Abstract

Nile tilapia has high economic value, in its cultivation, to optimize the growth and survival rate of Nile tilapia could be done by adding vitamin C in its feed as antioxidant. However, vitamin C could not be synthesized in the fish body and expensive. Mangrove leaves Avicennia rumphiana contains antioxidant that suitable as the alternative of antioxidant likes vitamin C. This study aimed to observe the using of feed additive of mangrove leaves flour as antioxidant towards the growth and survival rate of Nile tilapia. This research applied a completely randomized design method which consist both of four treatments and replications that involve 0.02gr/kg vitamin C (K), amount of 0.2gr/kg, 0.4gr/kg, 0.6gr/kg mangrove leaves flour (P1, P2, P3). The result showed that the using of mangrove leaves flour as feed additive in commercial feed in 30 days at 0.02gr/kg has influenced the development of growth and survival rate of Nile tilapia. Therefore, it has proved that mangrove Avicennia rumphiana leaves flour is qualified to be the alternative of feed additive antioxidant in fish feed.
