Abstract	Feeding trial was conducted to examine the protein sparing effects of carbohydrate in Clarias batrachus. an attempts to reduce the feed cost. Clarias batrachus fingerlings mean weights of 8.32 ±0.04g were randomly allotted into a group of 15jishcs per tank in triplicate of 10 treatment. They were fed on nine experimental diets and a commercial catfish reference diet (CRD). The formulated diets have three levels of carbohydrate (5, 10 and 20%) of thre carbohydrate source (cornfibre, cornstarch and glucose) and three levels of crude protein (30% 25% and 2()%). The results of the trial showed significant difference (/9<0.05) in all the carbohydrate soures fed to C. Clarias batrachus at different levels of carbohydrate/ protein ratios. However, of the three carbohydrate sources, corn starch and glucose spared protein growth while corn fibre did not.
