The Aquaculture Podcast Show - Protein Needs for Tilapia | Ep. 6

the aquaculture podcast show Apr 28, 2025

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we talk about how to optimize protein nutrition for Nile tilapia using precision feeding strategies. We break down the difference between digestible protein and crude protein, why protein-to-energy ratios matter, and how nutritional needs change during different stages of growth and reproduction. Find out how to boost feed efficiency and cut down on nitrogen waste. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2025 article titled "Protein requirements in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) during production and reproduction phases" by Meurer, F., Novodworski, J., & Bombardelli, R. A.
