Abstract
The existing trial investigated the effects of supplementing the diet of Nile tilapia with BergaPur® on the hematology, immune response, biochemical factors, and antioxidative capacity. Four groups of fish with an average weight of 10.0 ± 0.5 g received BergaPur®, de-oiled phospholipid complex at a rate of 0 (control), 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 g/kg diet for 9 weeks. Sampling included blood, serum, and liver samples from the four groups at the end of each 3 weeks for a 9 weeks total experimental period. Hematologic readings, serum biochemical, and oxidative parameters were investigated. Findings included a significant (P < 0.05) hematology augmentation (corpuscular Hb, packed cell volume, leukocytic, monocytic, and lymphocytic counts), and a remarked increased (P < 0.05) serum proteins (albumin, globulin, and total) were recorded in BergaPur® groups. Also, AST and ALT levels decreased significantly (P < 0.05), while glucose levels increased significantly (P < 0.05) in BergaPur® groups at all sampling points. Immune (phagocytosis and lysozyme activity) and antioxidant (SOD, GPx, and CAT) parameters increased significantly (P < 0.05) in BergaPur® supplemented groups, compared to the control, while MDA level decreased obviously in the incorporated groups over the control. Our findings verified the positive effects of BergaPur® on the hematological, immune, and biochemical parameters of O Oreochromis niloticus, with a suggestive concentration of 2 g/kg diet.
期刊介绍:
Aquaculture International is an international journal publishing original research papers, short communications, technical notes and review papers on all aspects of aquaculture.
The Journal covers topics such as the biology, physiology, pathology and genetics of cultured fish, crustaceans, molluscs and plants, especially new species; water quality of supply systems, fluctuations in water quality within farms and the environmental impacts of aquacultural operations; nutrition, feeding and stocking practices, especially as they affect the health and growth rates of cultured species; sustainable production techniques; bioengineering studies on the design and management of offshore and land-based systems; the improvement of quality and marketing of farmed products; sociological and societal impacts of aquaculture, and more.
This is the official Journal of the European Aquaculture Society.
