Abstract

Seven experimental diets containing 0, 1, 2, and 3% of Basil and Ginger oils were used to study their effects on growth performance, survival, feed consumption, body composition, and hematological indices on Red tilapia Oreochromis Spp. fingerlings. Fourteen glass aquaria (60×40×40 cm, 96-L capacity) were used, two aquaria per treatment. Ten fish with the same average weight (39.4±0.3 g/fish) were stocked in each aquarium. Fish were fed 3% of their body weight, twice a day for 45 days. Higher significance (P<0.05) was found in final body weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio , and productive protein value ‘between groups of fish were fed diets containing basil and ginger oils and control diet (0.0% oil). Increasing levels of basil and ginger oils led to enhancing growth, feed conversion ratio and nutrient retention efficiencies. Basil oil diets at different levels increased  growth performance and feed consumption and were better than Ginger oil diets, while ginger oil diets recorded an increase in the number of white blood cells compared to the control diet. The inclusion of 3% basil oil in the diet exhibited superior results compared to other tested levels, suggesting its recommendation for use in red tilapia diets.
