Preliminary results from culturing asiatic painted frog (Kaloula pulchra) by different living-feed
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study aimed to determine the optimal feed for Asiatic-painted frog culture. The experimental period consisted of 5 treatments (T) with different feeds: T1 (50% blood worm+50% black soldier fly’s larvae); T2 (100% rice-worm); T3 (50% bloodworm+50% earthworm); T4 (100% earthworm); and T5 (50% rice-worm+50% black soldier fly’s larvae). Each T was replicated 3 times for 30 days of culture. The results showed that the Asiatic-painted frog in T5 gained the highest length growth (LG 3.8 mm/each, and DLG 0.13 mm/day/each), weight growth (WG 273.9 mg/each, and DWG 9.1 mg/day/each), and survival rate (26.7%). Also, the feed cost in T5 was the lowest with 171 VND/each. Thus, the feed of black soldier fly’s larvae (50%) and rice-worm (50%) produced the best results in the Asiatic-painted frog raising experiment.
