Abstract

An investigation was conducted with various diets prepared individually  withcereals and pulses viz., jowar (Sorghum sp.), millet (Setaria sp.), til oil cake(TOC), cow pea (lobia), lentil (masoor), khesari dhal and wheat bran to evalu-ate their effects on the growth, digestibility, food conversion ratio (FCR) andspecific growth rate (SGR) of Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings. The highest growthin terms of weight gain was obtained with khesari dhal, while lowest was foundin wheat bran and lobia. Analysis of variance indicated the growth as highlysignificant but Duncan’s multiple range test had shown insignificant differ-ence between the growth of fingerlings fed with khesari dhal and jowar (p>0.05).
