| Abstract | ||
| Recent research on the fishing industry has begun to use herbal supplements. The addition of herbal supplements can improve fish performance without causing negative impacts. This study aimed to determine the effect of adding a combination of Curcuma flour and garlic flour supplements to raise catfish growth and immunity. The research adopted an experimental method applying a random design, 3 treatments and 1 control, each with 4 repetitions. The results showed that the addition of mixed herbal curcuma flour and garlic flour supplements through the feed can increase weight and length growth as well as daily growth rate. Meanwhile, immunity indicators have increased though insignificantly. Thus, a combined diet of herbal curcuma flour and garlic flour is recommended for use in catfish farming. | ||
