Abstract :
In this study, the hematological and growth performance
of beluga (Huso huso) fed with herbal supplemented
diet were studied. Dietary treatments were
control (normal diet), 1 g garlic (Allium sativum) and
1 g nettle (Urtica dioica) per 100g feed for 60 days.
No significant difference was observed in growth
performance between the groups (P > 0.05). MCV
increased significantly in nettle group compared to
control group after 60 days (P < 0.05). Lymphocyte
increased in nettle and garlic groups compared to
control group after 20 days (P < 0.05). In conclusion,
it seems that herbal diet can improve hematological
parameters and immunocompetent cell activity in
this species.
