AB  - A number of 420 fingerlings of catfish were used to examine the effect of wormseed plants and chamomile on the growth parameters and on non-specific immune response of the African catfish; <I>Clarias gariepinus</I>. Both types of herbs were used in rates of 1, 3 and 5% with 3 replicates per each of the 6 treatments. The 7th treatment was kept as a control group. The experimented catfish were fed with the 7 examined diets in the rate of 3% of fish biomass for 1 month. Different growth parameters as well as blood parameters were estimated to evaluate the growth performance and immune response of the experimented catfish. Results revealed that wormseed plants <I>Artemisia cina </I>L. in the rate of 3 and 5% and chamomile <I>Matricaria chamomilla</I>. L. in the rate of 1% showed the best figures of growth parameters as well as immune response parameters of the examined catfish.
