Abstract
The effect of feeding graded levels of stress care, a stress releasing agent for farm
animals and poultry, on the growth, survival and carcass composition of tilapia, Oreochromis
mossambicus was studied. Stress care, at different levels, was added to a fish meal based
diet. The experiment was conducted in indoor closed recirculatory system for two months.
Results showed that higher survival of tilapia was obtained with a diet containing 0.75%
stress care but growth rate was not influenced by the presence of stress care
