to feed containing
Nerita
species

A
six month’s feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the incorporation of five feed ingredients with the flesh of
Nerita
species in the diet of
Labeo rohita
. Fingerlings of
Labeo rohita
weighing 2-4 gm were divided into six groups and fed with
prepared feeds using five different feed ingredients such as ground nut oil cake, tapioca flour, and rice bran and wheat flour along
with different levels of the flesh of
Nerita
species as experimental diets. A control group of rohu fingerlings was maintained on
pelleted feed without adding the flesh of
Nerita
species. Fishes were fed twice daily with the respective test diets at the rate of 4% body
weight during entire culture period of three months. Results regarding growth performance of
L. rohita
fingerlings fed on different
experimental diets showed that the best growth performance of fish in terms of percentage live weight gain was noted as 131.68%
where as 46.60% was noted with control diet which is prepared without adding the flesh of
Nerita
species. Maximum increase in
length (2.90 cm) was noticed in the fingerlings fed with highest level of the flesh of
Nerita
species compared to minimum increase in
length (1.33 cm). Specific Growth Rate (SGR) per day of fish fed on different experimental diets was noted in the range of 0.22-0.61%
compared to control diet which was noted as 0.28%. The feed conversion ratio observed 4.417 was highest in fish fed with highest level
of the flesh of
Nerita
species compared to fish fed on control diet which is noted as 4.032. This study reveals that incorporation of the
flesh of
Nerita
species in different feed ingredients is one of the best animal proteins in terms of growth and feed conversion which
is optimum for growth of
Labeo rohita
.
Biography
Nchumbeni Humtsoe obtained her PhD degree from University of Mumbai, India on the topic “Growth performance and biochemical composition of
Labeo rohita
to feed containing
Katelysia opima and Nerita species
,” and completed a course on “Professional planning and development programme in fisheries” from CIFE,
Kolkata, India. She had represented Scientist Team from India and attended 7
