Abstract

Feeding experiments were conducted on the fingerlings of Labeo rohita using
feed containing sunflower oil cake at 20, 40 or 60% level. Wheat bran,
groundnut oil cake and maize were used in the control feed. All the diets were
made isonitrogenous at 35% crude protein level and fishes were fed at the
rate of 3% of the body weight. At the end of six months study, highest protein
in the carcass and muscle tissue was observed at 40% inclusion of sunflower
oil cake.
