Summary
The experiments aimed to clarify variations in digestibility of dietary nutrients in rainbow trout. Furthermore, the objective was to study how differences in digestibility might be related to growth and feed utilisation at various growth rates. When comparing the results from the experiments it appeared that particularly protein digestibility was closely related to specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio at high growth rates. As a tool to visualise the relationship between protein digestibility and growth of rainbow trout a growth model was developed based on the specific intake of digestible protein, and general assumptions on protein content and protein retention efficiency in rainbow trout. The model indicated that increased protein digestibility only partly explained growth increase and that additional factors were important for growth increment.
Summary translation
I forsøgene undersøgtes variationer i fordøjelighed hos regnbueørred samt hvorledes forskelle i fordøjelighed af næringskomponenter kunne relateres til vækst og foderudnyttelse ved forskellige vækst hastigheder. Det viste sig, at især protein fordøjelighed var tæt forbundet med specifik vækstrate og foderudnyttelse ved høje vækst hastigheder. Der blev udviklet en vækst model på basis af den specifikke indtagelse af fordøjelig protein og generelle antagelser om proteinindhold og protein retentions effektivitet i regnbueørred. Modellen indikerede, at øget protein fordøjelighed kun delvist kunne forklare vækst forøgelsen og at andre faktorer spillede en rolle for væksten.
