“…Oxidative stress can increase DNA fragmentation, causing an increase in the mutagenesis content of 8hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-2-dG) (Sudharshan and Dyavaiah 2021). Astaxanthin can prevent or reduce the oxidation of guanosine (Zhu et al 2021). Subsequently, adding lactose-astaxanthin combination to egg yolk phosphate diluent for storage of Green junglefowl semen at 5 o C maintained progressive motility and reduced DNA fragmentation (Bebas et al 2016).…”

Abstract. Bebas W, Agustina KK. 2022. Short Communication: The use of lactose-astaxanthin to maintain the quality of green junglefowl frozen semen.Biodiversitas 23: 5759-5764. The Green Junglefowl is Indonesian germplasm that is at risk of population decline. Therefore, efforts are needed to protect its existence and survival. Cryopreservation of spermatozoa in the form of frozen semen is required to preserve this germplasm. This research aims to determine the effect of lactose-astaxanthin in preventing DNA fragmentation and intact plasma membrane of Green Junglefowl spermatozoa during the freezing process. A completely randomized design with a 2x4 factorial pattern, including two treatment groups and four dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) concentration factors, was used. The treatment groups are T1 and T2, consisting of egg yolk phosphate diluent and egg yolk phosphate diluent added with a combination of 0.6% lactose-0.004% astaxanthin, respectively. The four DMSO concentration factors were 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% respectively. Subsequently, each treatment was repeated four times. The DNA fragmentation and intact plasma membrane of spermatozoa were observed, and the data obtained afterward were analyzed for variance, followed by the Ducan test. The results showed that the addition of 0.6% lactose-0.004% astaxanthin with 6% DMSO had a significantly better effect (P<0.05) on the quality of post-thawing spermatozoa with 19.75±0.96% DNA fragmentation and 53.75±3.86% intact plasma membranes. Therefore, it is recommended that a combination of 0.6% lactose-0.004% astaxanthin at 6% DMSO concentration should be added to Green Junglefowl semen during the freezing process to prevent DNA fragmentation and intact plasma membranes.

“…On egg performance, research by Zhu et al [ 45 ] showed that AST-rich P. rhodozyma could improve egg yolk color. Yolk discoloration is also found in other carotenoids [ 46 ].…”

“…While the egg yolk color comes from vitellogenin whose precursor is carotenoids [ 49 ], AST also could increase egg storage time by delaying the decrease in yolk index and yolk color [ 50 ]. However, Zhu et al [ 45 ] showed that P. rhodozyma had no effect on shell thickness, Haugh unit (HU), shell strength, albumen height, and egg shape index. Meanwhile, the supplementation of AST from Haematococcus algae as much as 0.49%–0.47% which contains AST 0.35% and palm tocos into hens' diets did not affect performance or egg quality except for egg yolk color [ 47 ].…”

Recent interest in carotenoids has increased due to their antioxidant and production performance. Astaxanthin (AST) is a xanthophyll carotenoid abundantly distributed in microalgae, which is described as a highly potent antioxidant. Therefore, recent studies have tended to investigate the role of antioxidants in improving metabolic processes and physiological functioning of the body. It is now evident that AST could significantly reduce free radicals and oxidative stress and help to maintain a healthy state. Moreover, AST also could improve the performance of broiler chicken by increasing the daily feed intake, followed by improvement in the food conversion rate.

Aquaculture continues to expand swiftly and remains the fastest-growing food industry worldwide amidst ever-present threats from chronic stressors and emerging diseases. Nutrition plays a pivotal role in the profitability and viability of the aquaculture industry that steered a paradigm shift to therapeutic nutrition. Carotenoids, also termed tetraterpenoids, have garnered considerable attention owing to their therapeutic attributes and immeasurable health benefits, which incited a surge in global demand. These biological pigments are recognized to promote immune systems and antioxidant defence mechanisms in both aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates. This review brings forth existing scientific evidence and underscores the notable roles of carotenoids as biologically active constituents with anti-stress and immunostimulatory potentials in farmed aquatic animals whilst explicating possible mechanisms of action. Empirical data unequivocally established the modulatory functions of carotenoids on endogenous antioxidant enzymes, innate and adaptive arms of the immune response, as well as the expression of multiple antioxidant and immune-related genes. The comprehensive information presented is beneficial to deepen our understanding of the utilization of carotenoids as potent stress alleviators and immunostimulants in cultured aquatic animals, which is translated into improved health.Advancements in aquatic animal health and welfare could principally contribute to reconstructing a more sustainable aquaculture industry. This article may be useful for subsequent investigations towards further advances in research and innovation to a greener blue revolution in solving the challenge of global food security.
