Abstract: Digestibility of dry matter and nutrients by Catla catla was investigated from three feed ingredients-Azolla, soybean and silkworm pupa incorporated at levels ranging from 0-40% incorporated into a diet consisting equal amounts of rice bran and groundnut oil cake. Total dry matter digestibility (DMD) and protein digestibility of Azolla diets were comparable with the control diet up to 20% incorporation (p>0.05), reducing there after (p 0.05) with that of the control, while fat and NFE digestibility were higher above 20 and 30% pupa incorporation, respectively. The results of this study would be useful in formulating diets for catla using the ingredients tested.
