| Popis: | Vanadium compounds mimic most of the metabolic eiects of insulin, suggesting that it might be useful to improve utilization of dietary carbohydrate. This work evaluated the eiect of dietary ammonium metavanadate (H4NO3V) on the growth performance and energy metabolism of pacu, an omnivorous South America characin. Two hundred and eightyeight ¢sh were distributed into four blocks according to the body weight (21.8 1.7, 28.5 2.0, 28.4 1.9, 35.7 1.9 g), stocked in 24 plastic tanks and fed twice daily with isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets containing six levels of H4NO3V (0, 10, 50, 100, 300 and1000 mg kg 1 ) for 60 days.
