Description
Summary:As an alternative to synthetic chemicals, natural herbs can greatly improve fish's health and growth potential. This investigation aimed to explore the possibilities of oregano (Oregano vulgare L.) extract as a phytogenic feed additive in improving the growth, blood profile, carcass composition, whole-body mineralization, serum biochemistry and antioxidant activity of Catla catla (average initial weight = 9.26±0.03 g/fish). Triplicate groups of fish were fed diets having various percentages of oregano extract (0 %, 0.5 %, 1 %, 1.5 %, 2 %, 2.5 % and 3 % per kg diet) twice daily for 90 days. The findings found that parameters of growth such as weight gain, weight gain%, feed conversion ratio, survival rate, protein efficiency ratio, and specific growth rate increased substantially (p
