Twelve experimental diets (D-1 to D-12) in a 4 ? ? ?3 factorial design having four protein levels (25, 35, 40 and 45%) and three carbohydrate levels (15, 25 and 35%) were formulated and fed to fingerling rohu, Labeo rohita (5.48 ?± ?0.02 ?g) for 60 ?days in three replicates at 2% BW per day. The best performance of fish in terms of weight gain (%), specific growth rate (SGR; % per day), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) was recorded with diet D-9 containing 40% protein and 35% dextrin as a source of dietary carbohydrate. In general, lower protein consumption per kilogram BW was observed at all protein levels with the rise of the dextrin level. The apparent digestibilities of protein and lipid were not affected by the dietary treatments. At the end of the experiment the body composition of animals from all treatments showed lower percentages of moisture and higher percentages of protein as compared to the initial values. A consistent rise in protein retention efficiency was noted in fish fed diets with increasing dextrin levels. The highest protein sparing effect was found in fish fed the diet containing 40% protein and 35% dextrin.
