    Abstract: The present study was carried out to estimate the apparent nutrient digestibility of soybean meal and sunflower meal for Labeo rohita. Prior to being fed with test diets, the fish were acclimatized on reference diet for about one week. Test diet-1 (soybean meal) and test diet-2 (sunflower meal) was prepared by mixing reference diet and test feed in... Show More
