Abstract
This study explored the effects of mango seed (MS) powder supplementation on the growth, immune response, gene expression, and intestinal morphology of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) over an 8-week period. A total of 300 Nile tilapia fingerlings (average weight of 15.29 ± 0.05 g) were divided into five treatment groups and fed either a basal diet or one of four experimental diets containing MS powder at concentrations of 10 (MS10), 20 (MS20), 40 (MS40), and 80 (MS80) g kg−1. The results demonstrated that Nile tilapia fed MS-supplemented diets experienced significant improvements (p
