Observations of Growth Parameters and Digestibility of Indian Snake-Headed Murrel, Channa punctata to Various Dietary Conditions

Abhijeet Sengupta | Amita Moitra

Abstract: The growth and digestibility study has been performed in Channa punctata in four experimental conditions with pelleted diets. The formulated diets were prepared with locally available ingredients viz, rice bran, oil cake, silkworm pupae, fish meal, meat meal, blood meal etc following standard methodology. There was an increasing trend of growth parameters such as food conversion ratio and food conversion efficiency as well as digestibility in all experimental groups except those on feed pellets of blood meal as an ingredient. Findings of the present study suggest that cocoon based feed could be used for better growth and feed utilization efficiencies of snakehead Channa punctata.
