The effect of feed type on the growth of catfish (Claria-gariepinus) using a 2k factorial design

Abstract

The effect of feed type on the growth of pond raised catfish (Clarias- garienpinus) is examined using a 2^k factorial design. A period of four weeks was used in  experimentation. The four factors represent four feed types namely Sharp, Coppens, Euro, Dizeng-golf. Analysis of the experiment reveal a great variation in the growth for pond raised catfish using a combination of low level of Sharp, high level of Coppens, high level of Euro, and high level of Dizeng-golf.

Key Words: feed types, 2^k factorial design.
