High protein content, excellent amino acid profile, absence of anti-nutritional factors (ANFs), high digestibility and good palatability fishmeal (FM), make it a major source in aquaculture. Now, FM is at risk due to an increase its demand price. So, there greatest need find cheap sources replace FM. Plant are acknowledged best their large availability low cost. However, they have certain ANFs, deficiency some acids, nutrient bioavailability poor presence starch fiber. These contrasting...

Metal contamination in water bodies globally poses risks to ecosystems and human health. In Pakistan, sources are impacted by toxic metals microbial pollutants, affecting Nile Tilapia, a widely consumed fish Punjab. This study assessed heavy metal microbiological tilapia from the Ravi Chenab Rivers nearby farms (Head Muhammad Wala, Shorkot, Rangpur). Heavy metals, including arsenic, chromium, cadmium, mercury lead, were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Arsenic ranged lowest...

ABSTRACT The present study was designed to estimate the zinc (Zn) requirement of Labeo rohita juveniles fed practical diet. Treatments used for were consisted six experimental diets supplemented with graded levels Zn (0, 21, 42, 63, 84 and 104 mg/kg diet) from gluconate. For each diet, two replicates allocated, 18 fish stocked in replicate. feeding trial lasted 90 days. Results showed that final weight, absolute weight gain, gain% specific growth rate increased increasing dietary up 42...

The present feeding trial was conducted to assess the optimal level of phytase supplementation required for maximum nutrient absorption and growth performance Labeo rohita fingerlings fed canola meal-based diet. A standard diet having 30.21% protein an energy value 4.26 kcalg−1 used as reference experimental similar caloric density formulated by using 70% 30% meal test ingredient. This then divided into seven diets were supplemented graded levels (0, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250 1500 FTU kg−1)...

Phytic acid's presence in low-cost Moringa by-products effect the availability of important nutrients, diminishing fish quality and blood composition fish. Phytate having chelating effects with nutrients minerals, can be reduced by supplementation phytase enzyme. Without use enzyme, plant meal may cause water pollution decrease health that results higher culture cost. Therefore, current study was designed to check improvement overall performance Catla catla fingerlings fed product-based...

Several anti-nutritional substances are found in plant derivatives for example phytate, that make the nutrients and minerals unavailable to fish, hence leading poor growth performance. Presence of anti-nutrient factor such as phytate is a chelated compound need enzyme its breakdown availability improve fish growth. This research work was performed check improvement overall performance Cyprinus carpio fingerlings by help phytase addition Moringa oleifera by- products based diet. Combination...

Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the most widely grown and consumed fruits in Pakistan all around world due to their distinct aroma taste. In 2018, anthracnose symptoms were observed on banana fruit harvested from different plantations Sindh- a major producing Province Pakistan. Approximately, 25% collected infected. The consisted small brown reddish-brown spots surface then became sunken lesions as disease progressed. To identify pathogen, infected tissues (5 mm diameter) margin sterilized by...
