Abstract

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of organic (poultry dropping, cow dung, and mustard oil cake) and inorganic (urea) fertilizers on production of Moina in plastic container (2.5L) with or without aeration. Under this condition, the total production of Moina was significantly (p<0.05) higher in both aerated (4950 individuals) and non-aerated (6505 individuals) containers when poultry dropping was used. Reproduction rate and maturation time were studied in the beakers (100 ml) with poultry dropping, cow dung, mustard oil cake, and urea while the aeration was absent. Maximum reproduction rate was 11 individual per mature species with the lowest maturation time of 78 hours for poultry dropping treatment. Among the organic and inorganic fertilizers used in this experiment, poultry dropping was found to be the most suitable for Moina culture in terms of total production, maximum rate of reproduction and the lowest time requirement for maturation.
