Abstract

Evaluation of food attractive is not summarized on growth but included the other aspects, such as body composition parameters. This study was conducted to examine the effects of Betaine in the diet on Growth performance, food efficiency and body composition of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca; Linnaeus, 1785) in Yosefpour's Fish farm (Siyahkal). 600 Pikeperch fingerlings were stocked in three groups of 200 in each tank and were fed with diets counting: commercial trout diet (Biomar) (Control), 1% Betaine added to biomar and 2% Betaine added to biomar, for 6 weeks and fed up to 7 meals per day. During the trial growth performance, feed efficiency and body composition were measured. The result of this study showed that final weight, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio and feed efficiency of pikeperch in treatment 2% Betaine added to biomar were significant differences (P
