consumption and their feed conversion efficiencies are higher than those of other
organisms. However the success of rearing fish and poultry depends upon the
feed given. The feed should be prepared based on the precise knowledge of their
nutritional requirements so that the optimum growth can be achieved in a given
time. The balanced diet to be given to these organisms should contain nutrients
such as protein, carbohydrate, lipid, vitamins and minerals to meet basal energy
requirements and also to ensure healthy growth.
formulated feed, protein plays an important role in the feed. It is also a costly
component. The percentage of protein in the feed should be neither more nor
less than the optimum required for the organisms. A number of experiments
have been carried out by various researchers to optimize the percentage of protein
required for
fish (Mohanty et ai, 1990 and Ogino and Saito, 1970) and for
Plant protein sources, though comparatively less expensive than animal protein
sources, may not provide all the aminoacids required by the fish and the poultry.
When supplemented by animal protein sources, they can provide the required
amount of essential aminoacids and other growth promoting substances.
In the feed of fish and poultry the main source of animal protein is
fishmeal, which not only supplies the appropriate aminoacids but also acts as feed
attractant besides being highly palatable.
its cost is steadily increasing. There is also general a scarcity of good quality
fishmeal due to its being used in other animal husbandly activities. To meet the
heavy demand, many non-conventional sources have been exploited by many
workers. Some such products are blood powder meal (Luzier et al., 1995), animal
wastes (Belal et al., 1995), industrial wastes (Kumar et al., 1977 and Samanta el
al., 1991)
(Nandeesha et al., 1986) soldier fly larvae (Bondari and Sheppard, 1987) and rat
meal (Aquino, 1987)
In the present study hidefleshings (free from hair) from the tanneries have
been processed and used as animal protein source in the feed of fish and poultry
substituting the fishmeal at various percentages.
Besides protein, the animals also require other nutrients like carbohydrates
and lipids. It is well known that supplements of carbohydrates or lipids have a
sparing effect on dietary protein being used as energy source in higher animals.
Proper balance between dietaiy protein and non-protein energy is important for the
efficient utilisation of the protem. Hence, in the diet offish and poultry, besides

oil cakes and fishmeal (protein source), grains like wheat, corn, bajra and sorgham
have been incorporated as source of energy.

required for normal growth in the right proportion but also the required quantity of
aminoacids and fatty acids. Excess of protein in the diet will be excreted along
with other nitrogenous matters or stored as abdominal fats.
Murai el al. (1985) observed that, in carp, the requirement of energy was
much lower than that in rainbow trout and that enhancement of digestible energy
with supplemental lipids showed no improvement in the growth, feed conversion
and protein utilisation in carp.

Local feeds like leftover rice, barley, wheat, fish offal and blood meal were
mixed by Asgah and Bedawi (1984) to get three feeds containing 53, 43, and 33
percent protein and on feeding carp with them, they obtained the highest
biological value in 43 percent protein feed, with increased protein (73.5 percent)
and aminoacid contents in the flesh.
Low cost ingredients like soybean meal, copra cake, corn, rice bran, napier
and carpet grass meals were tested for their digestibility in grass carp (Law, 1986).
The experiment showed that copra cake and rice bran
whereas corn meal, soybean meal, napier and carpet grass meal showed better
digestion coefficients.
Jayaram and Sherty (1980) studied the effect of three pelleted feeds

on rohu, catla and carp. Silk worm pupae and fishmeal diets showed conversion
ratios of 2.5 and 2.6 for carp.

They also observed that with the increase of age and body
weight the percentage of protein and water decreased but the fat content increased.

preferred feed particle size suitable for their mouth size, on the basis of ingestion

ingested.
The growth and feed intake responses of broilers to diets of two different
protein contents were analysed by Shariatmadari and Forbes (1993). The protein
concentrations were 65, 115, 172, 225 and 280g protein/kg. In one group of birds
the choice of two protein levels of 65 and 280g protein/kg was given. The results
showed that there was a linear increase in protein deposition with dietary protein
content upto 280g protein/kg.
Baghel and Pradhan (1988a) observed the effect of the dietary protein and
energy level on weight gain, processing loss and meat yield of broilers. They used
energy levels of 2800, 3000 and 3200 kcal/kg with different protein levels i.e. 20.
22, 23 and 25 percent for starters (0-4 weeks) and 10, 18, 19 and 21 percent for
finishers (5-8 weeks). Observation showed that diets with 25-24-21 percent of
proteins and metabolisable energy of 2800 kcal/kg are suitable for the starters,
growers and finishers.

(Krishnappa et al., 1978). The percentage of protein levels were 16, 18, 20, 22
and 24. They observed that higher protein levels gave higher weight gains upto
the fifth week whereas, from 6-12 weeks, weight gains were not different between
different ration groups and they have recommended 24 and 21 percent protein in
the rations of starters and finishers respectively.
They used 20, 22, 23 and 25 percent of protein for the starter (0-3
weeks), 18, 20, 22 and 24 percent of protein for the grower (4-5 weeks) and, 16,
18,19 and 21 percent of protein for the finisher (6-8 weeks) feeds and the energy
levels were 2800, 3000 and 3200kcal/kg respectively.
birds fed with lower energy diet contained higher proportion of moisture and
protein and lower proportion of fat and energy in their carcass flesh, whereas the
levels of energy reduced the carcass moisture in the finisher stage.

growth both during winter and summer seasons. They also observed that the daily
requirement of energy was 175 and 215 kcal/kg in summer and winter respectively
and they have recommended 2900-3000- kcal/kg of energy for pullets for both the
seasons.
Moran et al. (1992) reduced the dietary protein level from 23 percent to 20
percent in the starter (0 to 3 weeks) and from 20 percent to 17 percent in the

not affected though the feed conversion increased from the third week to sixth
week. However, processing of the birds showed fat in the abdominal cavity when
low crude protein was fed. The weight of the breast muscle also decreased and the
results showed that reduced, level of protein in the feed produced adverse effects
on the live performance.

consumption of chicks fed on high protein (28 percent) diets but depressed weight
gain and feed consumption of chicks fed on low protein (14 percent) diets. The
results showed that electrolyte balance, that provides for optimum growth,
depended upon dietary crude protein and neither photoperiod nor sex affected the
protein- electrolyte balance interaction.

The sulphur aminoacid requirement for cross breed broiler chicks was
studied by Prasad et a/.(1978). Broilers were fed on ration containing two levels
of protein (20 and 23 percent) and two levels of energy (2800 and 3100 kcal/kg).
Deficiency in methionine in the calculated value of aminoacid was supplemented
from 0.86 to 1 percent. At 3100 kcal/kg energy level six percent tallow was added
to the ration. Supplementation of methionine to fat containing diets improved the
nitrogen retention at both levels of protein. The authors observed that the dietaryenergy level and total sulphur aminoacid levels appreciably influenced the
nitrogen retention in the birds.
Tyagi and Singh (1996) studied the effect of dietery crude fibre levels ( 4.8.
6.0, 7.5 and 9.0 percent) in broiler. Dieteiy crude fibre has no significant influence
on the feed conversion, percentage eviscerated carcass yield, gizzard weight and
plasma and meat cholesterol level but had significant effect (P<.05) on bodyweight and feed intake. In winter the feed intake and body weight were
significantly affected by crude fibre level in the ration.

Research shows that long and thin pellets are much preferred by fish to
other shapes like round or flat. Hence, in the present study the fish feed was
prepared in the form of long and thin pellets.
The different raw materials used for the preparation of fish feed are wheat,
rice bran, peanut oil cake, soybean meal and fishmeal. To prepare the fishmeal.
diy fish were purchased from the local market, washed and dried in hot air oven at
60C to constant weight and then powdered.
All the other feed components were cleaned, powdered and passed through

replaced by hideflesh on protein basis at 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 percent levels.
Thus eleven feeds were prepared (viz. one
The feed components were thoroughly mixed and made into hard dough
with sufficient quantity of water. This dough was pressure cooked at 15 Ib/sq.inch

containers till use (Raj, 1978).
The feed pellets were, measured for its diameter using a screw gauge. The
zero error and the least count of the gauge were measured. The pellet was held
vertically between the studs using the ratchet. The reading of the pitch scale and
the head scale were noted and the diameter was calculated using die formula:
Reading of the pitch scale + reading of the head scale X least count + zero
correction.
Pellet stability was tested by keeping one gram of pellet in a wire gauze and
immersing it in water for one hour. The wet material with gauze was removed
without much disturbance and dried to a constant weight. All the 11 feed pellets
(one control and ten experimental) were separately pulverised, passed through 425

hideflesh on protein basis. For each type of feed a starter (for 0-4 weeks) and a
finisher (for 5-7 weeks) set of feeds with a protein level of 24 and 21 percent
respectively were prepared.
For the first type of experiment a control feed (feed 12) and five
experimental starter feeds (feeds 13 to 17) were compounded by replacing
fishmeal with hideflesh powder at 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 percent on weight basis.
In the same way 21 percent isoproteinaceous finisher feed were prepared with a
control feed (feed 18) and five experimental feeds (feeds 19 to 23).
The other components used for compounding the feed were com (Zea

3.4 RESULTS
All the components used in the preparation of feeds for fish were analysed
for the proximate composition (Table 12). Fishmeal is the usual source of animal
protein in fish feeds. Wheat flour and rice bran act as energy source. Wheat
flour, in addition, serves as a binder also. The energy values of the various feed
ingredients ranged from 3583 to 4401 cal/g.

The ingredients used in fish and broiler feeds are locally available and quite
inexpensive.
vegetable protein and it is available throughout the year. The aminoacid profile of
peanut cake shows that it is rich in arginine and the limiting aminoacids are
tiyptophan, methionine and lysine. However, in the compounded feed, the lack of
certain aminoacids is taken care of by incorporating certain ingredients which are
rich in those limiting aminoacids.
incorporated are as per the ISI (1992) recommendations. The inclusion of sesame
oil cake in the diet compensates the lack of limiting aminoacids in the peanut oil
cake.
Corn
(Stevenson and Jackson, 1981, Ahmed et al, 1996 and Isarakul and Weewipat
1991) and, besides corn, the feeds also contain small millets which are locally
available.
In fish feed, wheat flour is used as energy source besides rice bran. Kim et
al. (1984), Belal et al. (1995) and Desilva and Gunasekera (1989) have used wheat
flour in the feed for fish not only as energy source but also as a binder. The other
binding substances like gum arabic and algin are physiologically active and hence
they are considered to have growth inhibiting effects. So wheat flour was used in
the present study as a binder and as a source of energy.
The energy need of fish is much less compared to that of warm blooded
animals.
Fish need

Feed is given to fish in various forms like mash, capsules, grains, pellets

practice. Dry pellets are easy to prepare, store, transport, handle and distribute.

percentage can easily be calculated (Ali, 1980). Locally available ingredients can
easily be incorporated in the feed to reduce the cost of the feed. Conventional and
non-conventional ingredients like weeds and grasses (Raj, 1984), wild leaves (Raj.
1994) wild seeds (Daniel and Raj, 1992) hideflesh powder (Raj and Kandasamy.
1 991) and Anuradha et al.(1998) are some of the ingredients normally used in the
f e e d for aquaculture.
Buoyancy of the particles and water stability depend on the density of the
particles. By grinding the particles to uniform size loss of the contents can be
avoided (Ghittino, 1972) and

organisms, their
feeding behaviour should be taken into account. In aquaculture operation the size
a n d the shape of the feed pellets play a role in eliciting responses from animals
w h i c h capture them. The physical attributes of the pellets namely length, texture,
density, colour, flavour etc. not only affect the ability of the fish to capture but
a l s o stimulate the fish to eat them. The size and shape of the pellets are likely to
be important at each stage of the feeding sequence by influencing their
detectability, attractiveness and ease of capture (Stradmeyer et ai., 1988). Smith et
ctl. (1995) observed in salmon that though long pellets tended to ellicit rapid
response, they were more likely to be rejected than short pellets.
Tabacheck
( 1988) observed the pellet size optimal for growth is relative to the fish size
w h i c h is determined by the length of the fish and the size of their mouth.
84
The texture and hardness of the pellets also play an important role in
motivating the fish to eat them.
In the present study the length of the pellets used for the carp ranged from
1.2 to 1.5 mm. There was no distinct difference in the diameter and stability of
the pellets.
ingredient composition,
nature of the ingredients, their processing method, moisture content etc. Higher fat
content affects the gelatinization and reduces the pellet stability.
Winfree and
Stickney (1984) have reported that vegetable proteins increase the stability. In the
present study the stability of the feed pellets ranged from 95 to 97 percent. The
difference may be due to the increase in the percentage of hideflesh.
Raj and Kutty (1979) have observed a feed stability of 96.9, 93.0 and 95.8
percent in dry feed pellets of lmm diameter incorporating 60 percent (Jfiricidiu
metadata, Albizzia lebbeck and Enteralobium saman seed kernel powder
respectively. Venugopal and Kesavanath (1984) observed a feed stability of 92.8.
91.9 and 87.7 in the pellets incorporated with fishmeal, colocassia leaf and fish
silage. They also observed that increase in moisture, in turn, altered the stability
of the feed pellets.
85
Broiler feed
In broiler diets the ratio between protein and energy is an important factor.
If the dietary protein is decreased, the abdominal fat deposition may increase as
the bird increases its feed intake in an attempt to maintain its protein requirement
(Bradford and Gous, 1991).
decreases and the requirement of energy for maintenance increases and this is
reflected in commercial poultry production by stepwise decrease in the protein
content of the diets given to the birds.
In the present study the starter birds were fed with feeds containing 24
percent protein and the finisher birds with feeds containing 21 percent protein.
Unlike fish, broilers require lipids and carbohydrates for their energy
needs.
requirements.
carbohydrates and the primary function of the protein in the diet is facilitating

tissue protein formation whereas fat and carbohydiate serve as source of energy
for maintenance, growth and production. It has been observed that efficiency of

related to excess of fat deposition in visceral organs (Jackson et ai., 1982; Salmon
et al., 1983 and Lepstein et al., 1975).
broilers, the energy content of the feed have to be checked. Works carried out by
Summers et al. (1965) has recommended a metabolisable
cal/g for commercial broilers. In the present study the energy level in all the
given feed mash range from 3500 to 4100cal/g.
In the feed mash of the broilers, grains like maize, bajra and sorgham have
been incorporated as energy sources and oil cakes like peanut oil cake and sesame
oil cake are used as vegetable protein sources and fishmeal is the only animal
protein source. Attempts have been made by a number of workers to use plant
protein sources replacing the fishmeal without much success, as fishmeal
contains essential aminoacids, essential fatty acids and minerals which are
essentialfor proper growth of the birds.

fishmeal completely.
Feed for broilers is prepared afiesh each week in the form of mash as the
starter birds prefer fresh feed.
