Abstract

The experiment was conducted in ponds under semi-intensive polyculture system
for 90 days with a stocking density @ 5000/ha with Catla catla, Labeo rohita
and Cirrhinus mrigala. The ponds were fertilized with raw cow dung and single
super phosphate, fish fed with two combinations of isonitrogenous and isocaloric
formulated diets with and without vitamin premix under a temperature range
of 24.03-31.07° C. Results indicated that there was no significant influence of
exogenous dietary supplementation of vitamins either on water qualities such
as pH, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, total hardness, ammonia-nitrogen and
biological parameters such as phytoplankton and zooplankton population, survival,
net production, daily weight gain, specific growth rate (%), feed conversion
ratio, temperature, growth coefficient, condition factor, weight of individual
species and body composition of all the fish species which suggest that extra
vitamin in the diet may not be required and thus 14% of the total cost of feed
can be saved.
