The study was performed to investigate the effects of the different graded levels of  horse radish Moringa oleifera on the growth and survival rate of GET EXCEL tilapia fry at the Mindanao State University Multi-species Hatchery, Sanga-Sanga, Bongao, Tawi-Tawi, Philippines. There were four (4) treatments used in this study where T1 labeled negative control having 0% content of powdered M. oleifera, T2 with 15%, T3 with 30% and T4 with 40%. Each treatment was replicated three times using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) for a duration of 45 days.

The results showed no significant differences among treatment diets (p>0.05). Higher Final Weight (FW)  of 12+4.2g, Weight Gain (WG)  of 11.67+4.3, Feed Intake (FI) of  0.20+0.05, Specific Growth Rate SGR of 2.39+0.6% and Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) of 34.86+21.1 although lower in  FCR which was 0.03+0.02 and a survival rate of 14.67+10.7%.. The diet in T4 (40% M. oleifera ) powder could be a preferable graded level that could promote better growth and feed conversion efficiency of GET EXCEL tilapia fry. Further studies on different inclusion levels of Moringa oleifera kg-1 diet for growth and survival rate of GET EXCEL tilapia are recommended to compare results. Feeding ration must be increased higher than 10% to avoid cannibalism.
