FAO: Feed formulation - Food and Agriculture Organization
The ingredients used in the formulation of farm-made tilapia feeds vary regionally. In Thailand, a typical feed formulation for herbivorous fish may include fishmeal (16 percent), peanut meal (24 percent), soybean meal (14 percent), rice bran (30 percent), broken rice (15 percent) and vitamin/mineral premixes (1 percent) (Somsueb, 1994).
Formulation Methods to Produce Fish feed Pearson Square Method •Pearson square •The simplest method to calculate the ration, •It can be used for 2 and more ingredients, •It can be balanced only one nutrient (make your choice for crude protein or crude fat)
FAO: Feeding methods - Food and Agriculture Organization
In most tilapia farms where pelleted dry or moist feeds are used (either farm-made or commercial feeds), broadcasting by hand is the preferred method of feeding. Being active swimmers, tilapia will readily swim to the edge of the pond or cage where the feed is being broadcasted.

Tilapia can efficiently utilize as much as 35-40 percent digestible carbohydrate. Carbohydrate utilization by tilapia is affected by a number of factors, including carbohydrate source, other dietary ingredients, fish species and size and feeding frequency (El-Sayed, 2006).
Tilapia production trials to test the efficacy of using agro-industrial by-products in feed formulations have been undertaken for a number of species (Attipoe, Nelson and Abban, 1998; Ofori and Asamoah, 1996).
