This study evaluated the effects of potato, wheat, rice, and corn starch on growth performance, blood parameters, digestive enzyme activity, antioxidative response, gut microbiota African catfish, Clarias gariepinus. A control diet (a commercial fish diet) four different (potato, PO; WH; corn, CO; RC) formulations were fed to catfish with average weight 10.5g (n = 30) for eight weeks. The experiment was conducted in triplicate. At end feeding trial, performance potato (PO) significantly higher than other treatment groups. Furthermore, this group recorded significant lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) values compared Meanwhile, there no differences all tested hematological parameters response between Digestive activities intestine fish, comprising amylase, lipase, protease, a PO diet. In addition, demonstrated substantially lower viscerosomatic index (VSI) hepatosomatic (HSI) groups indicating has more meat its body. had good microbiota, Akkermansia muciniphila.

Exploring beneficial effects of phytobiotics in marine shrimp farming: A review

Heliyon, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(14), P. e31074 - e31074

Published: May 10, 2024

Marine shrimp farming, mainly Penaeus monodon and Litopenaeus vannamei, is an important component of the aquaculture industry. farming help in producing protein source for human, providing job opportunity, generating lucrative profit investor. Intensification practices will lead to poor water quality, stress, lacking nutrition among farmed marine shrimp, with consequences disease outbreaks production, impeding development farming. Antibiotic common short-term solution overcome problems Moreover, negative impacts using antibiotics on public health environment cannot gain consumer confidence products. Recently, research phytobiotic as a prophylactic agent has been hot topic. Various phytobiotics have explored reveal their beneficial effects species. In this review paper, sources modes action are presented. The roles improving growth performance, increasing antioxidant capacity, enhancing immune system, stimulating resistance, mitigating stress due abiotic factors culture recapitulated discussed.

Promoting Growth and Health of African Catfish, Clarias gariepinus, Through Dietary Novel Supplement, Ginger, Zingiber officinale Rosc, Leaf Powder

Aquaculture Studies, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 24(4)

Published: Dec. 20, 2023

African catfish is a popular freshwater aquaculture species as it can be farmed at high stocking density. However, density caused growth and health impairment. Hence, nutritional approach such feed additive applied in fish farming to overcome this issue. This study evaluated the impacts of ginger (Zingiber officinale) leaf powder (GLP) on performance, digestive enzymes activities, antioxidative response, disease resistance towards Edwardsiella tarda infection catfish. A feeding trial was performed using control diet four formulated diets with GLP 1, 2, 3, 4%. Ginger an herb used cuisine traditional medicine. It reported possesses medicinal values antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, immune system modulator. After eight weeks, performance GLP-treated significantly improved than control, best results were observed 2 3% groups (p<0.05). Meanwhile, supplemented 1 4% demonstrated comparable performance. There significant decreasing trend FCR, HSI, VI, where lowest recorded by groups, followed 1% GLP, The activity, including amylase, lipase, protease, higher dietary highest activity exhibited (p<0.05), groups. increasing had catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities fed Furthermore, cumulative survival rate In summary, revealed that potentially enhanced production recommended doses 3%.

Nutritional analysis of indigenous sources: An approach to explore its potential application as alternative feedstuffs for Thai Koi (Anabas testudineus)

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12, P. 100558 - 100558

Published: March 22, 2023

Aquaculture recently gained importance due to rising protein consumption and sustainable fisheries production. Any fish farm needs affordable, environmentally friendly feed maximize profit. Bangladesh imports materials from neighboring countries at a considerable cost. Therefore, the present research aims investigate nutritive value of local organic resources evaluate their usage as feedstuffs thus reducing operational costs for Anabas testudineus (Thai koi) farming. The selected nineteen raw were subjected proximate minerals (Na, P, K, Ca, Fe) content analyses. results revealed that each ingredient analyzed contains substantial amount (ranging 6.07 58.76%). recorded crude fat, moisture, ash, fiber, carbohydrate, energy contents varied within range 0.46–14.78%, 1.40–9.95%, 1.19–81.50%, 0–41.77%, 5.33–71.17%, 58.77–399.81 kcal/100g respectively. ingredients also contain an appreciable potassium (78.64–3718.32 mg/100g), calcium (1.20–37175.41 phosphorous (7.92–258.97 mg/100g). demonstrate indigenous high in nutritional mineral could be used potential substitute compositions Thai koi formulation.

Abstract Aquafeed quality is the most critical factor for aquaculture sustainability. However, limitations of traditional feed ingredients such as fishmeal (FM) need alternative strategies to ensure nutritional requirements aquatic animals. In this trial, four test diets were formulated (2 × 2 factorial design), where FM was incorporated in two at 10% with or without Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) 1 g/kg. At same time, replaced yellow mealworm ( Tenebrio molitor ) meal (TM) SC The growth performance indices (final weight, weight gain, and SGR), utilization (FCR PER) markedly affected by protein source (FM TM) dietary P < 0.05). significantly 0.05) whole-body lipid contents, while moisture ash contents unaffected > TM SC. intestinal villi showed a marked increase both height branching treated groups along whole length intestine.
