Özet

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of water-soluble vitamin C and fatsoluble vitamin E on the growth of guppy (Poecilia reticulata). The control feed did not containvitamin C and E, while the other 15 experimental feeds were prepared by changing the amountof starch, without altering the chemical structure, and adding vitamin C (100, 500, 1000 mg/kg)and vitamin E (75, 150, 300 mg/kg) in various levels. At the end of the trial had an ascendingamount of both vitamin C and E in the diet and resulted with an increase in the developmentalparameters in the offspring of guppies (P<0.05). Among the experimental groups, the lowest feedconversion ratio was observed in group 16 (1000 mg vitamin C/kg+300 mg vitamin E/kg), andthe highest was in group 1 (the control) (P<0.05). Differences between the groups, in whichmortalities occurred, and the remaining groups, were found to be statistically significant (P<0.05).In addition, it was determined after a three month trial the group 16 of guppies had reachedmaturity, and juvenile. According to the results of this study, there is an increase in growth andsurvival of fry as the amount of vitamin C and E added in feed increases. The present study showsthat a dosage of 1000 mg kg-1 vitamin C+300 mg kg-1 vitamin E has a beneficial effect on guppygrowth parameters and survival rate.
