This study was carried out for 60 day. A total number of 70 fish (Cyprinus carpio L.) with an average of 13.40±1.85 g and a length 11.07 ±1.27 cm were randomly divided into five treatments as a two tank treatment, similar to its contents of conventional ingredients (i.e., fishmeal, soybea soybean meal, corn, barley and wheat bran as well as vitamin mixture premix and carboxy methyle celloluse (CMC)). They differ in their content from food additives. They were commercially ready made in dietary T1 and T2 (Thepax 0.5, 1 gm/ kg), T3 and T4 (Labazyme 1, 2 gm/ kg) and control (0.0 gm/kg) of experimental diets. Data collected included fish weight and feed conversion ratio measured at the end of the study. The results found that the addition of food additives has significantly been affected by weight gain, specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio (P<0.05), with the best results obtained in fish food additives, pellets have been supplemented to Thepax 1 gm/ kg to enhance growth and immune responses.
