Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of Senna alata leaf and root meal-based diets compared with oxytetracycline on the survival, hematological, and biochemical responses of Clarias gariepinus challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila. Four dietary treatments were prepared: basal control, oxytetracycline (0.05 g/kg), S. alata leaf (30 g/kg), and S. alata root (30 g/kg). The relative survival rate (RSR) was highest in the control group (≈36%), while the oxytetracycline group had the lowest (≈8%), significantly lower (p
