Efficacy of Dietary Chenopodium album Extract on Some Health Parameters, Digestive Enzymes and Growth Performance in Juvenile Cyprinus carpio
Abstract :
The present study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of a Chenopodium album aqueous methanolic extract supplementation on the immunological and haematological indices, digestive enzyme activity and growth performance of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio). C. album was added to a basal diet at the rate of 0 (CA0), 0.1 (CA0.1), 0.5 (CA0.5) and 1 g kg^−1 (CA1), and C. carpio was fed this diet for 45 days. Respiratory burst activity was significantly increased in all experimental groups on days 15 and 30 compared to the control (P 0.05). Lysozyme activity was significantly increased over all sampling times compared to the control except in CA1 (P 0.05). Myeloperoxidase activities were significantly increased in all experimental groups compared to the control (P 0.05). Haematological parameters were significantly decreased compared to the control (P 0.05). Trypsin and lipase activities were significantly increased in CA0.5 and CA1 compared to the control (P 0.05). Amylase activity was significantly improved in all experimental groups compared to the control (P 0.05). Final weight, weight gain and SGR were significantly enhanced in CA0.1 and CA1 compared to the control (P 0.05). FCR was not different in any of the experimental group (P 0.05). These results demonstrate that dietary supplementation with an aqueous methanolic extract has beneficial effects on the immune responses, digestive enzyme activity and growth performance of C. carpio.
