“…The water quality parameters in all treatments were within the acceptable range, consistent with the findings of previous studies on spotted snakehead (Channa punctata) under various feeding regimes involving agro-industrial by-products, 42 and on silver barb (Barbonymus gonionotus) fingerlings fed with dietary blanched moringa leaf meal. 43 The specific growth rate showed a significant increase in all plant extract treatments. Similarly, the specific growth rate of spotted snakehead (C. punctata) and silver barb (B. gonionotus) was considerably improved under various feeding regimes involving agro-industrial by-products 42 and dietary blanched moringa leaf meal.…”

“…27 Importantly, Nile tilapia fed diets supplemented with GLE-5, GLE-10, SGLE-5, SGLE-10, MxLE-5, and MxLE-10 groups exhibited positive allometric growth pattern compared to the control. Similarly, silver barb (B. gonionotus) and zebrafish (Danio rerio) fed with dietary blanched moringa leaf meal 43 and plant-protein based diets 47 found positive allometric growth. On the contrary, gold fish (Carassius auratus) fed with different concentrations of carrot 48 and gurami sago (Osphronemus goramy) stocked in concrete ponds, floating net cages, and earthen freshwater ponds, 49 found negative allometric growth.…”

Background Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is predominant cultured species in aquaculture. However, there is a scarcity of literature regarding relationship between guava and star gooseberry leaf extract and the condition factor. Thus, the present study aims to investigate the effect of guava and star gooseberry leaf extract-supplemented diets on the specific growth rate, length-weight relationship, and condition factor of Nile tilapia. Methods Six hundred and thirty Nile tilapia (8.7±0.4 g) were randomly distributed among twenty-one tanks (30 fish per tank) within a recirculation system. Over a 60-day period, the fish were fed diets supplemented with 5g/Kg and 10g/Kg of guava leaf extract (GLE-5, GLE-10), star gooseberry leaf extract (SGLE-5, SGLE-10), and a mixture of both (MxLE-5, MXLE-10). Subsequently, specific growth rate, length-weight relationship, and condition factor were determined. Results After 60 days, the specific growth rate was significantly higher in all the GLE, SGLE, and MxLE groups compared to the control group. The final lengths and weights differed significantly both in the control group and all the GLE, SGLE, and MxLE groups. The analysis of the regression equation indicated a positive correlation (r = 0.970, 0.977, 0.976, 0.974, 0.974, 0.974, and 0.969) between the length and weight of Nile tilapia in the control group and in all the GLE, SGLE, and MxLE groups. The regression exponent "b" values in all the GLE, SGLE, and MxLE groups were >3, indicating a positive allometric growth pattern in Nile tilapia compared to the control (b=2.866), which exhibited a negative allometry. The final condition factor values did not differ significantly in either the control group or any of the plant extract groups. Conclusions Nile tilapia exhibited positive allometric growth patterns and maintained good health when fed with GLE, SGLE, and MxLE groups. Therefore, these plant extracts demonstrate suitability for commercial Nile tilapia production.
