By Nidhal Al-Taee and Firas Gali Romani

The study conducted in the fish laboratory, Animal Production Department, College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Duhok, using common carp fish (Cyprinus carpio L.) in three experiments each lasted 84 days, preceded by 2 weeks adaptation in plastic tanks. The full-randomized design (CRD) adopted within the SAS, 2002 program for statistically analysis, consisting of four treatments and three replicates each include seven fish. The fish diet was 4 feed formulations: control and 3 other using Moringa oleifera leaves, seeds and hand-crushed leaves at levels of (2%, 4% and 6%).The results show that use of Moringa oleifera role improved growth performance and significately improved Fish's blood profile: Including red blood cell, packed cell volume, hemoglobin and lymphocytes, biochemical parameters: including high-and low-density lipoprotein, Serum biochemistry parameters: Albumin, Globulin, Glucose and Total Protein, Liver enzymes aspartate aminotransferase and alanine amino aminotransferase gave the best results and Protein parameters: protein intake, retention, and productive value.
