  The present investigation includes isolation, enumeration and comparison of the gut microbial flora of Labeo rohita fed differentially treated Animal Fleshing (ANFL) as a sole protein source in their diets and related increase in enzyme secretion. ANFL is the proteinaceous tannery solid waste generated during leather processing and inclusion of ANFL in aqua feed will pave way for the novel alternative cheaper protein source in replacement of fish meal. Six experimental diets were formulated with differentially processed ANFL. The isolates from the gut extract were qualitatively screened and quantitatively assayed for amylase, cellulase, lipase and protease activities. The total culturable bacterial count (10 × 10 7 CFU/g) as well as the proteolytic bacterial count (27 × 10 6 CFU/g) was high in the fish gut fed with diet 5 containing the fermented AN.. View More»
