Popis: An eight (8) week feeding trial was carried out to assess the use of enzyme natuzyme supplemented Telfairia occidentalis stalk extract as growth inducer in the practical diet for Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings. Five isonitrogenous (35% crude protein) diets at 0 ml of stalk extract and enzyme (TRT 1), 15 ml (TRT 2) and 30 ml (TRT 3) of stalk extract with enzyme, 15 ml (TRT 4) and 30 ml (TRT 5) of stalk extract without enzyme were fed to O. niloticus fingerlings. At the end of the feeding trial, the group of O. niloticus fingerlings fed 30 ml of stalk extract with enzyme (TRT 3) gave better growth and nutrient utilization indices. The feed conversion ratio observed in this group (1.87) was significantly better (p
