Abstract
Recently use of some nutritive additive such as plant extracts increased in aquaculture. Hydroalcoholic extract of Plantago ovata (POE) supplemented to fish food at four different levels (0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1 percent) and some growth parameters, Hepatosomatic index and Spleen of Oncorhynchus mykiss were investigated. This herb has antibacterial properties. 360 juvenile Oncorhynchus mykiss (30±5.23) randomly divided in twelve groups (four treatments and three replicates). All groups fed with experimental diet for 60 days. Bioassay conducted one and sixty days after applying treatment, and growth parameters were investigated. Finally Liver and Spleen of fishes weighed and results compared between treatments. Results showed that almost all growth parameters were increased in groups fed with 0.5 and 1 percent supplemented food with POE compare to the control group (P0.05). It can be concluded that POE can stimulate growth of rainbow trout and it has not negative effective on the Liver of juveniles even  it has some good effects on the efficiency of spleen.
