Optimization of protein content in earthworm-based fish feed formulation for catfish (Clarius gariepinus)

The optimization of protein content in earthworm-based fish feed formulation was investigated in the study. Full factorial design (FFD) and central composite design (CCD) were used as a statistical tool to screen the range of the selected parameters and to optimize the process, respectively. Three c...
