Abstract

A
preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary
supplementation of the Pelargonium
sidoides extract on African catfish, Clarias
gariepinus growth performance, feed efficiency and body composition. The catfish
(mean body weight 1.09±0.32 g) were fed with experimental diets prepared by
using supplementation of P. sidoides
extract  (0, 5 and 10 ml 100 g^-1)
for 90 days. Growth rate significantly increased in catfish fed with P. sidoides extract-supplemented diets
in comparison with the control groups (P<0.05). Specific growth rate (SGR)
ranged from 2.29 ± 0.05 (control) to 2.54 ± 0.21 (5 ml P. sidoides extract 100 g^-1 diet). Feed conversion ratio
(FCR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) were also significantly improved in
group fed diet with 10 ml 100 g^-1P. sidoides extract than that with control groups (P<0.05). These
results demonstrate that P. sidoides
extract may be used as a potential growth promoter in catfish culture.
