| contents | Effects of Feeding Graded Levels of Gelatin Content on Growth, Feed Utilization and Health Status in Head-Started Leatherback Sea Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea). Kanghae, Hirun Boonthong, Suthida Foong, Dato Simon Kaewsrithong, Meechai Nuntapong, Nutt Sudjan, Chompunut Intaring, Boontika Chitrat, Nedrangsee Saetang, Surasak Thongprajukaew, Karun Animals Turtles Animal Feed Gelatin Diet Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena Animals, Zoo Leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) have been successfully housed in captive conditions for over 1 year while receiving a gelatin-based artificial diet. However, the levels of gelatin in the feed formulations for this species were not optimized. Here, 2-month-old juvenile leatherback sea turtles (n = 3 per treatment, 393-394 g initial weight) were given feed formulations containing 2%, 4%, and 6% of gelatin by weight (designated 2G, 4G, and 6G, respectively). Survival, growth, and feed utilization of head-started leatherback sea turtles were monitored for 8 weeks. Nonlethal techniques were used to assess nutrient availability (fecal digestive enzyme activities and fecal thermal properties) and health status (carapace elemental composition and hematological parameters). No mortality was observed during the feeding trial of leatherback sea turtles. Significant improvements (p |
