Abstract: Buyukcapar, H.M., Mezdegi, M.I. and Kamalak, A. 2010. Nutritive value of narbon bean (Vicia narbonensis) seed as ingredient in practical diet for Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 37: 253–256. To determine the nutritive value of Narbon bean (Vicia narbonensis) seed (VNS) in practical diets of Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings at five levels (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 g VNS/kg) treatments had three replicates, ten fish per replicate. Inclusion of VNS above 200 g/kg showed significantly reduced feed intake, growth performance and lower lipid content. It is concluded that narbon bean could be included up to 200 g/kg only into diet of tilapia.
