Effect of different diets on growth performance and carcass characteristics of Nu Phuk (Bandicota indica) raised under a circle cement pond
Main Article Content
Abstract
The results showed that growth performance, chemical composition, fatty acid profile,
and amino acid profile in edible meat were significant different (P<0.05) but, carcass traits were
no significant different (P>0.05). In conclusion, edible meat of Nu Phuk (Bandicota indica) was
shown to be abundant essential fatty acid and essential amino acid, thereby promoting future
food, end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and sustainable agriculture.
