The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary Kiwi (Actinidia sp.) peel powder on growth performance, body composition and digestibility of Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) juvenile. Due to this purpose, five diets including control (without Kiwi peel powder), four diets containing 1, 3, 5 and 7 % Kiwi peel powder were prepared. Common carp juvenile with initial weight of 19.53±0.05 g were randomly distributed in each treatment (3 replicates) into 300 L tanks with 250 L water capacity and fed at satiation with experimental diet for 8 weeks. After the end of experiment, growth indices, survival rate, carcass composition and nutrient digestibility were assessed. The results showed no significant differences of growth performance among treatments (P>0.05). Carcass composition, protein and lipid digestibility showed no significant differences among treatments (P>0.05), but the highest amount of dry matter digestibility was observed in 3, 5 and 7 % treatments, and the lowest amount of that was observed in the control (P<0.05). Overall, using Kiwi peel powder in diet didn’t have any negative effect on growth indices, carcass composition and digestibility.
