Overview

Feeding is the process by which organisms acquire and ingest nutrients, and in aquaculture and animal science it encompasses the formulation of diets, feeding regimes, and the physiological and growth responses they produce. Effective feeding strategies determine growth performance, feed conversion efficiency, health, and production economics, making feed the central operational and cost variable in fish and livestock culture. Core considerations include nutrient requirements and balance, the digestibility and antinutritional factors of feed ingredients, the evaluation of alternative and locally available protein and energy sources, feeding frequency and ration size, and the relationship between diet composition and somatic growth. In fish culture, controlled feeding trials assess weight gain, feed utilization, and survival across graded inclusion levels of test ingredients. Research grounded in this area examines growth performance of catfish hybrids fed graded levels of processed seed-cake diets, the effect of soaked pigeon-pea seed inclusion on growth and feed-utilization efficiency in Nile tilapia fingerlings, and broader constraints on fish-culture practice. The field also intersects with feeding in human and animal nutrition more broadly, including complementary and therapeutic feeding. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on aquaculture nutrition and feeding, addressing diet formulation, ingredient evaluation, and the growth and efficiency outcomes that govern sustainable production.
