Heamato-immunological and physiological responses of Labeo rohita fingerlings to dietary fermented Jatropha curcas protein concentrate (original) (raw)

Jatropha protein concentrate (JPC) is toxic due to phorbol ester and antinutritional factors. Detoxification through solid state fermentation (SSF) was studied, assessing its effects on growth and physiological responses in Labeo rohita fingerlings over a 45-day feeding trial with varying diets. Results indicate that fermented JPC (FJPC) can be safely used up to 20% in fish diets, improving growth performance and health markers, while non-detoxified JPC negatively affects haemato-immunological parameters.
