“…Additionally, CF and SR did not change significantly among the groups. Growth-promoting properties of various plants in aquatic animals are well reported (Reverter et al, 2014;Panase et al, 2018). The previous report indicated that Pacific white leg shrimp fed the diet containing S. cumini leaf power at 1% for 28 days produced a significant enhancement of growth indices including WG, SGR, and protein efficiency ratio compared with the control (Prabu et al, 2018).…”

“…As noted, the results indicated that the relative weights of the heart, intestine, stomach, kidney, and spleen of fish fed the diets containing DSCF were significantly greater than those of fish fed the basal diet. Previous studies have revealed that increased organ weight is related to abiotic and biotic factors, which can cause an increase in hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the cell due to the improvement in cell metabolism or cell division (Dekić et al, 2016;Panase et al, 2018). The result of this study is in line with the report of Panase et al (2018) who indicated that hybrid catfish that were fed with the diets supplemented with Euphorbia hirta leaf extract at the levels of 300, 500, and 800 mg/kg for 90 days showed significant increases in viscerosomatic index, hepatosomatic index, and intraperitoneal fat compared with the control.…”

Therefore, it is possible to hypothesize that some active compounds found in DSCF may activate cell division and differentiation in internal organs, resulting in the enhancement of the relative organ weight observed in the study (Serrano et al, 2012;Panase et al, 2018).…”

This research was aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with dried S. cumini flesh (DSCF) on growth and physiological parameters in hybrid catfish (Clarias macrocephalus × C. gariepinus). Fish (initial weight of 14.00 ± 1.00 g) were divided into four groups and fed with the diets containing DSCF at 0 (control), 1, 3 and 5% / kg diet for 8 weeks. After the experimental period, final weight, final length, weight gain, specific growth rate, average daily gain, and feed conversion efficiency were markedly increased, whereas feed conversion ratio was significantly decreased in the treated fish compared with the control fish (P<0.05). The condition factor and survival rate did not differ significantly among the treatments (P>0.05). Intestinal morphology was significantly improved in fish fed with DSCF containing diets (P<0.05). No changes in white blood cell, red blood cell, hemoglobin, and hematocrit were observed between the treatments (P>0.05). Meanwhile, the platelet was significantly increased in the tested fish compared with the control fish (P<0.05). Aspartate aminotransferase, albumin, total protein, creatinine, uric acid, and triglyceride levels did not differ significantly between the treatments (P>0.05). Serum glucose in fish fed with DSCF diet was significantly increased, while serum alkaline phosphatase was significantly lowered in the experimental groups compared to the control group (P<0.05). Overall, these results indicate that the usefulness of DSCF as a phytogenic additive in aquafeeds with an effective level rage from 2.60 to 2.72%/kg diet.

Kefa forest honey and Euphorbia hirta have an antibacterial effect against pathogenic bacteria in fish. This work investigated the combination of honey and E. hirta against Vibrio alginolitycus in the hybrid grouper Epinephelus fuscoguttatus. The active ingredients and antibacterial activity of Kefa forest honey and E. hirta were tested in vitro at different concentrations using the disk method. The experimental animals were injected with V. alginolitycus suspension at a concentration of 106 cells ml−1/fish. After the fish showed symptoms of infection, the treatment was carried out for 5 consecutive days by immersion in the mixture of 25% Kefa honey and E. hirta at different concentrations of honey and E. hirta combinations. After treatment, the fish were monitored for 7 days. During the study, observations on hematology and clinical symptoms were made. The results showed that the combination of Kefa honey and E. hirta had antibacterial activity against V. alginolitycus in vitro and in vivo can increase the hematological profile of grouper and alleviate clinical symptoms due to V. alginolitycus infection. The results showed that administration of a combination Kefa forest honey and E. hirta was effective as a cure for V. alginolyticus infection in grouper.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the effects of a potential probiotic feed mixture containing Pseudomonas putida, in comparison to a yeast product (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), on the growth, immune response, and protection against Aeromonas hydrophila infection in Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus.MethodsNile Tilapia were divided into three groups and subjected to a 60‐day feeding regimen: the first group served as a control, receiving a commercial diet; the second group received a basal diet mixed with 1 × 107 CFU/g diet of P. putida; and the third group was fed a basal diet mixed with 1 g/kg diet of dried S. cerevisiae, resulting in a final concentration of 107 CFU/g of feeds. After 2 months of supplementation, various parameters including survival rate, body weight gain, feed conversion rate, specific growth rate, serum lysozyme activity, phagocytic activity, nitroblue tetrazolium activity, and disease resistance against A. hydrophila were evaluated.ResultBoth probiotic‐treated groups exhibited significant improvements compared to the control group. Specifically, enhanced survival rates, body weight gains, feed conversion rates, and specific growth rates were observed in the probiotic‐treated groups. Moreover, these groups demonstrated increased serum lysozyme, phagocytic, and nitroblue tetrazolium activities, indicative of an improved immune response. Notably, the probiotic‐treated groups displayed enhanced resistance against A. hydrophila infection. Histopathological examination revealed that P. putida significantly augmented the nonspecific immune response in Nile Tilapia.ConclusionThis preliminary study underscores the potential benefits of P. putida supplementation in Nile Tilapia diets. The inclusion of P. putida resulted in enhanced growth performance, improved immune status, and effective control of A. hydrophila infection. These findings suggest that P. putida holds promise as a valuable component in feed mixtures for promoting the growth and health of Nile Tilapia.
