POTENTIAL OF HERBAL PLANTS AS SUPPLEMENTS IN FISH FEED

Aquaculture

The use of herbal plants as additives in fish feed has recently been the subject of extensive research. The materials used for fish supplements are leftovers from companies that create herbal foods, drinks, and supplements for humans. As a result, their price is lower and their use as an ingredient in feed supplements. Turmeric, ginger, curcuma, aromatic ginger, noni, catappa leaves, betel leaf, and others are herbal plants that are frequently used as supplements. The primary advantages of providing fish herbal supplements are that they have a better digestive system, need less feed, have increased appetites, and develop faster each day. Studies that have been done employing herbal plants as supplements in fish feed have produced positive outcomes. This may serve as the foundation for the use of herbal plants in fish feed in the creation of aquaculture systems to improve the production, endurance, and health of fish. The potential and application of herbal plants as supplements in fish feed are reviewed in this paper.
