A comparative study of Saccharum spontaneum (talahib)
and Salvinia molesta (kariba weed) as feed supplements
for tilapia nilotica (Nile tilapia)
Virgilio Velasco Jr, Christopher Barcelon, Betrand Hans Cagayan, Ernesto
Serote Jr, Marcus Ynalvez
ABSTRACT
Fingerlings of tilapia nilotica were fed for 8 weeks with 3 different
treatments, namely: 100% commercial feed (as control). Commercial feed
supplemented with 20% Saccharum spontaneum (talahib) and 20%
supplementation using Salvania molesta (kariba weed). The weight gain and
feed conversion efficiency values for talahib were significantly higher than
those of the control. The results for kariba weed were not significantly
different from the control.
It was inferred that both of the supplements may be used effectively,
and that “talahib” was the best treatment among the three groups.

ABSTRACT
A method was developed for preparing potato snack fortified with
mung bean flour to increase it protein content using the concentrations up to
70% mung beans. Concentrations of more than 50 mung beans were found
to be not acceptable. Sensory Evaluation Test (SET) results showed that the
snack with 20% mung beans was rated best. Friedman’s two-way analysis by
rank was used to analyze SET results and the experimental product was rated
best. Protein content of commercialized product and that of experimental
(50%) with mung bean were compared and showed that 115% increase in
protein content of the commercialized product..
