Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine the growth and biochemical performance of Indian Major Carp Catla catla, fingerlings for a period of 30 days. In the present study to examine the effects of Vigno mungo (Black gram) and Vigna unguiculata (Black-eyed pea) on survival, feed conversion ratio (FCR), specific growth rate (SGR) and biochemical parameters such as carbohydrates, protein, and in common carp (Catla catla). Vigno mungo (Black gram), Vigna unguiculata (Black-eyed pea) and combined feed were incorporated into diets at concentrations of 1%. The control diet contained no supplement. Combined diet at 1% concentration produced the best and statistically significant (p<0.05) weight gain, survival, FCR and SGR in Catla catla as compared to Vigno mungo (Black gram), Vigna unguiculata (Black-eyed pea) and control diet. Vigno mungo (Black gram) and Vigna unguiculata (Black-eyed pea) at 1% produced the best and statistically significant (p<0.05) carbohydrate, protein and lipids, in Catla catla as compared to soya bean and control diet. The present investigation shows that incorporation of Vigno mungo (Black gram) and Vigna unguiculata (Black-eyed pea) in diets for common carp results in increased growth rate and biochemical performance. The combined diet was most effective in stimulating fish growth than individual Vigno mungo (Black gram) and Vigna unguiculata (Black-eyed pea) diets.
