摘　　要：The antimicrobial activity of powdered Moringa oleifera leaves on the performance of Clarias gariepinus juveniles was investigated.A total of 180 C.gariepinus hatchery-bred juveniles were obtained,acclimated in a 4×4×3 feet concrete tank,and fed adlib with 1.5 mm Coppens for one week.Initial mean weight(g)and length(cm)of sample fish were measured and randomly distributed in triplicates of 15 fish/tank into twelve concrete tanks of dimension 4×4×3 feet(T_(1A-C)-T_(4A-C)).Four treatment diets were formulated,by adding graded levels of powdered M.oleifera leaf to the fish feed,using starch as binder.T_(1)(control)had no moringa inclusion(control),while T_(2),T_(3),and T_(4) respectively had 5 g,10 g,and 15 g/kg inclusion.Length(cm)and weight(g)of fish were measured fortnightly,while haematology and serum profile,bacteria in the gut were collected at the end of the study.One-way Analysis of Variance(ANOVA)was used to analyze the data,and Duncan’s multiple range test was employed for mean separation.Results revealed a significantly higher growth response in T_(3) compared to other treatments(P<0.05).Haematological and seriological profile showed a boost in immunity of fish fed with the additive.Bacterial load in the fish gut was significantly reduced(P<0.05)as inclusion of additive increased.Therefore,for optimum fish production addition of 10g of M.oleifera/Kg of feed is recommended,as it gave the best result in terms of growth(P<0.05).
