ABSTRACT
A study was performed to determine the effects of supplementing Phyllanthus niruri, an herbal medicinal plant found worldwide and its optimal dosage to modulate stress in tilapia. Phyllanthus niruri-extract from three different sources (suppliers) was given to study fish through supplementation to commercial fish feed at the rate of 1%, 2%, 5%, and 10% concentration. Administration of 5% Phyllanthus niruri from Source B significantly reduced blood glucose in fish.
