Effect of ipil-ipil leaves (leucena leucocephala) extract on the growth performance of tilapia (oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings
Leucena leucocephala known as Ipil-ipil is a tropical plant species that contain a high level of protein. This plant can be one of a good substitute of protein source in the fish diet. In Malaysia, this plant is known as ‘Petai belalang’ and also known as an aggressive colonizer of ruderal sites and...
