Abstract
Effects of varying dietary protein levels, 14, 28, 38, 48 and 58%, on the blood parameters of juvenileCyprinus carpio were studied. It was found that the various blood cells and related parameters respond differently to the variation in the dietary protein. Fishes fed with low (14%) and high (58%) level protein showed lesser values of red blood cells, haemoglobin content, haematocrit, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, total leucocyte count (TLC), differential leucocyte count (DLC) and coagulation time when compared with optimum protein level (38%). On the other hand, immature red blood cells, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and mean corpuscular volume values of fishes fed with low (14%) and high (58%) level proteins were higher than that of the fish fed with optimum (38%) protein level.
