This study was conducted to determine the potential nutritional value of differently heat-treated (121°c 10,20,30 min) culban (vicia peregrina) seed at different levels (0,20,30,40%) in diet as a plant protein source for mirror carp (cyprinus carpio). fish fingerlings were randomly allocated at a stocking rate of 12 fish per aquaria with three replicate aquariums under each dietary treatment. the fish were hand fed twice a day at 8.30 am and 16.30 pm at 3% of their body weight during the experimental period of 60 days. the fish fed experimental diets grew from an initial body weight of 7 g to final body weight of 20 g for rearing during the course of the experiment. growth parameters,feed utilization and whole body proximate composition were found similar in all experimental groups. it is concluded that heat-treated culban seed can be successfully used as an inexpensive plant protein source a level of 40% (121°c 10-30 min) in mirror carp diets without adverse effect on fish performance.
