Nutritional composition and quality of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fed with Melaleuca cajuputi leaves extracts as a natural feed additive

African catfish, Clarias gariepinus were treated as; controls (fed with commercial feed); T1, (fed with 5 mg kg-1 Melaleuca leaves extract formulated in commercial feed); and T2 (fed with 10 mg kg-1 Melaleuca leaves extract formulated in commercial feed) and fed twice daily for 21 days. The effect...
