This study aims to determine the effect of periodic starvation on feed efficiency and growth rate of Jelawat fish (Leptobarbus hoevenii) fingerlings. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used with four treatments and five replications, namely treatment A (control), treatment B (1 day of fasting and 1 day of feeding), treatment C (1 day of fasting and 2 days of feeding), treatment D (1 day fasting 3 days feeding). The results showed that periodic starvation had a significant effect (P<0.05) on absolute weight growth, specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed efficiency (EP) and Survival Rate (SR) but had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the absolute length growth of Jelawat fish. This study showed that the optimum absolute growth values in length, absolute weight, specific growth rate, feed efficiency, and feed conversion ratio were in treatment D with absolute length growth values of 2.40 ± 0.07 cm, growth absolute weight 2.82 ± 0.13gram, specific growth rate 1.14 ± 0.04%/day, feed efficiency 99.03 ± 1.08% and feed conversion ratio 1.01 ± 0.01 respectively. Thus the starvation has a significant result in saving the feeding cost effectively.
