“…Additionally, Adineh et al (Sarhadi et al, 2020) found that diets enriched with garlic extracts (10 g/kg) led to markedly increased crude protein and markedly reduced crude fat in whole fish body. Similar results were documented in O. niloticus and T. zillii fed with diets containing 30 and 10–30 g/kg garlic extract respectively (Ajiboye & Qari, 2016; Shalaby et al, 2006). It has been shown that garlic affects body protein metabolism caused by hormonal regulation through raising protein metabolism or stimulating hormone secretion (Srivastava & Pathak, 2012).…”

In the current study, growth performance, biochemical constituents of muscle, activities of enzymes in the haemolymph, and expressions of immune-related genes were evaluated in the giant freshwater prawns Macrobrachium rosenbergii fed diets supplemented with aqueous garlic (Allium sativum) extract at 0, 5, 10 and 20 g/kg (w/w) for 60 days. At the end of the feeding trial, weight gain and specific growth rate were significantly improved in garlic-fed prawn groups compared with the control (p < 0.05). Moreover, feed conversion ratio was significantly lower in the garlic-fed groups than in the control (p < 0.05). Activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in the hepatopancreas, activities of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and levels of albumin and total protein in the hemolymph were significantly increased in the garlic treatments (p < 0.05). Furthermore, garlic supplemented diets improved muscle biochemical profiles, particularly contents of crude protein and total ash and upregulations of immune deficiency and heat shock proteins (HSP70) gene expression (p < 0.05). Therefore, garlic has positive effects on growth performance and physio-biochemical responses of M. rosenbergii, and thus, it can be used as an additive for stress resistance and as a growth promoter in sustainable aquaculture.

“…Also, Shalaby et al (2006) showed that the crude protein content in whole fish increased significantly in the group fed on 30 g A. sativum/kg diet, while total lipids decreased significantly in the same group. Meanwhile, Ajiboye et al (2016) reported that increasing quantities of dried garlic (0, 1, 2 and 3%) in the diet of Monosex Tilapia zillii caused an evident increase of protein level and decrease of fat level. This situation may be due to increased digestibility and absorption of garlic nutritional content.…”

“…Garlic contains various organosulfur compounds, particularly allicin (Chi, Koh, & Stewart, 1982), which are responsible for various effects (Hosseini & Hosseinzadeh, 2015). The use of garlic in aquaculture has been shown to enhance growth (Ajiboye & Qari, 2016;Metwally, 2009;Shalaby, Khattab, & Abdel Rahman, 2006), promote the immune system (Lau, Yamasaki, & Gridley, 1991;Martins et al, 2002;Nya & Austin, 2009, strengthen the control of bacteria, viruses, and parasites (Aly & Mohamed, 2010;Nya & Austin, 2009), stimulate appetite (Ajiboye & Qari, 2016;Guo et al, 2015), and improve the flesh quality (Luo, He, Liu, & Li, 2008). Dietary supplementation of garlic (powder or extract) has been found to result in improved growth performance, increased activity of digestive enzymes and nonspecific immune system in juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Esmaeili, Abedian Kenari, & Rombenso, 2017), Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Aly & Mohamed, 2010;Shalaby et al, 2006), sterlet, Acipenser ruthenus (D.-H. Lee et al, 2014), and Whiteleg Shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei (Labrador, Guiñares, & Hontiveros, 2016;Lin, Li, Chen, Zheng, & Yang, 2006).…”

Although many studies have assessed the various effects of garlic on fish, the impact of garlic on steroid hormones has not been studied. In the present study, the effect of aqueous garlic extract on sex steroid hormones, fry production, digestive enzyme activities, growth performance, and survival of Poecilia reticulata were evaluated. A total of 360 P. reticulata fries (0.013 ± 0.001 g) were randomly stocked in 12 experimental glass tanks (50 L) at a density of 30 fish per tank. The fries were fed diets supplemented with aqueous garlic extract at 0 (Control), 1.00 (G1), 1.50 (G2), and 2.00 (G3) ml/kg diet three times a day at a ratio of 2.5% of their body weight for a period of 120 days. Results demonstrated that the inclusion of garlic extract in the diet did not have any significant effect on growth performance and fry production. The survival of G2 treatment was significantly higher than the control, G1 and G3 (p < .05). The concentrations of sex steroid hormones (estradiol, testosterone, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone and progesterone) and the activity of digestive enzymes (protease, lipase, and amylase) were significantly higher in G2, than the control and other treatments (p < .05). Based on polynomial regression models, the recommended dietary concentration of garlic extract for P. reticulata should be 1.64 ± 0.03 and
