Abstract
A twelve-week feeding trial was carried out to assess the nutritive potentials of kola pod husk and to assess the growth performance of Clarias gariepinus juveniles on varying levels of kola pod husk- supplementation. The objective of this study was to assess the nutritive potentials of kola pod husk on the penance of C. gariepinus and its level of incorporation in such diets. Eight acpaimental bowls (6Ox30x30cm~ were used for the experiment There were four treatments with each treatment having two repliw. The f~h had initial mean body weight of 1056g The experimental diets were formulated at 38% crude protein and the fish f.4 at 5% of their bdy weight three times per day wih graded levels of 0,103, and 30% of kola pod husk. IS frsh were stocked per replicate. Proximate composition of fih before and aRer the experiment, proximate composition of kola pod husk, the gmvh performance and nutrient utitidon of feed by fish were determined Significant differences were observed betweem the control diet and 10 -20 % inclusion of kola nut pi husk with the mnbo1 having the best growth indias. However fish on 30 % kola pod husk inclusion. performed best among kola nut pod husk anraining diets.There was no significant differen# between 30 % inclusion of kolanut pod husk and the controt diet on all parameters considered. The incMon of 30% sun -dried and kola nut pod husk pduced the best growth performance of the experimental fish and could h considered as a potential en- supplier in C. grrriepiinsrs juvenile diets subject to Mer
