All growth performance parameters were computed and variations in the mean fish size were tested using one-way ANOVA and the result indicates on weight gain, daily growth rate, specific growth rate, survival rate, Fulton condition factor, food conversion ratio, food conversion efficiency and net production values were best with the 35%CP as compared with other.

Mean equal size and number of cultured juveniles with equivalent volume of ponds water were stocked at a ratio of 2 fish/m2and feeds were given at a rate recommended by ICA (1991) on proximate length-weight and appropriate feeding rates relationships for about 150 days in triplications. The homogenization processes of ingredients were done as described in NAERLS, (2002) as processing, handling and storage. The processes of quantifying the amount of each feed ingredients to be put together were calculated using Pearson two Square methods and algebraic equations. Nutrient content analyses of experimental ingredients were done and calculated by following AOAC (1990).

The study was conducted at Jimma University College of agriculture and veterinary medicine to show how to formulate 35%CP from low-cost locally available ingredients of poultry droppings, maize bran, barley bran and wheat bran, option for small-scale farmers for the best growth performance and to increase yield production of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in pond culture.
