  For a twelve week experiment, three varying crude protein levels (30, 35 and 40%) were considered to observe the growth and meat composition changes in Labeo rohita raised on six semi purified diets (T1: G, 30% CP; T2: NG, 30% CP; T3: G, 35% CP; T4: NG, 35% CP; T5: G, 40% CP and T6: NG, 40% CP) formulated with either gelatinized or nongelatinized corn starch followed by two replicates for each diet. Fish reared on T5 (G, 40% CP) exhibited highest average body weight (3.63 ± 0.00 g) followed by T3 (3.51 ± 0.00 g), T6 (3.50 ± 0.00 g), T1 (3.49 ± 0.00 g), T4 (3.38 ± 0.00 g) and T2 (3.36 ± 0.00 g) respectively. The statistical differences among these diets were nonsignificant. Correspondingly, average total length achieved by fingerlings was capital (3.30 ± 0.00 cm) treated on T5 (G, 40% CP), followed by T3 (3.28 ± 0.00 cm), T1 (3.20.. View More»
