“…The inclusion of S. longepedunculata in a dietary supplement of Clarias gariepinus caused a significant reduction in egg weight and fecundity count at the two different concentrations of the plant extract. The testosterone, progesterone and estrogen values as well as the milt volume, sperm motility and milt count were significantly reduced (p<0.05) in fish fed with diet inclusion of 1.0 ml S. longepedunculata (Ademola et al, 2017;Ajiboye et al, 2012;Akah and Nwambie, 1994). This also agrees with the finding of Dandekar et al (2002) that S. longepedunculata contains some compounds that have negative effect on animal reproductive parameters.…”

“…S. longepedunculata inclusion also improves spermatogenesis in low concentration but at high dose, there was low sperm count and low motility which could be as a result of toxicity of the extract (Akah and Nwambie, 1994). The testosterone, progesterone and estrogen values as well as the milt volume, sperm motility and milt count were significantly reduced (p<0.05) in fish fed with diet inclusion of 1.0 ml S. Longepedunculata (Ademola et al, 2017).…”

“…The inclusion effects of 0.5 ml/kg C. populnea extract and inclusion of S. longepedunculata showed that C. populnea plant extract enhanced the reproductive profiles of male and female C. gariepinus brood stocks and brought about a significant increase in egg weight but on the other hand the inclusion of S. longepedunculata caused a significant reduction in egg weight at the two different concentrations of the plant extract while fish on diet 4 (0.5ml/kg SL) showed the lowest fecundity count. The reduction could be attributed to the concentration of toxic substances in the leaves of the plant (Ademola et al, 2017). S. longepedunculata inclusion also improves spermatogenesis in low concentration but at high dose, there was low sperm count and low motility which could be as a result of toxicity of the extract (Akah and Nwambie, 1994).…”

The aim of this work was to determine the effect of the root-bark extract of Securidaca longepedunculata in the improvement of fertility in buck rabbits as envisioned by morphometric indices of the testes. Testicular morphometry of New Zealand rabbits was studied following treatment with different doses of the extract. The extract was administered per os in three doses of 0, 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight to three treatment groups of rabbits A, B, and C respectively for 29 days in a completely randomized designed (CRD). Eighteen mature buck rabbits between the ages of 18 and 24 months and with initial body weight (1.1 to 1.9 kg) were used. Each group comprised of three rabbits replicated twice. After the period of treatment, rabbits were weighed and sacrificed. Mean absolute paired testes weight, testes length and testes width were obtained and expressed relative to body weight at sacrifice. The results showed a significant difference in the mean relative paired testes weight, testes length and testes width between groups (p<0.05). The treated group given 50 mg/kg body weight of the extract had the highest mean absolute and relative paired testes weight of 3.325 ± 0.1349 a g and 0.2098 ± 0.0139 a % with mean absolute and relative testes length of 2.4522 ± 0.0250 a cm and 0.1538 ± 0.0040 a %. While the group given 100 mg/kg body weight of the extract had the lowest values of 2.634 ± 0.2762 b g and 0.1565 ± 0.0124 b % with mean absolute and relative paired testes length of 2.1600 ± 0.0807 b cm and 0.1299 ± 0.0039 b % respectively. It was concluded that administration of the extract at 50 mg/kg body weight yielded higher testicular parameters of buck rabbits. It was recommended that the use of the extract in bucks should be done with caution in relation to dose and length of treatment and that a detailed research should be carried out to evaluate the semen quality of bucks treated with 50 mg/kg the extract.

“…The rising cost of feed ingredients from aquaculture is often attributed to the cost and degree of incorporation of the ingredients (Garza de Yta et al 2012). In addition, the use of multiple plant-based protein sources is controlled for various specific nutrients and unevenness in amino acid composition (Oujifard et al 2012;Aderolu et al, 2017;Ayoola et al, 2019). Consequently, more cost-effective vegetable proteins with no or minimal nutritional factors are seriously considered as alternative sources.…”

This study investigated the effects of extruded pineapple pomace diet on growth and apparent digestibility coefficient of catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Four dietary extruded treatments of pineapple pomace Control (0%), T1 (10%), T2 (15%) and T3 (20 %) were fed ad libitum to catfish (21.05±0.04 g) for 60days. The final weight (53.52 - 57.45 g), weight gain (31.98 - 35.88 g) and feed conversion ratio (1.26 – 1.38) were relatively increased, while treatments up to 15% of pineapple pomace inclusion showed better performance. Fish survival rate (90.32 - 96.78%) showed significant difference. There were no significant differences (P0.05) in carcass composition among different dietary treatments. Apparent digestibility coefficient for crude protein, crude fibre and ash were highest in T2 (15%) and T3 (20%). The results indicated that pineapple pomace flour can be an ingredient in catfish diet for up to 20%. Key words: extruded; growth; apparent digestibility coefficient; carcass; proximate.

“…While the effect of garlic and other herbs has been well studied on the health and growth performance, there is limited evidence regarding the effects of herbal medicines on the reproductive performance of fish. Results of a study on the African catfish, Clarias gariepinus , treated with 0.5 mg/kg of Cissus populnea extract showed a significant increase in the levels of testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen, while the use of 1 mg/kg of Securidaca longepedunculata extract reduced the levels of sex steroids; and sperm quality indices were also significantly reduced in fish receiving S. longepedunculata extract (Ademola, Muyideen, Luke, Funmileyi, & Faith, 2017). Studies conducted separately on the convict cichlid, Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum , have shown that the administration of dietary Tribulus terrestris extract and essential oil of fennel, Foeniculum vulgare , can increase the reproductive performance including fecundity, fertility, and hatching rate of the fish (Sotoudeh & Yeganeh, 2017; Yeganeh, Sotoudeh, & Movaffagh, 2017).…”

Although many studies have assessed the various effects of garlic on fish, the impact of garlic on steroid hormones has not been studied. In the present study, the effect of aqueous garlic extract on sex steroid hormones, fry production, digestive enzyme activities, growth performance, and survival of Poecilia reticulata were evaluated. A total of 360 P. reticulata fries (0.013 ± 0.001 g) were randomly stocked in 12 experimental glass tanks (50 L) at a density of 30 fish per tank. The fries were fed diets supplemented with aqueous garlic extract at 0 (Control), 1.00 (G1), 1.50 (G2), and 2.00 (G3) ml/kg diet three times a day at a ratio of 2.5% of their body weight for a period of 120 days. Results demonstrated that the inclusion of garlic extract in the diet did not have any significant effect on growth performance and fry production. The survival of G2 treatment was significantly higher than the control, G1 and G3 (p < .05). The concentrations of sex steroid hormones (estradiol, testosterone, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone and progesterone) and the activity of digestive enzymes (protease, lipase, and amylase) were significantly higher in G2, than the control and other treatments (p < .05). Based on polynomial regression models, the recommended dietary concentration of garlic extract for P. reticulata should be 1.64 ± 0.03 and
