Objectives of proposed work

To collect and process enlisted ingredients for storage untild they are used for Sub-Project-3.

Methodology/Procedure

Ingredients listed in the report of Sub-Project 1 will be collected from the markets or other sources, as the case may be, in such a way and quantity as suggested in that report.
These will be then dried in an electric drying oven until constant weight is obtained.
The dried products then will be ground, seived, packed, labelled and cooled in a cool, dry place or container (e.g. desicator) until further used for analysis of gross nutrients present.

Objectives of proposed work (Sub-Project 3)

To study, in limited way, the biochemical composition of each of the enlisted ingredients/raw materials so that their calorific value and gross nutritional profile is known which later can be used in least cost formulations and manufacture of a particular fish diet.

Methodology/Procedure

Biochemical analyses will be performed in the laboratory of the Department of Fisheries Technology, BAU.
Ash, total lipid, crude protein, and crude fibre will be determined by following the procedures developed by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC, 1980).
All the samples (roughly about 50) of the collected fish feed ingredients will be analyzed minimum in triplicate.
Finally, a detailed report of the entire project (consisting of 3 sub-projects) will prepared.
