Dietary low‐fat content supplemented with oxytetracycline impairs physiological functions in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings

Abstract:Nutrition modulates the vulnerability of animals to xenobiotics insults including antibiotics in cultured fish. However, studies exploring the role of low‐fat diet (LFD) in modulating adverse effects of antibiotics are currently limited. This study explored the physiological effects of feeding LFD supplemented with oxytetracycline (OTC) in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings. Thirty Nile tilapia (8.64 ± 0.44 g) were tagged and randomly stocked into three tanks and fed on a control diet (CD, 70 g/k… Show more
