed
conversion ratios similar to a control diet of commercial 36% protein
catfish feed. Protein efficiency ratios of the 32% protein diets were
better than those of the 36% protein diet and the control diet. The di
fferences in weight gain and feed conversion ratio between the 32 and
36% protein diets were not significant. The 32% protein diet with fish
meal (6%) had no advantage in weight gain or feed conversion ratio ov
er the 32% protein diet without fish meal.
