| Abstract | The effect of dietary supplementation of fermented fish silage on the growth performance of male Wistar rats was investigated. The rats were fed with feeds prepared with fermented fish silage of three different fish species viz., jew fish, tilapia and silver carp. Body weight gain and nutritional performances of different groups of rats were assessed. There was no significant difference observed in the rate of body weight gain in groups supplemented with fermented fish silage and acid silage supplemented rats. However, the groups of rats fed with Jew fish silage showed better weight while Apparent Nitrogen Digestibility of all the experimental groups fed silage were found to be significantly less than that of control groups. Protein Efficiency Ratio was almost similar in all groups except for silver carp silage supplemented groups which showed significantly low value. The study indicated that the fermented silage prepared from jew fish was found to have better nutritional qualities. |
