    abstract = {This is the first study investigating the effects of dietary <I>Ferula Coskunii</I> (FC) on growth, body composition and liver histology of common carp (<I>Cyprinus carpio</I>). Experimental diets prepared by supplementation of 0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 g FC commercial trout diet kg<SUP>-1</SUP> (‰) and randomly assigned to triplicate groups. Dietary inclusion of <I>F. coskunii</I> affected the growth and feed conversion negatively, but increased the protein and lipid content of fish fed diet with 3.0 and 1.5 and 4.5 g kg<SUP>-1</SUP> FC; respectively (p&lt;0.05). Hepatosomatic and viscera somatic index values of fish increased with the increasing rates of FC (p&lt;0.05). Gonadosomatic index values did not change for male and female carp significantly. In addition, different levels of dietary FC had no detrimental effects on liver tissue and general fish health.}
