The effects of short term starvation and re-feeding to satiation on compensatory growth performance, haematological parameters, biochemical parameters, and immune responses were investigated in Oreochromis niloticus of average weights 96.10 ± 0.47 g and 96.44 ± 0.49 g for feeding group and starvation group respectively under the same rearing condition within 21 days period. The fish were divided into two groups namely control group (continuous feeding/ feeding group) and starvation group (days; 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, 21) and re-feeding was done immediately after starvation (days 7, 14, 21). The changes in growth performance, haematological indices, biochemical parameters, and immune responses of the fish were examined (days; 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, 21) and during re-feeding of the fish (days; 7, 14, 21). The results of the growth measurements decreased significantly during starvation and recover significantly after re-feeding (P |
