. Raheela, Mawra Rafique & Zhang Qingyuan


Abstract

The goal of the current research was to determine the efficacy of diets enriched with ginger powder, ginger peels and mixture in sunflower meal-based diets on growth performance and meat quality of Labeo rohita fingerlings. Ginger powder, ginger peel powder and mixture were added in the diet at the levels of 0%, 1.5%, 3% and 4.5%. The 0% was considered as control group. The experiment was conducted in triplicate. Fingerlings were fed 5% of their live wet body weight. Seventy days were spent on the experiment. Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was used to determine how each treatment affected the quality of the meat. The data was subjected to one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results of this research revealed that, compared to the control group, a sunflower meal-based diet supplemented with ginger powder, peel powder, and mixture enhanced L. rohita growth and meat quality, and in all diets, T2 levels demonstrated superior growth and meat quality. If we compare T2 of these diets, mixture show better growth, higher SGR, low FCR and higher number of protein bands.
