Student, Department of Fisheries, Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Islamic Azad University, Ahvaz Golestan town, Iran Journal Article 2017 12 16 <br />Garlic plant due to organophosphorus compounds can be used as growth promoters and immune system of shrimp. In this study the effect of diets containing 0, 0.5, 1 and 2% powder of garlic (<em>Allium sativum</em>) were evaluated on the weight rate, length rate, specific growth rate (SGR), feed conservation rate (FCR), feed conversion efficiency (FCE) and survival rate of <em>Litopenaeus vannamei</em> with weight average 8.64 gr for 60 days. The results indicated weight, length average and SGR of shrimp fed diet 2% (15.42 g, 16.2 cm and 237.368 %, respectively) were significantly higher than other treatment (P0.05). Also, FCE of shrimp fed diet 2 % was significantly increased and FCR of them were significantly lower than other treatments (PL.vannamei. <br />  <br />Garlic plant due to organophosphorus compounds can be used as growth promoters and immune system of shrimp.
