Abstract
This experimental study was conducted to determine the growth performance of
native hito (Clarias macrocephalus) reared in fresh water concrete tank using different
feeding supplement. The study was conducted from October 29,2002 to January 25,
2003.
A single factorial experiment following the Randomized Complete Block
Design(RCBD) with five treatments and replicated three times was used.
The treatments were the following T₁;(Boiled Golden apple snail), T2; (Halfcooked chicken intestine), T3;(50% half-cooked chicken intestine + 50% commercial
feeds), T4; (50% boiled golden apple snail + 50% commercial feeds), Ts; Control
(commercial feeds).
After three months of rearing, fish were harvested and the following data were
gathered; final weight, length and FCR.

Results of the study revealed that the treatments produced significant variation on
the weight of the fish. After three months of rearing. Thought blocking manifests the
reverse
The performance of native hito in terms of mean length exhibit that all the
treatments yield comparable result no significant differences.
The five treatments did not significantly produce variations in feed conversion
ratio (FCR). T5 - control (commercial feeds) and T1- (boiled and sun dried golden snail
turned out to have the best feed conversion ratio, While T4 - (50% sundried boiled
golden apple snail + 50% commercial feeds) poorly performed.
