Great expansion of the aquaculture industry is hamstrung by high feed cost. A 91-day feeding trial was therefore conducted using fingerlings of Clarias gariepinus (1.08±0.05 g) to study the effect of mixed feeding schedule of varying dietary protein contents on the growth performance, feed utilization and cost-effectiveness. Coppen feed served as control 1 (A) while control 2 (B) was a basal diet formulated to contain 35% crude protein. Different mixed feeding schedules of these two diets were developed. These include: one day Coppen followed with one-day basal diet feeding (1A+1B), two days Coppen followed with one-day basal diet feeding (2A+1B) and three days Coppen are followed with one-day basal diet feeding (3A+1B). Growth performance, feed utilization, survival and carcass composition were significantly better (p<0.05) between A and 3A+1B in terms of final weight, daily weight gains as well as specific growth rate. On the whole, 13.02% feeding cost savings relative to A was obtained for fingerlings maintained on 3A+1B. Fish farmers should adopt this mixed feeding schedule for cost-effective culture of C. gariepinus.
