The homeopathic product Homeopatila 100 ® in the diet of Nile tilapia reduces stress during production and improves the well-being of fish. The objective of this study was to develop nuggets of tilapia fed with Homeopatila 100 ® and to assess their quality. Physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory analyses were performed on three formulations with 25, 50 and 75% mechanically separated meat (MSM) for each of the treatments. The nuggets with 75% MSM revealed a higher pH (5.89 ± 0.02), the tissue was softer (1.29 N ± 0.04), and they had a higher lipid value (15.96% ± 0.05). With 50 and 75%, the color (L * ) was darker (60.76% ± 0.91 and 60.03% ± 0.78), and there were lower protein amounts (15.54% ± 0.31 and 13.55% ± 0.35). Nuggets had an acceptable value of lipid oxidation (0.672 ± 0.007 mg MDA/kg). The microbiological analyses demonstrated that the product met the requirements of legislation. Nuggets with 25 and 50% MSM were deemed acceptable. There was no difference (p > 0.05) between the control treatment group and the Homeopatila 100 ® group for the analysis undertaken. The results indicated that the use of Homeopatila 100 ® in the diet of the Nile tilapia did not change the physical, chemical, microbiological and sensorial quality characteristics of the nuggets, ensuring consumer acceptability.

“…Comparando os valores de lipídios totais de 0,61% (18) , 1,23% (19) e de 1,13% (8) , em filés de tilápias do Nilo (O. niloticus) com os valores de lipídios totais das cabeças dos diferentes tratamentos deste experimento, observou-se que foram superiores aos filés destes peixes. O rendimento de aproximadamente 14,5% das cabeças dos animais deste experimento em relação ao peixe inteiro, aliado aos valores elevados de lipídios totais, faz com que esse resíduo da indústria aquícola seja uma excelente fonte calórica, podendo apresentar um grande potencial como matéria-prima para a formulação de novos produtos alimentícios, especialmente por ser em uma fonte de baixo custo.…”

ResumoDuas dietas foram avaliadas, uma controle (T1), com adição de 40 mL de solução hidroalcoólica a cada kg de ração e outra (T2), com adição de 40 mL do produto Homeopático a cada kg de ração em tilápias do Nilo. Foram distribuídos 200 peixes em 10 aquários, totalizando 20 animais em cada aquário, onde permaneceram por 63 dias. Foi realizado o monitoramento dos parâmetros físicos e químicos da água, desempenho dos animais, determinação da composição centesimal e a composição de ácidos graxos em cabeças de tilápia do Nilo. Não houve diferença estatística significativa entre os tratamentos em relação aos parâmetros da água, desempenho, determinação de umidade, cinzas, proteína bruta, lipídios totais. As tilápias do Nilo que receberam o produto homeopático incorporado na ração apresentaram a razão AGPI/AGS superior ao do tratamento controle, apresentado diferença significativa. As cabeças das tilápias analisadas constituem uma excelente fonte de lipídios totais.Palavras-chave: Homeopatia, Aquicultura, Tilápia do Nilo, Desempenho, Ácidos graxos. AbstractTwo diets were evaluated, one control (T1), with the addition of 40 ml of hydroalcoholic solution to each kg of feed and other (T2) with 40 ml of the homeopathic product every kg of feed in Nile tilapia. 200 fish were distributed in 10 water tanks, totaling 20 animals in each of the boxes, where they remained for 63 days. During the experiment was carried out monitoring of the physical and chemical parameters of water, animal performance, determine the chemical composition and fatty acid composition in heads of Nile tilapia. there was no significant statistical difference between treatments in relation to physical and chemical water parameters, performance, moisture determination, ash, crude protein, total lipids. The Nile tilapia that received the homeopathic product incorporated in the feed showed the PUFA / SFA ratio higher than the control treatment presented significant difference. The heads of analyzed tilapia are an excellent source of total lipids.

“…23 Discovering if solvatochromic dyes are sensitive enough to detect changes in the polarity of large water volumes would be a critical step in evaluating the plausibility of using high dilutions in many field situations, such as environmental management, 24 organic agriculture 25 and in herd, broiler, and fish breeding, with a view to improving productivity. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] The aim of the current study was to explore whether the solvatochromic dye methylene violet (MV) could be used as a molecular detector of high dilutions in large water reservoirs, using phosphorus 30cH as a seeding solution.…”

Interaction between Solvatochromic Dyes and Water Sampled from a Natural Source Treated with High Dilutions of Phosphorus

et al. 2020

Background Highly diluted and succussed solutions interact with solvatochromic dyes, indicating that changes in solvent and solute polarity could be related to their mechanism of action. It is not known, however, how the activity associated with succussed high dilutions is transferred to untreated water and what the limits of this process are. Aims The aims of the present study were to ascertain whether a succussed high dilution of phosphorus (1.5 × 1−59 M; Phos 30cH) seeded into a natural water source that fed a fjord and two connected lakes could propagate itself through the lake system (total volume 2200 m3) and, moreover, whether the process could be tracked using solvatochromic dyes. Methods Samples of water were collected before and after seeding, at different times and places throughout the lake system. Controls comprised water taken from an untreated and adjacent, but independent, lake (1385 m3). Results Water samples taken up to 72 hours after the source treatment produced significant increases (p ≤ 0.03) in the absorbance of the solvatochromic dye methylene violet (MV), while samples from the control lake produced no changes. Conclusions The study indicates that activity associated with Phos 30c can propagate itself through large volumes of water, causing changes throughout a whole connected lake system, and that these changes can be tracked using the solvatochromic dye MV. This in turn means the use of homeopathic medicines in large volumes of drinking water, in farming and ecological contexts, now has the potential to be assessed with physico-chemical monitoring.

Effect of an homeopathic complex on fatty acids in muscle and performance of the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Abstract: Nile tilapia juveniles that received the HomeoAqua Mega-3(®) in their diets had a decrease in the TL rates, mainly for the SFAs, and the n-6/n-3 ratio, compared with the control group, without any changes in the animal performance during the experimental period.
