Compared to control groups, growth performance was significantly higher in treated shrimp. There was a significant difference in survival rate between TM1 (94.44 ± 1.57%) and TM2 (87.78 ± 1.92%) compared to the other diets. Furthermore, the activity of digestive enzymes was significantly higher in TS1. Overall, it can be concluded that spraying B.s.i.

We assessed plasma cortisol, blood glucose, IL-2, lysozyme activity, and spleen cell numbers for acute and chronic stress. Among them, blood glucose levels indicated the stress-modulating capability of elderberry in both acute and chronic stress conditions. Plasma cortisol concentrations also demonstrated the potential of elderberry as a stress-modulating agent in chronic stress.

We compared CORT concentrations and H/L ratios in wild animals that were either the same size or the same age class as farmed alligators. Plasma CORT levels and H/L ratios were no higher than those in wild alligators. To ensure consistent results across the farm, we compared plasma hormone concentrations in animals of the same size classes maintained in different enclosures and also in different buildings and found no differences.
