Efficacy of garlic supplementation in Canola meal based diets on growth performance and body composition of Catla catla fingerlings
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.
