This research aims to evaluate the impact of Ipomoea aquatica supplementation on the growth and health of Anabas testudineus.
Conducted a 60-day feeding trial with five isonitrogenous diets.
Used varying levels of Ipomoea aquatica: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%.
Analyzed growth parameters, amino acid composition, and biochemical markers.
15% inclusion of Ipomoea aquatica yielded the highest final weight and specific growth rate.
Enhanced amino acid composition, especially essential amino acids like methionine and tryptophan.
Increased total immunoglobulin and lysozyme activities, indicating improved immunity.
