Abstract

A field experiment was conducted from August to November 2023 at the Instructional Fish Farm, College of Fisheries, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The study aimed to assess water quality parameters. The experimental design included fifteen earthen ponds (8m × 8m × 1m), divided into five treatments with three replicates each. The treatments were as follows: (T1) control with pond bottom soil base, (T2) pond bottom soil with cattle dung at 20 t/ha, (T3) pond bottom soil with cattle dung at 15 t/ha, (T4) pond bottom soil with poultry droppings at 10 t/ha, and (T5) pond bottom soil with poultry droppings at 7.5 t/ha. Over the 90-day experimental period each pond evaluated the effects of cattle dung andpoultry droppings on water quality parameter. Results demonstrated that the treatment with poultry droppings at 10 t/ha (T4) significantly enhanced water quality, proving to be superior to treatments with cattle dung, followed by treatment T2 (20 t/ha cattle dung).
