Abstract:
The present experiment was conducted for 60 days to assess the “effect of Brewery waste on Water Quality Parameters of Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758) Fingerlings”. This experiment was carried out from April to June 2023. The five different inclusion levels of Brewery waste i.e. T₀ (without Brewery waste), T₁ (10%), T₂ (20%), T₃ (30%) and T₄ (40%) were used to fed the fishes. The fishes were fed @ 3% body weight twice in a day. During the whole experimental period, there was no bad impact of brewery waste can be seen on water quality parameters as the values of water quality parameters show only narrow variation in various treatments. The measurements for the study of water quality parameters as Water temperature (25 to 29.7 °C), pH (6.1 to 8.5), Dissolved oxygen (6.0 to 8.5 mg/l), Electrical conductivity (140 to 182 µS/cm), Total alkalinity (110 to 151 mg/l) and Total hardness (400 to 510 mg/l) were monitored at fortnight period of interval. On the basis of these results, it can be concluded that Brewery waste is safe for water quality and favorable for the growth of Cyprinus carpio fingerlings.
