Trial was conducted into two consecutive phases, the first was fry (4-5 days old)administration with negative control (without hormone) and positive control (with hormone) feed viz., MT1:60mg\/kg, MT2:70mg\/kg (17\u03b1-MT), carp testis CT1:70% and CT2:80% for 30 days to reverse the sex of male fish and the second phase was nursing the fingerlings for two months on control diet (32% Crude protein).Results revealed a significant growth rate (P&lt;0.05) in the control group where final weight (4.8\u00b10.34ab) and weight gained was recorded as 0.66\u00b10.03ac. In proximate chemical composition of body meat, CT2 treatment showed maximum retention of crude protein, crude fat, and ash whereas dry matter showed maximum retention in MT2 and CT1 treatments. Morphological and histological examination revealed significant difference (p&lt;0.05) in phenotypic males of Nile tilapia fed with the highest percent in MT-treated diet (MT2) of 95\u00b10.58a while MT1, CT2 and CT1 had males of 85\u00b16.0b, 70\u00b15.0b and 65\u00b16.5b, respectively. It was concluded that synthetic androgen (17\u03b1MT) was more effective for masculinization but natural androgen scan be an alternative method to produce male tilapia population in an environment-friendly manner as they are inexpensive, eco-friendly, and radially available. These results suggested that synthetic and natural androgen supplementation in the diet plays a significant role in improving growth performance and body composition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1519-6984.272413","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,29]],"date-time":"2023-05-29T20:12:17Z","timestamp":1685391137000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Effect of natural and synthetic androgen hormone on sex reversal of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"84","author":[{"given":"F.","family":"Asad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College University Faisalabad,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3603-9850","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.","family":"Naz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College University Faisalabad,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9015-1421","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T.","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College University Faisalabad,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1011-539X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Y.","family":"Gul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College Women University Faisalabad,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-2156-850X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R.","family":"Jamal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College University Faisalabad,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8333-5740","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Z.","family":"Shaheen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College University Faisalabad,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3236-3522","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.","family":"Tasadaq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College University Faisalabad,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1391-8913","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.","family":"Nadeem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College University Faisalabad,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-7720-7626","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"N.","family":"Anwar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College University Faisalabad,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-5250-1111","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"N.","family":"Batool","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College University Faisalabad,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8579-2216","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.","family":"Bano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government College University Faisalabad,  Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Standard methods for examination of water and wastewater.","first-page":"5","year":"1998","edition":"20th"},{"issue":"8","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"911","DOI":"10.1139\/o59-099","article-title":"A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification","volume":"37","author":"BLIGH E.G.","year":"1959","journal-title":"Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"361","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-1-4832-2817-4.50015-9","article-title":"Experimental studies on growth","volume":"1","author":"BROWN M.
