In addition to, pellet strength and bacterial type and population in the test diets. Four isonitrogenous isocaloric diets containing 0, 100, 200 and 300 g kg-1 DF as replacement of wheat bran were fed to triplicate groups of ten O. niloticus fingerlings (0.65 g) in a recirculating water system for 70 days. Fish fed diets contain up to 200 g kg-1 DF had similar growth parameters. Further increase in dietary DF to 300 g kg-1 resulted in significant retardation in all parameters. Body fat was reduced while protein, ash and moisture were increased by DF level. Increasing dietary DF level caused changes in tilapia’s intestinal villi, reduced dietary microbial activity and bacterial population of selected species, and produced stronger pellets.","PeriodicalId":13821,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research","volume":"25 2 1","pages":"909-916"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81295362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though many farmers use diesel operated pumps, a suitable alternative, which requires neither diesel nor electricity and yet meets their irrigation requirements may be welcome. And also in home power will be wasted in so many situations due to those situations electricity bill increases. To rectify such type of problems we developed a device which is for use of controlling Motor pumps from any location. It is a mobile based remote control system [7] for switching on/off and monitoring the water pumps, by using which a farmer or a person can be free from so many routine problems associated with timely irrigation, saving a lot of water, electricity, fuel, time, cost effective. The way of it works is, Motor Pump is connected to the device. Mobile is kept near device which can trigger the motor pump to start and stop. Whenever power comes at field then an automatic call [9] from system to the user to indicate power status. The person has to just call to Mobile kept near to the Motor pump and has to press his code to Start or Stop the Motor with IVR [10] response. He can also know whether the power is present or not and know the motor status.","PeriodicalId":13821,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research","volume":"19 1","pages":"55-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90785387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
