Abstract

A feeding trial was conducted to determine the a pparent nutrient digestibility of three feed i ngredientsof animal protein sourcesforLabeo rohitafingerlings.Referencediet was mwith test ingredients in 70:30ratiosto formulate test diets. Chromic oxide was added as an indigestible marker.Apparent nutrient digestibility coefficient of dry matterand crude fatfor bloodmealand fish mealwassignificantly higher than meat mealat P<0.05. The crude protein digestibility values of blood meal (71.90±1.98)were significantly lower than
