Abstrakt: A 60 days feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of dietary Betaine HCL pepsin on growth and survival of striped snakehead (Channa striata), fingerlings. The fishes were collected from wild habitat and distributed homogenously at the rate of 10 fishes/tank in six treatment group each with four replicates. Six iso-nitrogenous (52% crude protein) diets (T2 - T6) were formulated with 0.5% Betaine HCL Pepsin except in control (T1). The weight gain was significantly higher in T2 (28.814±0.281g) as compared to other groups. Specific growth rate (6.498±0.054) and gross conversion efficiency (0.567±0.006) of experimental fishes in T2 were significantly higher than the other treatment groups. Whereas, the food conversion ratio was significantly lower in T2 (1.764±0.020) followed by T1 (1.896±0.009). It may conclude that addition of 0.5% Betaine HCL Pepsin in diets increases the growth, feed digestibility and reduce the feed loss. By this study, we can conclude that by adding Betaine HCL pepsin in the diet enhanced feed utilization reflected with significantly higher growth rate in experimental fishes when diet contain plant protein (SBM 28%) in combination of animal protein (FM 57%) for the striped snakehead fish. Thus, the study revels within of Betaine HCL Pepsin as a feed additive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
