| Abstract | ||
| A study was conducted at the fish laboraty, Collage of Agriculture-Abu Ghraib. Sixty common carp Cyprinus carpio (average weight 49.17±1.67gm.) were distributed after two weeks adaptation period into 10 glass aquaria each supplied with electric heater and aerator in order to maintain temperature and oxygen levels at to suitable range of fish life.5% Dried non-enzymatic-treated Sheep rumen content (DNESRC) was added to the first group (T1), while dried enzymatic-treated (multienzyme complex) sheep rumen content (DESRC) with similar percentage was added to the second group (T2), simultaneously DNESRC with 10% was added to the third group (T3) and DESRC with similar percentage was added to the fourth group (T4). Control group was fed on Experimental diet without dried rumen content. Experimental fish were fed on 2% of wet body weight and they were weight every ten days in order to calculate the increase of fish and correct amount of food supplied. The Experiment was started on 28th, Oct. 2015 and ended on 6th, Jan.2016. Non-significant differences were noticed among groups in feed and protein intake. However the control and T2 groups exhibited greater average weight gain (22.5 and 18.75 g/fish respectively) as compared with the other groups. Highest feed conversion efficiency was for control group and T2 (31.06% and 26.96% respectively)which differed significantly (P<0.05) from other treatments as well as feed conversion ratio of control group was the best (3.25) followed T2 (3.72) and different significantly (P≤0.05) from other treatments. It can be concluded the possibility of adding DESRC to the common carp diet with10% without any deleterious influence on feed efficiency and feed conversion rate | ||
