A 12-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the nutrient utilization, growth performance, and hematological indices of Cyprinus carpio var. communis fingerlings fed diets based on aquatic macrophyte, Ceratophyllum demersum as a replacement of fish meal (FM). Six isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets containing graded levels of C. demersum 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%, respectively, as replacer of FM were formulated. Total of 360 fingerlings with an initial weight of 3.65 ± 0.98 g were randomly stocked in 70 L plastic tanks water volume 60 L connected with a continuous flow-through system (1–1.5 L/min) for each treatment and were run in triplicate having 20 fish in each tank. At the end of the feeding trial, it was observed that the C. carpio var. communis fingerlings receiving 5% and 10% C. demersum in the diet showed improvements in live weight gain (LWG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and protein efficiency rate (PER). While further addition of C. demersum as a replacement of FM from 15% to 25% led to the progressive decline in the values of LWG, SGR, FCR, and PER. Hematological data also exhibited a linear declining trend beyond the 10% C. demersum replacement level. The fish fed with higher inclusions of C. demersum in each diet significantly (P<0.05) affected whole body composition with the lowest protein and fat amounts recorded at higher replacement levels significantly (P<0.05). The highest protein and fat contents were observed at 5% and 10% diets. Except serum glucose, cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), the other serum indices exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing inclusion of C. demersum in the diet. The results of the present study clearly demonstrated that the inclusion of 10% C. demersum did not affect the growth and other parameters of C. carpio var. communis fingerlings compared to the 50% FM diet. However, it is recommended that 10% FM can be substituted without compromising the growth and nutritional quality of fish.

“…These findings are in agreement with Nsofor et al (2012) [14] who says fish fed with Moringa Leaf Meal (MLM) in replacement of fishmeal at 60% inclusion rate resulted in the lowest growth response due to the low palatability of the diets which may lead to poor feed intake. However, Tabassum et al (2021) [13] reported that partial replacement of fishmeal with Moringa oleifera Leaf Meal (MOLM) was not effective beyond 10% inclusion levels in terms of growth performance and nutrient utilization. The highest weight gain was achieved in 3% MAD based diet, followed by 3% MHD and 3% MED based diets respectively.…”

This study was conducted to test the effect of Moringa oleifera processed diet processed with Aqueous, Ethanol and Hexane solvents on the growth performance, nutrient utilization and survival rate of Clarias gariepinus. Fish having average initial weight of 9.8±0.1 g were stocked in triplicate at the stocking density of 20 fish. 7 diets were formulated with a Commercial Reference Diet (CRD) in which CRD and ZSD serving as control. Others such as MAQ, MET and MHX were formulated with 3% and 5% Moringa inclusion rate. Fish were fed twice daily at 5% of their body weight, water quality parameters were monitored and weight of the fish were taken biweekly. At the end of the feeding trial, the growth performance and nutrient utilization of fish fed 3% Moringa based diets were significantly (p>0.05) higher than 5% Moringa based diets. All experimental samples grew uniformly at the beginning of the experiment and at 2. Diet 3% MAQ, 3% MHX, ZSD, 3% MET and CRD gave the best weight beginning from week 2. All the 5% diets administered to the fish did not produce increase in weight at the same pace as 3% diets. Fish fed 3%MAQ consistently maintained superior performance followed by 3% MHX, ZSD and 3% MET. There was a significant (p>0.05) effect of diet on the survival of the experimental fish. All samples fed 5% inclusion and those fed 3% MAQ had maximum survival while CRD had the least survival rate. Findings in the study shows that inclusion of processed Moringa have positive impact on the diet of Clarias gariepinus as it promotes fish growth performance and nutrient utilization at optimum inclusion level.

“…Dietary preparations from MO were included in many animal diets such as chicken [113], fshes [114,115], sheep [116], cows [117], and rabbits [118]. For chicken, Moringa diets formulated from leaves and stems improved the growth performance and carcass trait [119], and productivity and the quality of egg production [120].…”

Plants could be used for multiple medicinal purposes. Moringa oleifera (MO) is considered the most famous plant used for this purpose. The present review aimed to spot the light on the recent medicinal, biochemical, and nutritional applications of MO. The plant contains a huge number of nutrients such as fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, polysaccharides, minerals, and vitamins. It has been used to control glucose, lipids, proteins, minerals, vitamins, hormones, and antioxidants in many animals and human models. Its medicinal applications are also varied and wide; it could be used to control and manage lots of disorders. Extracts and isolated ingredients from the plant open the way for many researchers all over the world to study its biochemical and medicinal impact on many experimental and clinical models. The present review spots the light on the recent medicinal and biochemical significance of MO opening the discussion and demonstrating the strengths and weaknesses in the MO research area. Regardless of the contrary concept, we considered MO a promising plant that could be studied for its medicinal applications on both biochemical and molecular levels. We recommended further research on the molecular effects of MO in healthy and diseased models.
