Evaluation And Growth Of Gambusia Affinis On Panchagavya Treated Spirulina Platensis

Abstract

In the present experiment panchagavya supplemented Spirulina platensis was used as supplementary feed for Gambusia affinis. After 90 days, G. affinis showed maximum growth performance and survival ability.  To determine the impact of S. platensis supplemented with panchagavya and on growth and biochemical characteristics of mosquito fish G. affinis. Proximate body composition of G. affinis, results showed that there is a significant difference were observed in fish weight (g), protein (%), carbohydrate (%), lipid (%) and pigment (%). The highest protein, carbobydrate and lipid contents (P < 0.05) were found at fish maintained at panchagavya and other diets. It could be concluded that panchagavya treated S. platensis can be supplemented to G. affinis diet to improve growth performance without any adverse effect on feed efficiency or survival rate.
