A growth performance test of Nile tilapia reared in concrete tanks with rabbit droppings was carried out at the aquaculture experimentation unit of the Higher Institute of Aquaculture Professions (ISMA) of the University of Kara in Togo over a period of 6 months. Three diets were used in this study; two of them were based on rabbit poop. A control diet which is a standard fish feed Raanan (L0), a diet consisting of a fair mixture of rabbit poop and Raanan (L1) and a diet consisting of raw rabbit poop (L2). A total of 270 Nile tilapia fry with an average weight of 1.6 ± 0.1 g were distributed in nine concrete 600 L tanks randomly arranged at a density of 30 fish per tank. The fish were fed 3 times a day at the rate of 10% to 3% of the biomass from the first to the sixth month of the experiment. Control fisheries for the various production parameters were carried out every two weeks, and food rations were readjusted according to the biomasses. At the end of this experiment, interesting results were obtained. The survival rate varied from 78.30 ± 5% to 97 ± 0.6%. The growth performance was significantly affected by the different diets. The average daily weight gain recorded varied from 0.6 ± 0.0 g / d to 1.2 ± 0.0 g / d. Regarding feed efficiency, the food conversion ratio varied from 2.6 ± 0.1 to 9.2 ± 0.2 with interesting performances on the diet composed of a fair mixture of rabbit poop and Raanan.

Un test de performance de croissance du tilapia du Nil soumis à des aliments contenant des crottes de lapin a été réalisé à l’unité d’expérimentations aquacoles de l’Institut Supérieur des Métiers de l’Agriculture (ISMA) de l’Université de Kara du Togo sur une durée de 6 mois. Pour cela, 270 alevins monosexes mâles de tilapia du Nil d’un poids moyen de 1,6 ± 0,1 g ont été répartis aléatoirement dans 9 bacs en béton de 600 L à la densité de 30 poissons par bac en triplicata. Ils ont été nourris trois fois par jour au taux de 10 à 3% de l’ichtyo-biomasse du premier au sixième mois avec trois aliments; un aliment standard Raanan servant de témoin (L0), un aliment composé d’un mélange équitable de crottes de lapin et de Raanan (L1) et un régime constitué de crotte de lapin brute (L2). À la fin de cette expérimentation, des résultats prometteurs ont été obtenus. Le taux de survie a varié de 78,30 ± 5% à 97 ± 0,6%. Les performances de croissance des poissons ont été significativement affectées par les différents régimes alimentaires. Le gain moyen quotidien enregistré a varié de 0,6 ± 0,0 g/j à 1,2 ± 0,0 g/j. Concernant l’efficacité alimentaire, l’IC a varié de 2,6 ± 0,1 à 9,2 ± 0,2 avec des performances intéressantes pour le régime composé d’un mélange équitable de crotte de lapin et de Raanan.
