It was evaluatedthe inclusion of millet perls in rations with 30% of digestible protein and3,000 kcal/kg of digestible energy for Nile tilapia fingerlings. The experimentwas carried out in complete randomized design with five rations (0.00; 7.00;14.00; 21.00 and 28.00% millet perls inclusion), each one with five replicates.It was used 200 sexual reverted Thai lineage Nile tilapia fingerlings, at 0.92gof initial weight and 35 days of age, distributed in 25 tanks (150 L). Weightgain, apparent feed conversion, survival rate, hepatic-somatic rate, carcassyield and carcass fat percentage were evaluated. The performance of the fingerlingsdid not differ among rations, indicating that levels of energy did not influencethe characteristics of performance. Millet pearls can be used in feeds for Niletilapia fingerlings totally replacing energy and protein of corn without effecton performance and carcass quality of the animals.
