Abstract: Juvenile common carp Cyprinuscarpio with initial body length of(15.26±3.95)g were reared in a 55 cm×55 cm×110 cm net cage disposed in a tank at a density of 30 ind./net and fed four diets containing 3‰ of Chinese herbal medicine compounds including Radixisatidis and Chinese rhubarb (group 1), Astragalusmembranaceus and golden cypress (group 2), medicated leaven and Artemisiaannua(group 3), licorice and Rheumpalmatum(group 4) and without Chinese herbal additive (group 5, as control group) with triplication for 30 days to investigate effects of Chinese herbal medicines on growth performance and body composition of common carp.The results showed that good growth was observed in the fish in group 2 and group 4, and poor growth in the fish in group 1.There was lower food conversion ratio (FCR) in the fish fed the diets containing Chinese herbal medicine compounds compared with that in the control group.The fish fed the diets containing Chinese herbal medicine compounds had higher crude protein levels than the fish fed the control diet did, without significance (P>0.05).Fish fed diet 2 had the significantly higher total amino acid levels(P<0.05)than the fish in the control group did, without significant difference mong the other groups(P>0.05).There were higher flavor amino acid levels in the fish fed diets 2, 3 and 4 than that in the fish fed the control diet, without significant difference(P>0.05).No significant difference in crude fat level was found among each group(P>0.05).The findings indicate that appropriate supplemental amount of Chinese herbal additives leads to some extent to improve the growth performance and muscle quality, and to reduce FCR in fish to some extent.
