The goal of the current research was to determine the efficacy of diets enriched with garlic powder, garlic peels and mixture in canola meal-based diets on growth performance and body composition of Catla catla fingerlings. Garlic powder, garlic peels and mixture was added in the diet at the levels of 0%, 1.5%, 3% and 4.5%. The 0% was considered as control group. The experiment was conducted in triplicate. Fingerlings were fed 5% of their live wet body weight. Seventy days were spent on the experiment. The data was subjected to two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results of this research revealed that, compared to the control group, a canola meal-based diet supplemented with garlic powder, garlic peels and mixture enhanced C. catla growth performance and body composition, and in all diets, T 3, T 7 and T 11 levels demonstrated superior growth performance and body composition. If we compare T 3, T 7 and T 11 of these diets garlic powder, garlic peels and mixture showed better growth higher SGR, low FCR.
