Abstract:
Dried red and white meat of oil sardine was fed to albino rats along with protein free basal diet. Simultaneusly controls were also run with casein and protien free basal diet. The study was conducted for a period of one month. The results showed that the PER is higher for fish fed animals than casin fed animals. Similarly the enzyme activities of lipase and protease were also high in fish fed animals. The difference between red and white meat in PER and the enzyme activities are also reported.
