  "abstract": "The study was conducted to assess the impact of azomite, a natural mineral derived from volcanic ash, on the zootechnical performance of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings fed with formulated diets based on local by-products. The study lasted 28 days. A total of four diets (T0, 0%; T1, 1%; T2, 2%; T3, 3% azomite) were tested on fingerlings of 1.06± 0.01 g mean initial weight distributed in tanks of 1 m3 each. The rationing rate was 12%. Zootechnical performance varied significantly between treatments (P < 0.05). Specific growth rate varied from 4.21 ± 0.25%/day to 5.73 ± 0.23%/day, and survival rate from 85.33 ± 2.31% to 89.33 ± 9.24%. T2 diets (2% azomite) produced the best growth and feed efficiencies. We can therefore conclude that the best rate of azomite supplementation for good zootechnical performance of C. gariepinus fingerlings is 2%.",
