Abstract The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of Ziziphus mauritiana leaf powder (ZLP) on growth performance, intestinal histomorphology and growth-related gene expression of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). ZLP was incorporated into the basal diet at 5, 10 and 20 g per kg diets (w/w) and fed to fish for 12 weeks. The obtained results revealed significantly (P
