Research on supplementing feed with rice husk activated charcoal was carried out to determine the effect of variations in the concentration of rice husk activated charcoal on the growth and histological features of the giant trevally intestine. This study used an experimental method with a completely randomized design consisting of six treatments and four replications, including adding activated charcoal to feed at concentrations of 0%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.

- The giant trevally is an important fish species in Indonesia, with prior studies indicating that charcoal improves its survival and feed efficiency.
- Four types of activated charcoal (coconut shell, mangrove wood, rice husk, and palm kernel shell) were tested on juvenile giant trevally over 42 days to examine their effects on gut and intestine health.
- Results showed that rice husk charcoal enhanced the size of the foveola gastrica, while mangrove wood charcoal improved the length of intestinal villi, with the control diet having the widest intestinal villi, highlighting the dietary benefits of charcoal for fish growth.
