ABSTRACT
The present study was carried out to investigate and analyze the effects of protein rich diet supplemented with lipids on muscle growth. Completely randomized design were used for the different feeding ingredients; rice bran + wheat flour, ricebran+wheat flour +mustard oil, chicken gut +snails +mustard oil, chicken gut +wheat +snails +rice bran, chicken gut +snails + wheat flour + oil cakes. The effect of diets in different concentrations of proteins and lipids were observed. The best growth under experimental conditions was observed in chicken gut + snails + wheat flour + oil cakes combination, while the field study revealed best growth when chicken gut +mustard cakes + wheat flour was fed . It was observed that fish fed on 75-80% protein rich diet grows better in combination with 15-20% lipids than only with protein rich diet. The results showed that fishes which were fed on protein rich diet than lipids have better fillet quality after harvesting. The field studies revealed that, artificial feeding regims are better than natural in terms of growth of muscle.
