Abstract:
The current study was conducted to determine the “Effect of sorghum millet (jowar) supplementary Diet on Growth and survival of Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) (Linnaeus, 1758) Fingerlings” The experiment was conducted for 60 days. In this study 20 plastic tanks of 225 liters were used for 5 treatments with each of four replication. Fisheries respectively were homogeneously distributed in each tank at the ratio of 10 fishes per tank. Four experimental diets without sorghum millet(SM) at the ratio of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% in T0, T1, T2, T3 & T4. The weight gain was significantly higher in T4 (54.210±0.883) as compared to other groups. FCR was significant lower in T4 (1.56±0.013) as compared to other groups. SGR T4 (6.87±0.069) and GCE (0.64±0.015) were also significantly higher in T4 by this results we can conclude that addition of 20% sorghum millet can increase the growth & does not show any negative impact on fish health. During the experimental period the survival 98% found the end of experimental. Accordingly, from the results, it can be inferred that including 20% sorghum millet in the diet of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is beneficial for achieving the best fish development performance while also having an aqua-friendly influence on the rearing environment.
