The study was conducted at the University Fish Farm, Federal University Dutsinma. The study aimed to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of Allium sativum and Zingiber officinale mixture on growth performance and feed utilization of C. gariepinus fingerling reared in a tank system. Thus, 120 fingerlings were randomly divided in triplicate (3) into four (4) treatments. Treatment groups had different Garlic and Ginger inclusions (1, 1.5, and 2g/kg) added to their diets. The control group's diet was free of Ginger and Garlic mixture. The diets containing 40% crude protein (CP) were fed twice daily, in the morning and evening (9 am and 4 pm daily) at satiation for twelve (12) weeks (84 days). The survival rate ranges from 90% - 100%, with the higher FMW (893.10) and PMW (942.65) compared to the control group and others. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the FMW (893.10) of the fish fed 1.5g/kg of Garlic and Ginger diets than the control (687.00). The SGR (1.20) of fish fed Garlic and Ginger fortified diets shows no significant difference between treatments fed 1.5g/kg Garlic and Ginger and the control group. Generally, the experimental fish-fed Garlic and Ginger-Supplemented diets had an increased survival rate compared to the control.
