Effects of Euphorbia hirta plant leaf extract on growth performance, hematological and organosomatic indices of hybrid catfish, Clarias macrocephalus × C. gariepinus

摘要: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Euphorbia hirta leaf extract on growth performance, hematological and organosomatic indices hybrid catfish, Clarias macrocephalus × C. gariepinus. The fish were treated with 0 (control), 300, 500 800 mg/kg (ppm) for 90 days. weight gain, average daily rate, specific rate at significantly higher levels in from all treatment groups days 75 90, while feed efficiency protein ratio consistently day 60 up until 90. conversion decreased 90 when compared control group, survival different 30 90; a observed fed 800 mg/kg. highest viscerosomatic index intraperitoneal fat group 500 mg/kg (p < 0.05). hepatosomatic increased alongside increasing E. extract. total white blood cell count 30, but showed levels. Hematocrit percentage Lymphocyte, eosinophil thrombocyte shown be (p < 0.05) compared. In conclusion, 300 mg/kg could improve some catfish.
