Abstract

Major aim in aquaculture is to diminish production cost particularly on the feeding cost and extends outputs in the shortest time. Turmeric and Ginger had been used in feed formulation to improve the immunity against infections and contribute in growth performance due to its antimicrobial properties and protein content. Hence, this study was aimed to determine the effect of turmeric peels and ginger peels on growth performance and crude protein composition in Red Hybrid Tilapia. Eighty juvenile Red Hybrid Tilapia was divided into 4 groups (Group A: 20% ginger peels + 80% commercial diets; Group B: 20% turmeric peels + 80% commercial diets; Group C: 10% ginger peels + 10% turmeric peels + 80% commercial diets and Group D: control, no inclusion of turmeric or ginger peels). Proximate analysis showed that protein content are variables with different inclusion of turmeric and ginger peels in the diet. Result shows that the inclusion of peels into commercial diet is significant in group with ginger peels as compared to control group and other treatment groups in relation to its body weight, length, girth and fish protein composition in fish. Indeed, group A, contain high protein and fat as compared to other groups. Thus, group A is more likely to have better growth performance and protein composition.
