| Abstract | Juvenile H. longifilis were fed raw and 60 min. boiled jackbean seed meal (JBSM) at different dietary levels for 56 days. Evaluation of some of the haematological parameters showed that haematocrit (PCV), red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count, haemoglobin (Hb) concentration and lymphocytes decreased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing dietary level of JBSM. Boi ling JBSM for 60mim slightly improved the quality such that fish fed diets with 10% fishmeal substitution had similar PCV and WBC count to those fed the control diet. Other measures to improve the quality of boiled JBSM protein are suggested to enable its use in place of fishmeal at moderate dietary levels in fish production. |
