ABSTRACT

The development of more adequate food programs regarding the intensity and duration of the restriction can be an effective way to minimize the effects of exaggerated food consumption and its negative consequences for the economy of the business. In this sense, juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (137 ± 3 g) were submitted to different feeding strategies in a recirculation system. Five feeding strategies were tested in subsequent weekly cycles: continuous feeding; skipping one meal a week; suppression of two non-consecutive meals a week; suppression of three non-consecutive meals a week; suppression of four non-consecutive meals a week. Productive performance, feed consumption in the post-restriction period and economic indicators were evaluated through projections and profitability analyses. Compensatory intake occurred in all tested groups, so that the total feed intake (FI) did not differ significantly between them (p > 0.05). Moderate food restriction provided a linear increase in the relative gross margin for each treatment with each change in salary level, as well as greater profitability when compared to the respective control group (p < 0.05).

KEYWORDS
