The effect of feeding frequency on nutrient digestibili\udty and growth performance was investigated in rainbow\udtrout (\udOncorhynchus mykiss\ud) fed a high lipid diet. The experimental diet contained 25.2% crude lipid and 40.7% crude\udprotein. Two feeding frequencies were tested: 2 meals per day (Group I) and 6 meals per day (Group II). Fish were fed a\udrestricted daily ration (1.5% of body weight) divided into equal meals.\udAt the end of the experiment, the weight gain in Group I and II was 84.6% and 90.1%, respectively. There was no\udstatistically significant difference between groups. The crude\udlipid and protein digestibility values were above 95% in\udboth groups. The feed conversion ratios of Group I and II were 1.28 and 1.21, respectively. There was no significant\uddifference between the 2 groups. Because nutrient digestibility\ud, growth, and feed efficiency were not significantly enhanced\udwhen feeding was increased from twice to 6 times daily, f\udeeding twice per day was considered to be sufficient for rainbow\udtrout fed the high lipid diet in this experiment.Bu ?al??mada, y?ksek ya? i?eri?ine sahip bir yem\udle farkl? yemleme s?kl???n\udda yemlemenin, g?kku?a??\udalabal?klar?nda besin maddelerinin sindirimi ve b?y?me perfor\udmans? ?zerine etkisi ara?t?r?lm??t?r.
