English Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate date seeds as a feed ingredient in growth performance and some biochemical parameters of the Nile tilapia (O.

niloticus) fingerlings with an average weight of 34.53 ± 0.14 g for 12 weeks.

At the end of the experiment, growth performance measurement and blood samples were collected to determine blood glucose, total protein, cholesterol, and triglycerides in blood serum.

The results showed that: it can use date seeds in the diets of tilapia fish, without any effect.

Although, the weight gain, weight gain ratio, standard growth rate (SGR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) of fish fed the diet containing date seeds were lower than the control diet (wheat bran-based diet); whereas the value feeds conversion ratio (FCR) of the Nile tilapia was higher in group fish fed on diet contained date seeds compare to the control group.

Additionally, the blood sugar, total protein, cholesterol, and triglyceride were lower obtained from fish fed on date seed (90.33±1.43, 1.61±0.04, 78.50±2.23 and 43.00±1.51, respectively) compared with control, however in the normal range.

Thus, further work is straightway needed to improve the quality of date seeds for tilapia, using proper processing and treatment techniques
