This study was conducted to assess the
effect of dietary inclusions of Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) and
Psidium guajava (P. guajava) diets on the growth performance of Clarias
gariepinus (C. gariepinus). Seven treatments were administered to 420 C.
gariepinus juveniles. They were: Control (Basal diet of 42% crude protein), L.
plantarum (LPc) (cell/1000 mL) at 40, 60, 80 and P. guajava leaf meal (PGLM)
(g/1000g) at 40, 60 and 80 per kg of feed. Body Weight Gain (BWG) (g), Specific
Growth Rate (SGR) (g/day), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Survival Rate (SR) (%),
Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) and Nitrogen Metabolism (NM) were evaluated.
Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA at p<0.05. From the
results, 40LPc had the highest body weight gain (73.52±2.30) g and Specific
Growth Rate (SGR) (1.19±0.02) g/day, while 80 PGLM had the least body weight
gain (46.10±0.12) g  and SGR (0.99±0.00)
g/day. No significant difference (p>0.05) was observed in feed conversion
ratio across all treatments. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) observed
in the survival rate between control (93.80±4.98)% and 80 PGLM (96.77±4.09)%.
No significance difference (p>0.05) was observed in protein efficiency ratio
between control (1.01±0.36) and 60 PGLM (0.95±0.36). There was no significant
difference (p>0.05) observed in nitrogen metabolism across all treatment
groups. Hence, the inclusion level of 40 cells/1000 mL of L. plantarum
fortified diet in cultured juvenile C. gariepinus was observed to have a better
growth enhancing performance and nutrient utilization than P. guajava leaf meal
at 40g/1000g.
