Abstract:The phytochemical and proximate analysis of sweet potato (Ipomea batatas) leaves were carried out to ascertain its bio-active compounds and proximate composition, and their importance in aquaculture. Subsequently, four different feeds were produced from a thirty-five (35) percent crude protein feed using I. batatas aqueous leaves extracts as follows: Do (Oml/kg); D1 (50ml/kg); D2 (100ml/kg) and D3 (150ml/kg). One hundred and fifty (150) sub-adult Clarias gariepinus were distributed to five groups in triplicate… Show more
