Synergistic Effects of Garlic and Andrographis Extracts on Digestive Enzyme Activity, Immune Modulation, and Anti- Inflammation in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Description
The data supports the potential use of herbal additives in aquafeeds as natural growth promoters and immune enhancers. It offers reproducible, well-structured datasets for reanalysis or meta-analysis in aquaculture or veterinary phytotherapy. Researchers and feed formulators can apply this dataset to develop functional feeds targeting health optimization in tilapia or similar aquaculture species. For deeper interpretation, refer to the full accompanying manuscript, which links each dataset to the biological outcomes and conclusions.

A total of 240 juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), with an initial body weight ranging from 10 to 30 g, were randomly assigned to four dietary treatment groups: (1) a control group fed a commercial basal diet (Hi-Grow 9951 Turbo, Betagro Co., Ltd., Thailand); (2) a group fed a diet supplemented with Garlic extract (GE); (3) a group fed a diet supplemented with , Andrographis extract (AE); and (4) a group fed a diet supplemented with a 1:1 combination of GE and AE (GAF). The herbal extracts were incorporated into the respective diets at a final concentration of 1.0% (w/w).
