O trabalho foi realizado com objetivo de determinar os coeficientes de digestibilidade aparente (CD) da matéria seca (MS), proteína bruta (PB), energia bruta (EB) e a disponibilidade dos aminoácidos (AA), fósforo (P) e cálcio (Ca) da farinha de resíduos da indústria de filetagem de tilápias (FT) para a tilápia do Nilo. Foram utilizadas 60 tilápias com peso e comprimento médio de 80,69±15,97g e 15,97±1,87cm, respectivamente. Os animais foram submetidos à metodologia de coleta de fezes por sedimentação em tanques afunilados. A MS, PB e EB da FT apresentaram CD de 83,55, 88,13 e 84,74%, respectivamente. Apresentando valores de proteína e energia digestíveis de 44,39% e 3799,02Kcal de ED kg-1. A FT apresenta CDa médio dos AA de 91,60% com CDas variando de 67,90% para a Fen até 100% para a Arg e a Cis. O CD do P foi de 70,44% apresentando 1,94% de P disponível, o CDa do Ca da FT é de 51,10% apresentando 4,02% de Ca disponível. A FT é um alimento protéico com bons índices de disponibilidade aparente de seus nutrientes e pode ser utilizado na alimentação de tilápias com a aplicação destes índices visando formular rações de custo mínimo que atendam às exigências da espécie.Coefficients of apparent digestibility (CD) of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude energy (CE) and the availability of amino-acids (AA), phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) of meals from tilapia filleting industrial waste (FT) for the Nile tilapia were determined. Sixty tilapias, mean weight and length 80.69±15.97g and 15.97±1.87cm respectively, underwent feces collection by sedimentation in cone-bottom tanks. DM, CP and BE of FT had a CD of 83.55; 88.13 and 84.74% respectively, with digestible protein and energy rates equivalent to 44.39% and 3799.02 Kcal of ED kg-1. FT had average CD of AA of 91.60%, with CD varying from 67.90% for Fen up to 100% for Arg and Cis. Whereas CD of P was 70.44% with 1.94% of available P, CD of Ca of FT amounts to 51.10% with 4.02% of Ca available. FT is a protein feed with a good index of apparent availability of its nutrients and may be used in feed of tilapia. Above indexes will produce low cost feeds that also meet the requirements of the fish.
