I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Zoology, University of Gujrat, specializing in fish nutrition. My work focuses on fishmeal replacement and feed additives for warm-water fish species, particularly in the carp family. I have established a Fish Nutrition Research Laboratory, where I supervise PhD and MS research students. I completed my PhD in Zoology with a specialization in Fish Nutrition from the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, earning an appreciation certificate for completing my degree in six semesters. I have received the “1st Prof. Dr. Abdul Shakoor Chaudhry Gold Medal” in Animal Nutrition, and was the only Pakistani PhD student to secure an international research project during my studies. I have successfully led five funded research projects, supported by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan and the International Foundation for Science (IFS), Sweden. With over 90 peer-reviewed research articles and more than 1,400 citations, I continue to contribute to the advancement of fish nutrition science. Additionally, I provide consultancy services to fish feed manufacturing companies, assisting in the development of cost-effective and nutritionally balanced feeds.

| Zainab Zahid | MS | Dietary zinc requirements of Cirrhinus mrigalla fingerlings Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element and plays an important role in the growth of fish. This study is aimed to determine the dietary Zn requirement of mori, Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings. For this purpose, graded levels of Zn (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 mg/kg diet) from Zn-gluconate were used to formulate seven isonitrogenous, isocaloric and isolipidic experimental diets. Trial was run in triplicate. Time duration of feeding experiment was of 90 days. Results showed that dietary Zn supplementation significantly enhanced final weight (g), weight gain (g), weight gain (%), specific growth rate and feed intake (g). However, feed conversion rate and survival rate (%) remained unaffected. Moreover, Zn supplementation did not affect the whole body proximate anaylsis. Inclusion of Zn in the diet significantly increased the deposition of Zn in different tissues of fingerlings including bones, scales, eyes, liver, kidney and skin. Furthermore, an increase in the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was observed in heart, liver, kidney, intestine and fillets in response to the increasing dietary Zn levels. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) contents were reduced in response to dietary Zn supplementation in different tissues of fingerlings. Maximum weight gain (%) was recorded at 40 mg/kg Zn level which is the dietary requirement of Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings. | 2020 |
