Five test diets were formulated using locally available feed ingredients:fishmeal, groundnut cake, rice bran, tapioca flour, and vitamin/mineral premix. Diets contained 35% crude protein with graded lipid levels. Sardine ...

Nine semi-purified diets containing three levels of protein (300, 350, 400 g/kg) and three levels of lipid (60, 80, 100 g/kg) were fed ad libitum to juvenile freshwater angelfish Pterophyllum scalare (1.64±0.01 g) to ...

Labeo rohita (rohu) fry (0.547±0.01 g) were fed one of four diets containing 0 (control), 0.1, 0.5, or 1.0% Achyranthes aspera seed. After 30 days, the fry were immunized with chicken red blood cells (c-RBC). Blood samples ...
