“…Similar observation was reported by Akintayo et al [16]. Departed report was observed by Ali et al [17] who reported decrease glucose in the serum of rainbow trout examined for all treatments. Lesser values of Cholesterol in fish fed with all the experimental diets indicated low fat which makes the fish healthier instead of fat accumulation.…”

“…The increase level of Albumin in diets C and F given to the fish may be due to high percentage inclusion and beneficial ingredients in the diets. Similar report was made by Yadav et al [19] and Ali et al [17] who observed increased albumin with increasing percentage of plant extract than the control and ascribed it to boosting of immune responses of fish by supplemented diets. Deviated observation was reported by Adesina et al [5].…”

“…The same observation was noted by Obaroh et al [18] in sampled culture Clarias gariepinus in Kebbi State. Contrary opinion was reported by Ali et al (2021) who noted high cholesterol levels in the control. Decreased level of creatinine in the C. gariepinus presently studied was also observed by Adesina et al [5].…”

The mainpurpose of this research is to investigate the biochemical parameters and growth response of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings fed with Cirina forda larvae and Telfaria occidentalis and the proximate composition of the two leaves. Grounded meals of C. forda larvae and T. occidentalis leaves were administered on C. gariepinus fingerlings at percentage ratio labelled A – H for ten weeks. Each treatment had three replicates and stocked with 10 fingerlings per replicate in 50-litres plastic tank and were fed daily. Blood samples from three randomly selected fish per treatment were obtained and were used to determine biochemical parameters such as Glucose, Cholesterol, Creatinine, Total protein, Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Albumin, Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) and Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT) respectively using standard laboratory procedures. Blood samples for the analysis were collected in Lithium heparinized bottles to avoid clotting. Seven growth parameters; Final body weight (FBW), Body weight gain (BW), Specific growth rate (SGR), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Growth rate (GR), Relative growth rate (RGR), and % Survival rate were determined using their respective formulas. The mean ranges of 23.00 - 60.00 mg/dl, 96.67 – 113.67 mg/dl, 1.10 – 1.60 mg/dl, 3.5 – 5.5 mg/dl and 2.03 - 2.70 mg/dl were obtained for glucose, cholesterol, creatinine, total protein, and albumin. Each mean range did not exceed its respective control value and also fell within the normal physiological range for fish. Diets (A, C, D, E, F and G) had lower SGOT mean range of 238.00 – 360.33 Mmol/l was observed as compared to their control values. Diets that lack C. forda were (E, F, G and H) and each group recorded higher SGPT values than the control. Growth parameters values were highly significant (p<0.05) to those of their respective control values. The present study showed that the compounded diet stand a better chance of replacing conventional fish meal due to their impact on fish performances. However, there were significant differences (p<0.05) in moisture, ash and carbohydrate contents of experimental diets. This study has shown that compounded diets containing C. forda larvae and T. occidentalis leaves elicited comparable values to the conventional feeds.

“…Moreover, dietary supplementation with mango and guava leaf extracts significantly improves the RBA, globulin, and lysozyme activity in L. rohita [9]. The RBA and IgM were also found to be enhanced in rainbow trout fed lemon verbena (Aloysia triphylla) extract compared with the control [49].…”

A 56-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the dietary effect of Nigeria polyherbal mixture (PHB) on growth, haemato-immune parameters, antioxidant enzyme activities, and intestinal morphometry of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus. Four diets were formulated with PHB powder at inclusion of 0 g/kg (control), 0.5 g/kg (PHB 0.5), 1.0 g/kg (PHB 1.0), and 2.0 g/kg (PHB 2.0) and fed to African catfish ( 6.32 ± 0.02 g /fish, 15 fish/50 L tank) in triplicates. Fish fed PHB 2.0 recorded higher final weight, weight gain, and specific growth rate ( p < 0.05 ) compared to the control. There were no statistical differences ( p > 0.05 ) in feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio among the dietary groups. The haematological profile indicates that the fish fed PHB-1.0 had higher Hb, RBCs count, and Hct, and blood performance ( p < 0.05 ) compared to the control. ALT levels were found higher in the control and the lowest values recorded in PHB groups ( p < 0.05 ); however, AST did not differ significantly among the groups ( p > 0.05 ). The highest heterophil counts and respiratory burst activity were recorded in PHB-1.0 and PHB-0.5 and PHB-2.0, respectively, while a numerically improved total immunoglobulin value was recorded in PHB-0.5 compared to the control ( p > 0.05 ). Antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and catalase had a significant improvement in fish fed PHB-based diet compared to the control ( p < 0.05 ), while glutathione peroxidase showed no statistical differences between the groups ( p > 0.05 ). Intestinal morphometric measurements showed that the fish fed PHB-1.0 had the highest villus height, area of absorption, and villus height/cryptal depth ratio compared to the control. Muscle thickness increased ( p < 0.05 ) with increasing PHB level with the highest value recorded PHB-2.0. In conclusion, dietary PHB could improve growth, blood profile, immunity, antioxidant enzyme capacity, and intestinal morphometry of African catfish without any significant alteration in the liver function enzymes.
