Abstract
The digestibility of locally available ingredients namely fish meal, rice protein, squid, shrimps, fish oil, minerals, vitamins and salt by juveniles of Oreochromis mossambicus was evaluated for period of seventy five days. The juveniles were fed with formulated diet twice a day at average body weight and their excreta was siphoned out fort nightly. The proximate analyses of feed and fecal matter were carried out just after the collection of samples. The result indicated that digestibility coefficient of lipids was highest (80.56%) followed by carbohydrates (76.71%), protein (67.23%) and ash (43.76%).
