| Abstract: | Juveniles of P. indicus were fed testosteron propionate (TP), diethylstilbestrol (DES) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and their three levels of combinations. incorporated in tile diet for 90 days. Prawns fed hormone diet showed significant difference in growth (P < 0.01) to that of control except in the case of HCG (20 ppm) which inhibited growth. The diet containing a combination of HCG (10 ppm) and TP (1.5 ppm) showed superior growth, better feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency. assimilation and protein and lipid digestibility. Crude protein and lipid contents were also higher in the prawns feel this diet compared to control. |
