“…The highest leukocyte counts observed in the P4 group fed with 60 g kg -1 EAE supplementation might be due to the immune-boosting properties of anthraquinone that can be found in the EAE. This study is in agreement with the previous finding of Kumar et al (2015) who reported that dietary anthraquinone, at a 1% incorporation level, augmented hematological parameters. Hematological parameters such as total leukocyte counts, and lymphocyte, neutrophil and monocyte counts are pivotal in assessing the physiological condition of fish.…”

“…The improvement of growth indices and hematoimmunological profile of fish are closely related to the digestive enzyme activity which in turn leads to breakdown of large biomolecules into small absorbable nutrient molecules in the intestines of the fish (Cho 1987;Kumar et al 2015). Our results showed that dietary inclusion of EAE increased digestive enzyme activities of P. hypophthalmus.…”

“…Liu et al (2010) and Kumar et al (2015) revealed that the dietary anthraquinone augmented weight gain and feed efficiency in the freshwater prawn species Macrobrachium rosenbergii, and also improved growth indices and total leukocyte count in fingerlings of the carp, Cirrhinus mrigala. In this current study, we found that the supplementation of the diet with extracts of the bulb Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (EAE) enhanced final weight and AWG of the fish.…”

Abstract. Nugroho RA, Meylianawati, Asokawati OF, Sari YP, Hardi EH. 2018. The effects of dietary Eleutherine bulbosa on the growth, leukocyte profile, and digestive enzymes activity of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. Nusantara Bioscience 10: 47-52. This study was conducted to examine the effects of Eleutherine bulbosa (Mill.) Urb extract (EAE) on the average weekly gain (AWG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency (FE), digestive enzyme (amylase, lipase, protease) activity, total and differential leukocyte counts, and phagocytosis activity of the striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus). Four groups of fish with three replicates were fed 15 (P1), 30 (P2), 45 (P3), and 60 (P4) g kg -1of EAE in a basal diet and compared with control (C) fish without EAE at a rate 3% of body weight for 4 weeks. At the end of the trial, the results showed that fish fed EAE above 15 g kg EAE increased amylase activity in the fish while the highest number of leukocytes and phagocytosis activity was found in the fish fed 30 g kg -1 EAE in the diet. These findings suggest that the inclusion of EAE in the diet, in amounts higher than 30 g kg -1 , is beneficial in improving amylase, leukocyte and phagocytosis activity of fish.

“…However, the overdose of AA would not be favourable to growth, which might probably cause imbalance of bacterial population in intestine as reported by Liu et al (2004) or affect the palatability of feed resulting into immune-suppression and negative effects on growth. To support our findings Kumar et al (2015) reported reduction in growth % and SGR in C. mrigala fingerlings at higher doase (2%) of dietary anthraquinone extracts. Dietary yeast glucan (Macrogard) and alginic acid (Ergosan) had no effect on sea bass Dicentrachus labrax growth performance (Bagni et al, 2005).…”

A 60 days feeding trial was conducted to study the effects of dietary alginic acid (AA) on growth and haemato-immunological responses in Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings. One hundred eighty fingerlings were randomly distributed into five treatments in triplicates. Five diets were prepared with graded level of alginic acid and were designated as: control (Basal feed + 0% AA), T1 (Basal feed + 0.2% AA), T2 (Basal feed + 0.4% AA), T3 (Basal feed + 0.6% AA) and T4 (Basal feed + 0.8% AA). Higher weight gain % and specific growth rate (SGR) were observed in T2 group. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) value was found significantly lower in T2 group. Total leucocytes and erythrocytes counts were significantly (P<0.05) increased in T2 group. Highest (P<0.05) haemoglobin content was observed in T2. Higher (P<0.05) serum protein, albumin and globulin were manifested in T2. Albumin/globulin ratio was lowest in T2 group. Higher respiratory burst activity (NBT) was observed in T3. Highest activity of catalase and super oxide dismutase (SOD) were manifested in T2. Lowest lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activities reported in T2. Overall findings suggested that alginic acid at 0.4% dietary level augments growth and haemato-immunological responses in C. mrigala fingerlings.

“…Intensive Aquaculture extracts have been tested against bacteria in fish (Yeh et al, 2009). Similarly, feed incorporated with herb extracts enhanced the non-specific immune responses in Cirrhinus mrigala against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Sivagurunathan et al, 2011;Kumar et al, 2015). Lapsi fruit pulp (Choerospondias axillaris) is rich in vitamin C content (Shah, 1978) and phenolic and flavonoid compounds (Zhou, 2003), which not only enhances growth, immune power (Chunmei et al, 2013) against the diseases.…”

The complete blood cell count (CBC) is an important and powerful diagnostic tool to monitor the health status of fish in response to changes related to nutrition, water quality, and disease in response to therapy.Thus, the present study was about to know the effect of lapsi fruit pulp (Choerospondias axillaris) on some blood parameters in the fingerlings of rohu Labeo rohita cultured in Corona of Agriculture Hatchery farm, Chitwan, Nepal. Altogether eighteen hapas made of heavy-duty nylon net (1.5m3) were kept and placed inside the pond, distributed linearly, and then 270 fingerlings (@15 fishes/ hapa) were kept distributed randomly. Six practical diets like T1 (0.0 g kg-1), T2 (0.1 g kg-1), T3 (0.2 g kg-1), T4 (0.4 g kg-1), T5 (0.8 g kg-1) and T6 (1.6 g kg-1) were prepared. Feed containing 40% protein was supplemented with the ethanol extract of lapsi fruits. At the end of 90 days of the feeding trial, a significant difference (P< 0.05) in blood parameters were observed between the treated and control diet-fed groups. Hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), packed cell volume (PCV), and other erythrocyte indices were recorded higher in the treated groups. RBC, WBC, Hct, and Hb were found significantly higher in the T4 (0.4 %) diet-fed group. The study showed a minimum of 0.4 % (0.4g kg-1) lapsi fruit extract needed in fish feeds to increase blood parameters to enhance growth and immunity.
