The comparative effect of the level of incorporation of
Moringa oleifera leaf flour on the survival and growth characteristics of
Clarias gariepinus and Clarias jaensis juveniles was studied between March and
June 2017 in Batié (LN: 5° 17'0''-5°18'53''and LE: 10°17'0''- 10°19'31''). The
aim of this study was to contribute to the increase in Clarias gariepinus and
Clarias jaensis production through the use of local inputs. A total of 320
Clarias gariepinus and Clarias jaensis juveniles (14.23 ± 0.15g) were divided
into eight isoprotein treatments (40%) with three replicates. They were fed
twice a day for 84 days. The main results were: survival rate was higher in
Clarias jaensis (93.33%) with no significant differences recorded. Average
final weight, average daily gain and specific growth rate were significantly (P≤0.05)
higher in Clarias gariepinus. Feed conversion was significantly lower in
Clarias gariepinus (1.74). Feed cost decreased with increasing incorporation of
Moringa oleifera in the feed. The cost of one kg of Clarias gariepinus and
Clarias jaensis was significantly lower at 15% for Clarias jaensis (691.44 F
CFA). Moringa oleifera can be incorporated into the feed for juveniles of
Clarias jaensis at 15% and in Clarias gariepinus at 10%.
