Abstract

In the present study, experiment was conducted to evaluate Protein Efficiency Ratio and Gross Food Conversion Ratio of freshwater fish Labeo rohita fed on 100%, 75%,50% 25a% non conventional formulated feed i.e. blood of bovine animals obtained from slaughter house and 100% conventional feed i.e. Groundnut oil Cake. The fishes were fed at the rate of 5% of the total body weight per day. The fish shows high body weight at 100% formulated feed as compared to 100% conventional feed. And fishes were having high Protein Efficiency Ratio and Gross Food Conversion Efficiency value as compared to conventional feed.
