In the past decade, insect meal has gained popularity in the animal feed industry, particularly in aquafeed, due to rising costs and decreased availability of fish meal (FM) and fish oil. Initially met with skepticism, insect meal is now seen as a promising ingredient because of its high nutrient profile. Research worldwide is exploring its potential as a FM replacement.

60-days trial was performed to study the effect of inland saline water (ISW) at 10ppt salinity on lipid requirement of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) juveniles. Six purified iso-nitrogenous (37% crude protein) and hetero-caloric (380-430 Kcal DE/100 g) diets having graded levels of dietary lipid viz., 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14% were prepared.

A 60-day feeding trial was carried out to determine the effect of dietary lipid levels on growth and physiometabolic responses to optimize the dietary lipid requirement for maximizing the growth of Genetically Improved FarmedTilapia (GIFT) juveniles reared in inland ground saline water (IGSW) of medium salinity (15 ppt). Formulation and preparation of seven heterocaloric (389.56-449.

We investigate the impact of solvents on the microstructure of poly(methylhydrosiloxane)/divinylbenzene (PMHS/DVB) aerogels. The gels are obtained in highly diluted conditions via hydrosilylation reaction of PMHS bearing Si-H groups and cross-linking it with C=C groups of DVB. Polymer aerogels are obtained after solvent exchange with liquid CO₂ and subsequent supercritical drying.

Article Synopsis
  • Residual color in treated textile wastewater exceeds regulations, posing a significant issue in textile districts.
  • Researchers developed innovative Si-C-O polymer-derived ceramics to create porous nanocomposite materials, aiming to effectively remove dyes from water.
  • The SiOC aerogel demonstrated rapid adsorption of methylene blue and rhodamine B, achieving over 92% removal efficiency even in challenging conditions, and could be easily regenerated for reuse.
