Description A 60-day growth experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of
replacing dietary cod liver oil with palm oil on the growth, survival, and
muscle proximate composition of the Indian major carp, Cirrhinus mrigala.
Five diets were fed to triplicate groups of 20 advanced C. mrigala fry
(2.16±0.01 g): 100% cod liver+0% palm (control), 25% palm+75% cod
liver, 50% palm+50% cod liver, 75% palm+25% cod liver, and 100%
palm+0% cod liver. At the end of the experiment, mean weight gain, average
daily growth, specific growth rate, feed conversion efficiency, feed conversion
ratio, and percentage survival were assessed. Growth performance and
survival were not compromised when fish oil was substituted with palm oil up
to 25%. However, beyond this level, growth was significantly retarded
(p0.01) differences in feed efficiency or
muscle proximate composition. Results confirm the feasibility of substituting
up to 25% dietary fish oil by palm oil in diets for C. mrigala advanced fry
without negatively affecting growth or feed utilization efficiency.
