ABSTRACT
The present study evaluates the effect of formulated feeds on growth performance and colour enhancement in the fresh water gold fish carrassius auratus. Fishes were fed with formulated diet incorporated with different doses of leaf extract such as 0, 100, 200, 400 and 800 mg kg- 1 of diet for 45 days. Biochemical composition of skin and muscle diet D3 showed the highest activity than compared to control. Hence, carotenoid analysis showed the maximum in the D3 than compared to control. The result demonstrates that fishes fed with D3 showed highest growth parameter, biochemical and TLC than
compared with the control (P
