The feed was supplied @ 5% of wet body weight of fish. The crude
protein ranges from 27.1 to 35.2%. Protein content(35.2%) feed containing ingredients of Trt.-I was better for the
fish growth (0.056 gm day-1) but was the lowest survival rate (75%) followed by 30% protein content feed of Trt.-II.
28% protein content feed Diet (Trt.-III) without animal protein was the poorest growth rate (0.039 g day-1) with
highest survival rate (90%) among the tasted feed. It was observed that feed with higher protein level was better for
the fish growth and the growth of fish was different significantly among the treatment except the treatment fish
meal+ Groundnut cake+ rice bran + wheat flour and commercial cattle feed. Thus animal protein containing
artificial feed, on the basis of growth performance can be induced in the feed formulation of fry of common carp.
