CEREALS CONTAINED IN THE DIET OF DOMESTIC FISH

Cereals make up a good food integrative suitable for all predominantly vegetarian fish, like many of the Cyprinidae family (carps, etc.).

The starch contained in cereals is effectively digested by these animals thanks to their very large intestinal tracts and to the synthesis of amylases, enzymes dedicated to the digestion of starches. Being poor in proteins and therefore easier to digest, food containing cereals can be used to feed fish in the transition phases between seasons (e.g. in autumn and spring), when their metabolism slows down.

Once their metabolic activities return to their normal levels, one can maintain a small percentage of cereals in the diet, to facilitate the absorption of other nutrients, such as proteins.
