Importancia de carbohidratos en dietas alimenticias y su incidencia en el engorde en cultivos de tilapia roja (<i>oreochromis mossambicus</i>)

Abstract

Fish farming worldwide, including our country Ecuador in recent years has developed into an important market, being the second product in fish production for mass consumption, red tilapia, which generates important economic development of developing countries; Consider the importance of carbohydrates in the growth of red tilapia and the inclusion in its diet, its incidence in crops, to achieve a yield at the production level, which is achieved if we solidly relate the combination of percentages of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates throughout the production cycle, which will allow obtaining greater profitability and impact on the economic performance of the crop. The objective of this study is to determine the importance of carbohydrates in feed diets and their incidence in the fattening of red tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus), establishing the existing relationship of carbohydrates and how they affect the tilapia culture, generating their profitable use in production, providing economic gains for producers.
