Resumo
Embora a produção de peixes em sistema orgânico seja crescente no mundo, no Brasil, ainda há poucos estudos sobre esta prática. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar a utilização de trigo orgânico, em substituição ao milho orgânico, na dieta de juvenis de tilápia do Nilo. Foram utilizados 200 juvenis (5,24 ± 0,13 g; 6,91 ± 0,40 cm), distribuídos em 20 hapas experimentais (0,15 m³ de volume útil), em tanque de concreto com capacidade para 25,0 m³ de água, com sistema de aeração constante, em delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado. Foram elaboradas cinco dietas contendo farelo de trigo orgânico (0,0 g kg-1; 50,0 g kg-1; 100,0 g kg-1; 150,0 g kg-1; e 200,0 g kg-1) e o arraçoamento foi realizado quatro vezes ao dia (08:00h, 11:00h, 14:00h e 17:00h). Foram avaliados a massa final, comprimento total, taxa de sobrevivência, ganho de peso diário, fator de condição de Fulton, gordura visceral, índice hepatossomático, índice viscerossomático e a composição centesimal da carcaça dos peixes (teores de umidade, proteína, lipídio e cinza). Os níveis de inclusão de farelo de trigo orgânico não afetaram as variáveis analisadas. O trigo orgânico pode ser incluído na dieta de juvenis de tilápia do Nilo até o limite de 200,0 g kg-1, sem causar qualquer problema produtivo.

This study aimed at evaluating the use of organic wheat, in replacement of organic maize, in the diet of Nile tilapia juveniles. A total of 200 juveniles (5.24 ± 0.13 g; 6.91 ± 0.40 cm) were distributed in 20 experimental hapas (0.15 m³ of useful volume), in a concrete water tank with capacity for 25.0 m³ and constant aeration system, in a completely randomized design. Five diets containing organic wheat middlings (0.0 g kg-1, 50.0 g kg-1, 100.0 g kg-1, 150.0 g kg-1 and 200,0 g kg-1) were elaborated and feeding took place four times a day (08:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 02:00 p.m. and 05:00 p.m.). Final weight, total length, survival rate, daily weight gain, Fulton's condition factor, visceral fat, hepatosomatic index, viscerosomatic index and the centesimal composition of fish carcass (moisture, protein, lipid and ash contents) were evaluated. The inclusion levels of organic wheat middlings did not affect the variables analyzed. The organic wheat can be added to the diet of Nile tilapia juveniles up to the limit of 200.0 g kg-1, without causing any productive problem.
