The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of poultry litter on water quality (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, free CO2, alkalinity, total solids, nitrates and phosphates), and investigation of pathogenic bacteria viz. Salmonella sp., E. coli and Pseudomonas sp. in manures used for treatment and gills and skin of exposed fish Cyprinus carpio. 210 fingerlings of C. carpio obtained from Government Fish Hatchery, Jammu were acclimatized for one month with conventional feed and daily water exchange. The experiment tubs were cleaned, fresh soil was spread to 5 cm height and treated with lime @ 250 kg/ha. After three days of liming, the tubs were filled with water at 40 cm depth. Experimental water in tubs were treated in duplicates with poultry litter at low (TP1) @ 8000 kg/ha, medium (TP2) @10000 kg/ha and high (TP3) @ 12000 kg/ha doses, respectively along with control. Water quality parameters were within tolerable range for C.carpio. At the end of the experiment, E. coli was detected in fishes from TP2 and TP3 while presence of Salmonella was found in fishes from all the treatments of poultry manure. However, samples of poultry litter were also positive for E. coli and Salmonella. Pseudomonas was neither detected in treated fish samples nor in samples from poultry litter. These observations indicate poultry manure at lower doses is effective to stimulate productivity with conducive range of water quality with lesser pathogenic hazards.
