in a ratio 25 : 65 : 5(10) : 5, having a protein content of about 45%, was found
to bs better utilized and gave significantly tetter conversion rate than the conventional
feed, a mixture of gixjundinut oilcake and wheat bran in the proportioci 1 : 1,
indicating that the bran portion of the conventional feed may be succesrfuHy
reduced and flsbmeal added to its place for obtaining significantly higheir rate of
