The experiment was conducted at the research unit of the Biological science Department, University of Abuja for a period of Twelve weeks. The experiment was set up to determine the effects of chicken feed (vital chicken feed) in the diet of Clarias gariepinus. The effects variables and nutrient utilization were determined from the practical diets using varying levels of 100% coppens in tank A (42% protein,13% crude fibre,6.7% ash),50% of vital chicken feed with 50% of fishmeal in tank B (20% crude protein,10% ash,9%crude fibre) and a combination of 30% vital chicken feed plus 70% fish meal in tank C (25% crude protein,12% fats,13% crude fibre,8% ash). The feeds were formulated and fed to Clarias gariepinus fingerlings with lengths (0 to10 cm) and weights (0 to 20 g). They were fed at 4% body weight twice daily. The optimum growth and survival rate were calculated.
