Abstract

The study investigated how phytobiotic-supplemented diets impact the growth performance, feed utilisation and resistance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) to Streptococcus agalactiae. Fish with a total mean initial mass (37.6 g) of 180 and a random stocking of 15 fingerlings per 150 L tank in triplicate were divided into four groups and fed isonitrogenous (299 g kg⁻¹ crude protein) and isoenergetic (15.7 kJ g⁻¹ gross energy) control diets supplemented with 1% turmeric (Curcuma longa; TUD), garlic (Allium sativum; GAD) and ginger (Zingiber officinale; GID) powder for 56 days. After the trial period, growth performance, feed utilisation and blood health were measured. Ten fish from each replicate were infected with S. agalactiae and mortality was observed for 14 days. The results showed a significantly higher weight gain (g), specific growth rate (SGR; %/day) and average daily growth (ADG; g) in GAD (80.3 ± 1.0, 2.04 ± 0.05 and 1.434 ± 0.02, respectively) and GID (77.03 ± 0.8, 2.0 ± 0.04 and 1.376 ± 0.01, respectively) compared to the control group (60.4 ± 2.5, 1.71 ± 0.02 and 1.079 ± 0.04, respectively). However, these metrics were not significantly higher in TUD (63.8 ± 2.2, 1.8 ± 0.05 and 1.139 ± 0.04, respectively) when compared to the control group. TUD, GAD and GID feed conversion ratio (FCR) and efficiency, as well as protein efficiency ratio (PER), were improved as compared to the control. The haemoglobin (HGB), haematocrit (HCT), platelets (PLTs), white blood cells (WBCs), serum biochemistry and respiratory burst activity (RBA) of TUD, GAD and GID were significantly better than the control. Lysozyme and bactericidal activities were also significantly improved in TUD, GAD and GID as compared to the control. Following the S. agalactiae infection, the fish survival rates of GAD (67.7%), GID (53.3%) and TUD (46.7%) were better than those of the control (26.3%). Dietary supplementation with the above-mentioned phytobiotics in Nile tilapia culture can help to increase production in view of the current challenges posed by the increased incidence of disease in fish farms. They are recommended to enhance growth, immunity and resistance to disease.

姜黄、葱和生姜对尼罗罗非鱼生长、饲料利用及对无乳链球菌抗性的影响

本研究旨在研究植物性饲料对尼罗罗非鱼（Oreochromis niloticus）生长性能、饲料利用率和对无乳链球菌抗性的影响。试验选取平均初始质量为180 （37.6 g）、每150 L鱼缸随机放养15尾鱼种的3尾鱼，分为4组，分别饲喂在饲料中添加1%姜黄的等氮（299 g kg - 1粗蛋白质）、等能（15.7 kJ kg - 1总能）对照饲料。TUD)，大蒜(Allium sativum；广泛性焦虑症)和姜(Zingiber officinale；GID)粉末56天。试验期结束后，测定生长性能、饲料利用率和血液健康状况。每个重复10尾鱼感染无乳链球菌，观察死亡14 d。结果表明：增重(g)、特定生长率（SGR）；%/day)和平均日生长量(ADG；g) GAD（分别为80.3±1.0、2.04±0.05和1.434±0.02）和GID（分别为77.03±0.8、2.0±0.04和1.376±0.01）与对照组（分别为60.4±2.5、1.71±0.02和1.079±0.04）比较，差异有统计学意义。然而，与对照组相比，这些指标在TUD（分别为63.8±2.2、1.8±0.05和1.139±0.04）方面没有显著提高。与对照组相比，TUD、GAD和GID饲料系数（FCR）和效率以及蛋白质效率（PER）均有提高。TUD组、GAD组和GID组的血红蛋白（HGB）、红细胞压积（HCT）、血小板（PLTs）、白细胞（wbc）、血清生化和呼吸爆发活性（RBA）均显著优于对照组。与对照组相比，TUD、GAD和GID的溶菌酶和杀菌活性也显著提高。感染无乳链球菌后，GAD（67.7%）、GID（53.3%）和TUD（46.7%）的鱼存活率均优于对照组（26.3%）。鉴于目前养鱼场疾病发病率增加所带来的挑战，在尼罗罗非鱼养殖中补充上述植物益生素有助于提高产量。它们被推荐用来促进生长、增强免疫力和抵抗疾病。

期刊介绍： International in perspective, Aquaculture Research is published 12 times a year and specifically addresses research and reference needs of all working and studying within the many varied areas of aquaculture. The Journal regularly publishes papers on applied or scientific research relevant to freshwater, brackish, and marine aquaculture. It covers all aquatic organisms, floristic and faunistic, related directly or indirectly to human consumption. The journal also includes review articles, short communications and technical papers. Young scientists are particularly encouraged to submit short communications based on their own research.
