Abstract Effects of varying levels of Dried Poultry Droppings fed Clarias gariepinus were investigated for 84 days. The fish meal was partially and completely replaced by dried poultry droppings at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% inclusions and was allotted T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Investigation conducted on the occurrence of microbes in the fish feeds revealed that T5 varied significantly (p
