Abstract
Sesame oil is an ideal lipid source replacing the fish oil in fish diet thanks to its fatty acid profile and sensory characteristics. This study was conducted to evaluate the impacts of dietary sesame oil supplementation on growth, feed utilization, and fillet quality of Nile tilapia in growth-out stage. The basal feed for tilapia was supplemented with sesame oil at ratios of 0, 10, 20, and 40 g kg-1 corresponding to AS0, AS10, AS20, and AS40 treatments. Fish (~80g) were fed to apparent satiation for 6 weeks. Fish were weighed periodically to monitor the growth rate. At the end of the experiment, fish were dissected to collect the fillet and measure the intestinal indicators; the number of fish and amount of consumed feed served to calculate the survival rate, feed conversion ratio, and protein efficiency rate. Fillet samples were then used to analyze the fatty acid composition, chemical composition, physicochemical indicators, and sensory characteristics. The results showed that the highest value of fish growth and feed utilization were found in AS20. The sesame oil levels did not modify the intestinal parameters but changed the hardness and lightness of fish fillet. The sensory parameters including aroma and sweetness were highest in AS20 and AS40. The significant differences were recorded in total lipid and fatty acid level in fish fillet. In conclusion, the supplementation of sesame oil at 20 g kg-1 diet brings the benefits in fish growth and fillet quality of Nile tilapia in growth-out stage from 80 to 300Â g/fish.
