Zusammenfassung: | The present study investigates the effects of dietary alfalfa,
Medicago sativa
leaves, on growth performance, carcass composition, enzymatic activity, biochemical indices, intestinal histomorphometry, and disease resistance in fingerlings of common carp,
Cyprinus carpio
L. A feeding trial of 60 days was carried out in which common carp fingerlings were fed on experimental diets supplemented with alfalfa extract at rates of 0.0% (T
0
) control, 0.25% (T
1
), 0.50% (T
2
), 0.75% (T
3
), and 1.0% (T
4
). At the end of the feeding trial, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, and feed conversion ratio improved significantly (
