Abstract: A 56-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the suitability of dehulled lima beans supplemented with Gliricidia sepium Leaf Protein Concentrate (LPC) as a replacement for either cooked or toasted dehulled soybean in the diet of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings. Dehulled soybeans were replaced with raw, cooked or toasted lima bean supplemented with LPC. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) in the weight gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio and feed conversion efficiency.
