Summary, etc. The present study aimed to find out the feasibility of using water spinach leaves as a low cost plant protein source and dietary evaluation of the formulated diet through growth trials employing post larvae of Macrobrachium rosenbergii, thus to determine the optimum level of substitution of spinach leaf meal. The experiment was done for a period of 60 days. A comparison has also been made between the diets having various levels of inclusion of water spinach leaf meal over the control diet without spinach leaf meal.

Five isonitrogenous test diets T1 to T5 were prepared with 30% crude protein. The feed ingredients used were clam meat, Ipomoea aquatica leaf meal, wheat bran, ground nut oil cake, tapioca flour, vitamin mineral mixture and sunflower oil. The control diet T1 was prepared by using all ingredients mentioned above, without Ipomoea leaf meal. The test diets T2, T3, T4 and T5 were prepared by using all ingredients mentioned above and replacing clam meat with water spinach leaf meal at inclusion levels of 12 %, 24 % 36 % and 48 % respectively.

Results showed better growth rates in prawn post larvae fed with diets (T2) containing 12% Ipomoea leaf meal. Among the test diets, T2 recorded highest growth rate (603.63 mg). Specific growth rate, food conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio also showed better performance of prawn post larvae fed on test diet with 12% inclusion of spinach leaf meal. The highest SGR (3.67) and PER (2.99) were recorded in prawns fed on diet T2 and lowest SGR (2.68) and PER (1.48) were obtained with diet T5. The survival rate of post larval prawns were not found to be significantly influenced by the various test diets used and the survival ranged from 77.5% to 82.5%.
