Article Synopsis
- The study explored the effects of bitter orange peel powder (BOPP) on Nile tilapia juveniles by dividing 120 fish into four groups with varying levels of BOPP supplementation in their diets.
- Results showed that BOPP improved growth in tilapia, particularly at a 10 g/kg inclusion rate, with better weight gain and development of intestinal villi compared to the control group.
- Although higher BOPP levels increased lipids and cholesterol, all groups had similar thermal tolerance, indicating BOPP could be a cost-effective nutritional option for fish.
