In a completely randomized design, the experimental fish were divided into 9 groups with 3 treatments and 3 replicates and 16 fish in each group. Levels of L-carnitine supplements were 0 (control), 1 and 2 g per kg of diet. Results indicated that specific growth rate (SGR), total body weight, weight gain and protein efficiency ratio (PER) were significantly increased by 1g/kg L-carnitine supplements (P SP - 105 EP - 116 AU - Jalali Hajiabadi, M AU - Sadeghi, A AU - Mahbobi sofiani, N AU - CHamani, M AU - Riazi, GH AD - KW - L-Carnitine tartrate KW - Feed conversion ratio KW - Protein KW - Rainbow trout.
