“…Herbs are rich sources of immune-enhancing substances, herbal Immunostimulant in contrast to vaccines; it can be modulating the innate or nonspecific immune response. Herbal plant extracts have anti-bacterial activity against Aeromonas hydrophila and Pseudomonas [58]. The present study revealed that O. niloticus fed on 1% thyme and rosemary showed reducing in mortality rates (10%) after 6 th weeks feeding compared with (90%) mortality for controls Fig ( 1).…”

The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of thyme and rosemary as feed additives on growth performance, cellular immunity, and protection of Oreochromis niloticus against Aeromonas hydrophila. Fish were divided into 3 groups and fed on three experimental diets (basal diet 0%, 1% thyme, and 1% rosemary). Fish received thyme and rosemary treated diets showed a significant increase (P < 0.05) in weight gain rate, specific growth rate, and average body weight at 2 nd and 4 th weeks. Feed conversion ratio revealed significant increase at 4 th weeks for thyme treated group compared to the control. Intestino-somatic index was significantly increased (P < 0.05) in thyme fed group at 6 th weeks while Hepato-somatic index exhibited significant increase (P < 0.05) at 2 nd weeks post feeding for rosemary treated fish. Blood parameters showed that total erythrocytes, packed cell volume, hemoglobin concentration, total leucocytes and differential leukocytic count were significantly increased in thyme treated group at 6 th weeks. Fish fed on rosemary-supplemented diet revealed significant increase in total leukocytic counts at 4 th and 6 th weeks, while differential leukocytic count had significant increase along the experimental period. Serum lysozyme activity was significantly increased in thyme fed group along the whole period and in rosemary treated group at 2 nd and 4 th weeks in relation with control. Nitric oxide was significantly lower in thyme fed group than the control group. Antioxidant enzymes Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase and Glutathione Reductase revealed significant increase (P < 0.05) with significant decrease of malondialdehyde in thyme treated group in relation with control. Challenge infection by A. hydrophila showed highly significance protection with survivable rate of 90 % in groups fed with rosemary and thyme for 6 weeks. The results suggested that thyme and rosemary can be recommended as a supplementary for O. niloticus increasing the protection against A. hydrophila.

“…Further, the plant extracts of Boesenbergia pandurata (BP) and Zingiber zerumbet (ZZ) from East Kalimantan have in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity against A. hydrophila bacteria, while Solanum ferox (SF) has been found to be an antibacterial agent for P. fluorescens bacteria. Similarly, for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections in tilapia, BP and ZZ are also effective for treating A. hydrophila and P. fluorescens infection 8, 18 .…”

Background: The combination of some plant extracts to prevent and treat bacterial infections is gaining momentum, because of effectiveness against certain bacteria. This study aims to describe the antibacterial and immunostimulant abilities of Boesenbergia pandurata (BP), Solanum ferox (SF) and Zingiber Zerumbet (ZZ) plant extracts to treat and prevent Aeromonas hydrophila and Pseudomonas fluorescens infection on Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Methods: Tilapia (initial weight 15±2 g) were injected intramuscularly (0.1 ml/fish) with a combination of A. hydrophila and P. fluorescens at a density of 1×10 5 CFU ml -1 of each bacteria. Treatment trials were performed at day 7 post-injection with each combined extract, while the prevention trial was performed by including the combined extract into the commercial diet for six and seven days prior to injection. Various extract combinations were 60 mg SF extract/kg feed with 40 mg ZZ/kg feed (SF60/ZZ40), SF50/ZZ50, BP90/SF10, and BP50/SF50. Haemato-immunological parameters were performed for four weeks. Results: In prevention trials, tilapia fed SF50/ZZ50 showed a significant increase of white and red blood cells. Similarly, significantly increased haematocrit was found in tilapia fed SF50/ZZ50 in the treatment trial but not in the prevention trial. In both trials, haemoglobin of tilapia was not affected by any combined extracts but decreased the number of bacteria. Phagocytic index, respiratory burst, lysozyme activity and survival rate of fish fed combined extracts were found significantly higher than controls. The amount of pathogenic bacteria in fish fed combined extracts was lower than the control at week 4 (P<0.05). In both trials The percentage of survival rate and relative percent survival of tilapia fed SF 50/ZZ 50, showed the optimum results compared to the other combinations. Conclusions: The combined extract in feed, especially SF50/ZZ50 has a positive effect on the tilapia's innate immune system of tilapia to treat and prevent bacterial infections.

“…The challenge test was administered by using A. hydrophila (EA-01) and P. fluorescens (EP-02); the bacteria were appropriately prepared as per the method of Hardi et al . 6 , 35 The test was administered at Week 8, with 10 goldfish being exposed to a specific treatment; the fish were infected with the combined bacteria by means of intermuscular injection (0.1 mL each fish) of 10 5 CFU mL −1 of the bacteria at a 1:1 ratio. Subsequently, fish mortality was monitored from 24 h after the first injection until week 12.…”

“…The dose of BPE utilized in carp feed is 2, 4, 6 g kg À1 of fish feed, which is the dose used in tilapia tests. 5,6,10,30,35,48 Tilapia tests used this dose revealed an increase in growth and resistance to A. hydrophila and Pseudomonas sp. bacterial infections.…”

Background: This study investigated how the inclusion of Boesenbergia pandurata extract (BPE) in goldfish feed affects fish growth, immunity, and resistance to infection by Aeromonas hydrophila and Pseudomonas fluorescens. Methods: Four fish feeds, were prepared by adding BPE at the concentrations of 0 (control), 2, 4, and 6 g kg-1, respectively, and 120 goldfish (Cyprinus carpio; initial weight 5 g) were separated into 12 boxes and fed with specific pellets and examined thrice. The experiment lasted 12 weeks, beginning with the different feeds, fish growth was measured at Weeks 4 and 8 after the feeding period. Moreover, a challenge test with pathogen bacteria to assay disease resistance was administered at Week 8 after the feeding period, and the survival rate and relative percentage of survival were quantified at Week 12. Results: At Week 8, the goldfish that were fed BPE-containing feeds were significantly heavier than the fish that received the control feed (pellet without BPE), and the highest weight gain, reaching 72.44 g, was obtained with Pellet 3; accordingly, the specific growth rate after BPE treatment (5.7%) was higher than that after control treatment. Conversely, the feed conversion ratio in the control group, 2.03, was higher than the ratios in the BPE groups, which were decreased to 0.55–0.90. Lastly, BPE treatment consistently enhanced the immunity parameters of goldfish (relative to control treatment) at weeks 4 and 8, and following BPE treatment, the rate of resistance against bacterial infection, 68.3%–77.0%, was higher than that after control treatment. Conclusions: BPE addition in goldfish feed clearly produces a positive effect by enhancing fish growth, immunity, and resistance to infection by pathogenic bacteria, and 4 g kg-1 is the optimal BPE concentration in feed prepared for goldfish.
