Abstract
Feedstuffs derived from soybean have been used predominantly for many years in diet formulations for the aquacultural production of numerous fish species. The aim of the research was conducted to determine the nutritional indices of Indian Major Carp Catla catla, fingerlings for period of 60 days. In the present study to investigate the effects of soya bean on growth performance and survival in common carp (Catla catla). Soya bean was incorporated into diets at concentrations of 1%, 2%, or 3%. The control diet contained no supplement. 3% Soybean supplementation produced the best and statistically significant (p<0.05) weight gain. In general, Soybean produced better nutritional indices than 1% and 2% supplementation. The present investigation shows that incorporation of Soybean in diets for common carp results in increased growth rate. Soybean diet was most effective in stimulating fish growth.
Keywords: Soybean, Catla catla, nutritional indices, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio
