| Abstract | This study evaluated the effect of dietary protein level on growth performance and haemato-immunological parameters of juvenile genetically improved farm tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, fed five iso-caloric diets of dietary protein levels 25–45 %, formulated using white fish, casein, gelatine, soybean, cottonseed and rapeseed meals as protein sources. The diets influenced the significant increase in final weight, condition factor and whole body lipid composition (P < 0.05). Conversely, the 25 % protein diet resulted in a significantly (P < 0.05) lower weight gain and higher feed conversion ratio than the 30–45 % protein diets. Protein efficiency ratio and protein retention efficiency of the fish significantly reduced as dietary protein level increased (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, hepatosomatic index increased with dietary protein. Haemato-immunological parameters, white blood cell, red blood cell, immune globulin M, superoxide dismutase and lysozyme activity, were not significantly affected by the dietary protein levels (P > 0.05). Quadratic regression model, y = −0.493x 2 + 41.03x + 267.3, informed that 41.6 % dietary protein supported maximum growth of tilapia juvenile. Fish fed 35 % protein diet had a similar growth performance, but better protein utilization than the 40 % group. These results demonstrated possibility of reducing protein level in commercial feeds, thus lowering feed costs . |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
