“…So more detailed work can be done in this regard. Our result is different from Talpur (2013) who gained significant enhancement in FCR in Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch) fed with Mentha piperita (Peppermint) but similar with Khatun et al (2015) who studied Effect of Black Cumin Seed Oil (Nigella sativa) on Enhancement of Immunity in the Climbing Perch, Anabas testudineus. Adel, Safari, Pourgholam, Zorriehzahra, & Esteban, (2015) also have gained increase in growth rate but decrease in FCR like our results.…”

“…N. sativa seeds and oils have been commonly used as treatment for a variety of health conditions pertaining to the respiratory system, digestive tract, kidney and liver functions, cardiovascular system, and immune system support, as well as for general wellbeing (Ahmad et al, 2013). N. sativa also has a wide range of applications in aquaculture such as enhancement of immunity (Khatun et al, 2015;Dorucu, Colak, Ispir, Altınterim, &Celayir, 2009;Khondoker et al, 2016;Awad, Austin & Lyndon, 2013) and shelf life of fish (Ozpolat & Duman, 2016). Dorucu et al (2009) used N. sativa at a rate of 1, 2.5 and 5% for 21 days and determined serum protein and total immunoglobulin level, hematocrit (Hct), leukocyte levels, glass-adherent NBT positive cell activation of O. mykiss.…”

Khatun et al, (2015) studied effect of Black cumin seed oil (Nigella sativa) on enhancement of immunity in the climbing perch, Anabas testudineus and investigated immunological parameters such as bactericidal activity and phagocytic activity. Also Khondoker et al, (2016) used Nigella sativa in 2%, 4% and 6% doses and investigated immunological parameters such as bactericidal activity and phagocytic activity.…”

In this study the effect of black cumin seed (Nigella sativa) on nonspecific defense mechanisms of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was investigated. The percentage of black cumin seed in diet were 0.0; 0.5; 1.0; 2.5; 5.0; 10.0 and 20.0 g/kg respectively. Rainbow trout (O. mykiss) of initial weights 108.7±17g were used for experiment. The biometric measurements and the blood parameters were determined in each group after feeding 7, 15, 25, 40 and 60 days respectively. In 7 day experiment, plasma protein, MCH, MCHC, RDW_SD and RDW_CV, MPV values at 1.0 and 2.5 g/kg dose groups differed favorably from the control group. In 15 day feeding experiment, there is a positive mathematical difference in almost all parameters in the 2.5 g/kg dose group compared to control group. In 25 day experiment, there is a positive mathematical difference according to control group in almost all parameters and statistically significant difference between MCH and MPV values in the 2.5 g/kg dose group (P<0.05). In 40 day feeding experiment, plasma protein, MCV, RDW_CV, PLT values differed positively from the control group at the 1.0 and 2.5 g/kg dose groups and mathematical differences were observed in other parameters. In 60 day feeding experiment, at the doses of 1.0 and 2.5 g/kg, many parameters differ from the control group and from the other groups.

This feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary black seed (Nigella sativa) supplementation on the growth performance, muscles proximate composition, antioxidant and histo-biochemical parameters of rohu (Labeo rohita). Fingerlings (8.503 ± 0.009 g) were fed on 0.0%, 1% and 2.5% black seed supplemented diets for 28 days. Fish sampling was done on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day of experiment. The results of the present study indicated that black seed supplementation significantly increased growth performance and muscles protein contents of rohu over un-supplemented ones. Lipid peroxidation levels significantly decreased in all the studied tissues (liver, gills, kidney and brain) of black seed fed rohu, whereas the antioxidant enzymes (catalase, glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase and reduced glutathione) activities were increased in all the studied tissues of black seed supplemented rohu at each sampling day. The hepatic-nephric marker enzymes levels were decreased for black seed fed rohu. The present study showed that tested black seed levels are safe for rohu. Black seed is cheaply available in local markets of Pakistan; therefore, based on the results of the present study, it is suggested that black seed has potential to be used as natural growth promoter and antioxidant in the diet of rohu.
