EFFECT OF AGRIMIN ON FEED CONVERSION, SPECIFIC GROWTH RATE AND PROTEIN EFFICIENCY RATIO OF THE INDIAN MAJOR CARP, LABEO ROHITA (HAM.)

The digestibility, feed conversion ratio, specific growth rate and protein efficiency ratio were studied for India major
carp, Labeo rohita (Ham) fingerlings fed a traditional diet, i.e. rice bran and oil cake (1:1) containing various doses of
a mineral mixture, Agrimin. Best results were obtained with the treatment which had Agrimin at the rate of 3.75 g/kg
of feed. The respective values for digestibility, FCR, SGR and PER for 60 days experiment were 88.58%, 59.19 g,
0.405 % and 5.51 g,
The effect of Agrimin was found to be highly significant at 1% level and the differences among results of various
