The study aimed to investigate the effects of different feeding rates on growth, muscle composition, intestinal digestive enzyme activities, and microbiota composition juvenile crayfish ( Procambarus clarkii ). A total 240 with an initial body weight 8.33±0.50 g were randomly distributed into five groups, each group had three replicates. groups corresponded 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% per day (BW/day). trial lasted for six weeks. results showed that final (FBW), gain rate (WGR), specific growth (SGR) first increased when feed from 2% 6 % (P<0.05) then a decreased trend further increase rate, but no significant differences observed. conversion ratio (FCR) rise in which reached peak at (P<0.05). survival (SR), hepatosomatic index (HSI), condition factor (CF) unaffected by (P>0.05). moisture, crude protein, fat, ash contents remained unchanged among all groups. Intestinal activities lipase amylase (up 6%) increasing ACE Chao indices fed significantly lower than those relative abundance Firmicutes 8% was higher other (P<0.05), Citrobacter 6% primarily functions connection amino acid, carbohydrate, vitamin metabolism. Therefore, optimum could be 6.0% P. .
