Year: 1993

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to ascertain the nutritive value of natural lipid sources for juveniles of P. indicu.~, Sixlccn \nisonitrogenous and isocaloric diets were prepared using twelve naturally available oils, either individually or in combinl1tion" \nThe diets containing marine animal lipid sources produced significantly better grwoth. FeR, PER and protein rctcn(iull \nin prawns than the diets containing only plant oils. Among the individual marine animal lipids, prawn head oil appeared \nto be a suitable lipid source. The diets containing a mixture of plant and animal lipids produced superior growth 'than \nindividual plant or animal lipids (except prawn head oil), Among the rruxtures of lipid sources, a combination of cod \nliver oil, soybean oil and lecithia proved to be superior.
