Dietary requirement of tryptophan for growth and survival of the Indian major carp, Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton-Buchanan) fry.

Abstract:

:The experimental diets (40% protein) contained graded levels of tryptophan (0.60, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75%) of dietary protein. Each test diet was fed to triplicate groups of mrigal fry twice daily at 10% of the total biomass for 8 weeks. The dietary tryptophan requirement was estimated by plotting weight gain against dietary levels of tryptophan using two separate regression equations, the point of intersection of two equations was taken as optimum level, which occurred at 0.48% of the diet (1.20% of dietary protein).
