    Effects of Feed Additive Raafres AQ on Feeding, Growth, Tissue Indices and Leucocytes Count in Carp Juveniles
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India)Cochin, 2010) James, R.; Sampath, K.
    The present study concludes that, raafres AQ at 5% in C. mrigala and 7.5% in L. rohita elicited better performance in feed intake, growth, FCR, PER, tissue indices and leucocyte counts than other treatments. Hence, 5 and 7.5% raafres AQ are considered as the optimum dose for C. mrigala and Lrohita respectively. Comparatively, the optimum dose of raafres AQ in L. rohita influenced percentage of weight gain, conversion efficiency and PER with less feed intake, feeding rate and FCR than the optimum dose of raafres AQ in C. mrigala. Besides, 5% raafres AQ incorporated diet resulted in similar impact on percentage of weight gain, conversion efficiency, FCR and PER in both carps and hence, the requirement of high dose in L. rohita might be nullified. Hence it is recommended to utilize raafres AQ in feed for better aquaculture production
