Abstract:
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of garlic (Allium sativum) on growth performance in the fresh water fish Clarias batrachus (Linn.) A total number of 80 fish (average weight 20.86±0.27 g) was used. Fish were divided into four groups fed on diets containing garlic in different levels and the control group diet was without garlic. The experiment extended for two months. The results showed that, significant weight gain and growth performance increased in all groups fed on garlic. The results of this study show that addition of garlic Allium sativum to fish diet can promote growth of fish.
