This experiment was done to assess the effect of Chlorella, as a source of protein, andgerminated barley powder, as a source of natural prebiotic, on the performance of commoncarp. The experiment was conducted by using one-way ANOVA (analysis of variance) with acompletely randomized design (CRD). Higher significantly in T2 with 5% Chlorella and T5(20% germinated barley). FCR recorded significant differences among treatment as comparedto T5 (20% germinated barley), and the opposite was observed in FER. T5 with 20%germinated barley was differing significantly in each of the spleen somatic and kidneysomatic indices. Adding germinated barley leads to enhanced intestine weight index in T4 andT5. The parameters were hepatosomatic and gill somatic indices, condition factor, fish weightwithout viscera, fish weight without viscera and head, lipids, ash and moisture, organolepticevaluation of mean juiciness, flavor, color, and complete acceptance. We conclude that theuse of Chlorella and germinated barley potentially enhances the growth performance and fish meat quality. We recommend using both plants in earthen ponds to rely on using natural products in fish feeding.
