Abstract: This present study was conducted to show the growth improvement and nutritional status of fresh water fish,
Oreochromis mossambicus when fed with garlic and onion integrated with coconut oil cake and wheat flour. Fish were fed on diet containing garlic and onion in different concentration (5%, 10%) during different days (15, 30, 45, and 60) of the experiment. The overall influence of these feeds on growth and concentrations of biochemical constituents (protein, carbohydrate and fat) of
Oreochromis mossambicus were found to be higher in the fishes fed with garlic (10%) followed by the onion supplemented diet and control after 60 days. From the results it can be concluded that garlic containing diet stimulates the growth and also increased the nutritional status of
Oreochromis mossambicus than with onion incorporated diet and control diet.
