520	3		_aThe nutritional quality of five locally available sources of protein such as clam meat, squid waste, squilla shrimp head waste and silkworm pupae was evaluated in the feed for the giant freshwater prawn, macrobrachium rosenbergii, with a view to develop a feed which is cost effective. The feeds were prepared using these locally available ingredients along with groundnut oil cake, wheat bran,tapioca flour, supplevite (a commercially available vitamin- mineral mixture) and sardine oil and maize oil mixture. The protein sources tested were not found to be grossly deficient in their nutritional quality as good survival rates of over 90% were obtained when they were used as the main protein sources in the feed of juvenile prawn. Highest growth rate was obtained for clam and squid based diets, intermediate growth response with squilla and shrimp head based diets and the lowest growth among the various sources was given by silkworm pupae diet. Feed conversion efficiency was higher for clam and squid based diets, while intermediate feed efficiency was noted for squilla and shrimp head meal diets. Lowest feed efficiency was observed for silkworm pupae diet. Protein efficiency ratio showed a similar pattern. In the second experiment, substitution with carbohydrate for protein was found to be promising from an economic point of view. It was found that lowering of protein level from 35 to 30% could be achieved by increasing the carbohydrate level from 20 to 30% without affecting the growth , survival and feed efficiency. Similarly, protein level could be lowered from 30 to 25% by increasing carbohydrate by 10% from 20% level. This suggest that a 5% reduction of costly protein could be achieved by including 10% more of carbohydrate which will be able to reduce the cost of the feed with out sacrificing the nutritional quality of the formulated feed.
