Abstract
Cyprinus carpio fmgerlings were fed with various levels of the commercial herbal growth promoter ('Liv.52'). After 60 days of
culture, a very positive result was found in 'Liv.52' fed fmgerlings. The administration o f Liv.52' in all the levels produced
significantly (P<0.05) higher weight gain and muscle proximate composition (moisture, protein, carbohydrate, fat, ash and
calorific contents). The utilization of feed increased significantly (P<0.05) in the supplemented diet fed fish from that of
control. Among the different percentages, 20% 'Liv.52' incorporation performed better in the overall status.
