Abstract
The present study was carried out to determine proximate analysis and selected mineral contents of “2mm grade of selected fish feeds”, (Na, K, Cu, Fe, Zn, Cr, Co, Mn, Mg, Pb, Cd). The research was performed to qualify the nutrient and to assess the content of ash and moisture and the mineral contents. Proximate composition was determined on the homogenous basis. The percentage of protein in different feed ingredients ranged from 46.16 + 0.18 to 51.50+ 0.02%. The highest protein content (51.50%) was recorded from the blue crown fish feed and the lowest value (46.18%) was recorded from the allerqua fish feed. The percentage of fibre, ash and moisture were recorded Fibre (0.34% to 0.54%), Ash (4.20 % to 6.20% ) and Moisture (4.01% to 7.15%) respectively. The highest amount of moisture (7.15%) was found in Blue crown and the lowest amount (4.01%) was found in Aqualis and the determination of selected Mineral contents. To maintain the optimum nutrient content and ultimately rapid growth in the aquaculture farms, the farmer should take proper initiatives for measuring the nutrients in feed usually offered in farms.
