| Abstract | ||
| The effect of garlic extract was studied as a food additive and antimicrobial growth in the diets given to the juveniles of carp fish Cyprinus carpio L. . The juveniles was brought from M.S.C. aquaculture station and cultured in 35 litters water capacity plastic containers with culture density 1 juvenile/ 2 litters water , the experiment lasted for 60 days , the containers were classified according to the diet types given to the fish with two replicates for each diet . Four diets had been made , diet A with no garlic additive , and B ,C,D with 5 % , 10% and 15% garlic extract distributed in the containers (1,2) ,(3,4),(5,6) and (7,8) respectively , the diets given to the fish twice a day . A microbial cultures had been tested for all the A,B,C and D diets within 15 , 30 and 60 days during the experiment period , it is shown that less microbial growth occurred in the diets D,C and B respectively compared with the control diet A . The best fish growth was shown by fish given C diet and then the fish given B,D and A diets respectively . The ecological measurements taken to the water containers during the experiment period were in the appropriate limits for carp fish growth . | ||
