Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Alema feed incorporated with rosemary, Turmeric, and garlic with three different levels of inclusion towards immunity response, growth, and body proximate composition of Nile tilapia. Experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditioning at Sebeta National Fishery and Aquatic Life Research Center. In the experiment, 10 experimental diets were evaluated and Alema feed was used as a control. The result showed that the mean daily growth rate of garlic 8%feed (0.48 ± 0.04a) was significantly (p < 0.05) highest from other experimental diets and the lowest growth rate was observed in diets of rosemary 8% (0.40 ± 0.01e) and 12% (0.40 ± 0.06e) inclusions. The FCR values of all experimental diets were greater than 2. Body proximate composition of Nile tilapia showed a statistical difference (p < 0.05) between experimental diets. The highest protein and ash content was recorded within the garlic 8% diet, which was found d 19.25 ± 0.22 and 1.68 ± 0.01a respectively. The crude lipid content of Nile tilapia fillet found in Alema feed (1.61 ± 0.25a) was the highest in other experimental diets. The hematology responses of Nile tilapia were statically significant (p < 0.05) between experimental diets. In hemoglobin content, red blood cell, and platelet count fish feed containing 8% of garlic and 92% Alema feed show significantly high (p < 0.05) immunity development than other experimental diets. Overall incorporation of garlic with 8% to commercial fish feed has advantages to improve the immune response of fish.
