| Abstract | ||||
| This study deals with the evaluation of the effect of two natural medicinal plants, Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Moringa oleifera (moringa) on hematological parameters of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, as an effective solution for improving fish aquaculture and fish health. A total of 200 specimens of Clarias gariepinus were divided into four groups, control (G1), 0.1 g/L of ginger water extract (G2), 0.1 g/L of thyme water extract moringa (G3) and 0.05 g/L of ginger water extract mixed with 0.05 g/L of moringa water extract (G4) groups. Each fish group was placed in 250 liters of water tank from River Nile for 4 weeks. The present results displayed positive effects of ginger and moringa supplements on growth performance and health status when added to the diet of common catfish in all treatments. They improved the growth rate of common catfish and improved blood parameters (eg, hemoglobin count, RBC count, WBC count). The current findings demonstrated that ginger and moringa supplements had a positive effect on health status as a natural source for fish aquaculture. | ||||
