Abstract
A method for promoting growth in fish comprising administering a low level dosage amount of zearalanol to fish. The zearalanol may be conveniently administered to the fish via a novel fish feed formulation comprising a conventional feed mixture supplemented with a relatively low dosage amount of zearalanol ranging from 1 to 20 parts per million (ppm) zearalanol in the feed. In another embodiment, the zearalanol may be administered to the fish in the form of a novel complex of zearalanol and a cyclodextrin compound which further enhances the growth process.
