Effects of feeding frequency on the growth, body composition and SOD, GPX and HSP70 gene expression in Schizothorax wangchiachii
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of different feeding frequencies on the growth, feed utilization, body composition, and immune and stress responses of Schizothorax wangchiachii to determine the optimal feeding frequency and provide a scientific basis for S. wangchiachii fee...

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of different feeding frequencies on the growth, feed utilization, body composition, and immune and stress responses of Schizothorax wangchiachii to determine the optimal feeding frequency and provide a scientific basis for S. wangchiachii feeding management. Therefore, four feeding frequencies (one, two, three and four times daily) were evaluated in triplicate tanks for eight weeks. The S. wangchiachii fed twice daily had higher final body weights (FBW) and specific growth rate (SGR) values than the fish fed one, three and four meals daily. The feeding rate (FR) increased significantly as the feeding frequency increased; nevertheless, the feed conversion efficiency (FCE) and protein retention efficiency (PRE) values of the fish fed twice daily were higher than those of the fish fed at other frequencies. The fish fed once daily showed higher moisture and lower crude lipid contents than the fish fed at other frequencies. The ash contents decreased significantly as the feeding frequency increased, whereas the crude protein content exhibited the opposite trend.
