Growth Performance Of Oreochromisniloticus In Association Withclarias Jaensis In Fertilized Ponds With Fowls And Pigs Droppings

The experiment was conducted in Nkolnkondi II Central Region-Cameroon with the main objective of contributing to ameliorate the massive production of Oreochromis niloticus associated with Clarias jaensis in fertilized ponds. A total of 500 fingerlings of Clarias jaensis and 1000 fingerlings of Oreochromis niloticus with their respective average weights of 20 39487g and 15 32301g were stocked in three treatments. The treatment To is a control not treated with fertilizers and the treatments T1 T2 consist of a portion of fish fed with fowls and pigs droppings. The following results were obtained final average weight weight gain daily weight gain and the specific growth rates of T0 in Oreochromis niloticus were 14745007 g 12812087g126073gj those of T1 and T2were respectively 17100097g 15369199g 084006gj 133062gj and 15160199g11532129g 064024gj 119016gj. But those in Clarias jaensis were as follows T0 13820092g 12442251g038108gj 113051gj T1 and T2 were 15863169g 12293102g 074009gj041009gj041011gj and 12507128g 10890169 g 021 003 gj 052 035gj respectively. For survival rate the followings 8215106 7653146 8663129 and 9620012 9236102 9416009 were respectively obtained in Oreochromis niloticus and Clarias jaensis in treatments T0 T1 and T2. It was observed that the treatment T1 from the portion fed with fowls droppings recorded a high significant value p267060.05 in final average weight weight gain average daily gain and specific growth rate of juveniles of Oreochromis niloticus with respect to T0 and T2.
