Effects of Dietary Protein Levels on Growth, Feed Utilization, Protein Retention Efficiency of Tor tor (Hamilton, 1822)
Lone Akram and Lone Swapna

Abstract: During the present experiment, Tor tor fry with an average length and weight of 20.00 mm and 0.338 g, respectively were subjected to three experimental feeds containing 25% CP (T1), 30% CP (T2) and 40% CP (T3) with a control group fed on feed containing 20% CP. The results revealed highest increment in overall length and weight in case of T3, with as high as 86.3±2.2 mm and 5.329±1.11 g, over a period of 12 months (365 days). Similarly, highest values for SGR (0.328±0.03) and PER (0.846±0.02) were recorded in case of T3. The best feed composition as T3 was documented finally by the lowest FCR value of 0.82±0.02.
