The impact on growth performance, feed efficiency, and health status of substituting 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of fishmeal (FM) with Vespa orientalis meal (WM) in the Nile tilapia diets was examined. Fifteen hapas of randomly selected fingerlings (with a mean weight of 1.1 g ± 0.02) were fed the test meals for 84 days. The findings indicated that the fish development rate was not noticeably affected when FM was partially replaced by up to 50% of WM. The feed conversion ratios of WM25 and WM50 were considerably greater (

The impact on growth performance, feed efficiency, and health status of substituting 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of fishmeal (FM) with Vespa orientalis meal (WM) in the Nile tilapia diets was examined. Fifteen hapas of randomly selected fingerlings (with a mean weight of 1.1 g ± 0.02) were fed the test meals for 84 days. The findings indicated that the fish development rate was not noticeably affected when FM was partially replaced by up to 50% of WM. The feed conversion ratios of WM25 and WM50 were considerably greater (
