Abstract
Increase in body protein concentration was noted in the fry of
rohu fed vitamin E@ O.Omg, 25mg, 50mg, 75mg, 100mg, 150mg, 200mg,
300mg, and 400mg/kg of formulated diet. The protein content of fry
was found to be significantly different between the different levels of
vitamin E. It was found to be maximum (18. 7%) in the case of vitamin
E @ 75mg/kg diet followed by vitamin-E @lOOmglkg diet. On increasing
of vitamin E above 100 mg per kilogram diet there was further decline
in the protein content of the fry. The protein increase, from the initial
value (12.5%), were recorded to be 14.4%, control; 21.6%, 25mg level;
31.2%, 50mg level; 49.6%, 75mg level; 45.6%, 100 mg level; 14.4%, 150mg
level; 28%, 200 mg level; 29.6%, 300 mg level and 13.6% for 400 mg level
in different experimental groups
