“…Similar effects have been found for different plant extracts tested on various fish species (44,45). In a recent study by Ghafarifarsani et al (28), a combination of medicinal plants was found effective on digestive enzymes regardless of the inclusion level. However, in the present study, the activity of digestive enzymes was decreased in the highest inclusion levels.…”

Medicinal plants exhibit remarkable positive effects on different aspects of fish physiology. This study aimed to evaluate the possible impact of a combination of plants (Mentha longifolia, Thymus carmanicus, and Trachyspermum copticum) on growth performance, immune responses and key immune gene expression of rainbow trout. For this purpose, four diets were designed, including zero, 0.25, 0.5, and 1% of a mixture of plants per kg of diet, representing dietary treatments of control, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. Two hundred forty fish (weighing 23.11 ± 0.57 g) were fed 3% of body weight twice a day for 45 days. The results showed that growth parameters of weight gain (except for T1) and FCR were significantly improved in fish receiving all levels of plants, with T3 showing the best growth results. Digestive enzymes activities were notably increased in T1 and T2 compared to the control. Stress biomarkers (glucose and cortisol) were significantly decreased in T1 and T2, while T3 was not significantly different from the control. Immunological responses were significantly improved in T2, while T1 andT3 did not show a statistical difference in terms of lysozyme activity. Catalase activity was noticeably decreased in T1, although superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde were highest in T2. Immune-related genes were significantly up-regulated in T3 compared to other treatments. Also, antioxidant enzyme coding genes were strongly up-regulated in T2 and T3. Overall, the present results suggest that 1% inclusion of the mixture of M. longifolia, T. carmanicus, and T. copticum (T2) can be used to improve the growth and immunity of rainbow trout.

“…For example, oregano EO has been used in sea bass feed at a 200 ppm of feed concentration for 60 days without generating mortality or adverse effects [41]. Similarly, Ghafarifarsani et al [42] showed that a 5% inclusion of garlic and oregano extract in carp feed produced no adverse effects. Moreover, EC 50 obtained for CEO in our study was higher (i.e., less toxic) than Greek herbs (e.g., Artemisia dracunculus, Achillea millefolium, Matricaria chamomilla, Salvia pomifera, S. officinalis, and S. fruticosa), which ranged from 0.005 up to 0.71 mg mL −1 [40].…”

Aquaculture procedures usually induce stress that affects the physiological status of fish. For this reason, the inclusion of additives in fish feeds to palliate stress might be a good alternative. This study aimed to assess the antimicrobial activity of citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) essential oil (CEO) against bacterial pathogens and to determine its dietary impact on the growth performance of Sparus aurata. In vitro tests confirmed that CEO possesses antimicrobial activity against several fish-specific pathogens. For the in vivo tests, three experimental groups were fed for 60 days with different concentrations of CEO: CTRL (0 mL kg−1 fish feed); CEO1 (1 mL kg−1 fish feed); and CEO2 (2 mL kg−1 fish feed). At the end of the experiment, the physiological status was characterized. Subsequently, the specimens of the CTRL and CEO2 groups were subjected to a challenge with an injection of Poly I:C for immune stimulation. Although S. aurata individuals tolerated CEO inclusion without compromising growth performance, it significantly reduced glycogen in the CEO2 group, concomitant to an increment of total peripheral leucocytes. Moreover, different hematological profiles’ responsive patterns against an inflammatory stimulus were observed. In conclusion, our results suggest that the use of CEO as a fish feed additive can prevent bacterial outbreaks and improve potential in vivo disease resistance in S. aurata without negatively affecting growth.

“…Dietary supplements, including plant‐based supplements, are currently used to keep health and to treat many diseases in humans and animals (Fattepur et al, 2018; Gondo, 2021; Othman et al, 2019; Roslan & Shariff, 2021; Shalaby, 2015, 2018; Shalaby, Sakoury, Harthi, et al, 2020; Shalaby, Sakoury, Kholif, et al, 2020; You et al, 2021; Zharif et al, 2018). During the last decade, many studies have reported the medicinal, antioxidant, immunogenic and antibacterial properties of medicinal plants and their derivatives in fish (Ahmadifar et al, 2019; Farsani et al, 2019; Rashidian, Bahrami Gorji, et al, 2020; Van Doan et al, 2020; Bibi et al, 2021; DeiviArunachalam et al, 2021; Ghafarifarsani Kachuei et al, 2021; Ghafarifarsani, Hoseinifar, Adorian, et al, 2021; Ghafarifarsani, Hoseinifar, Talebi, et al, 2021; Ghafarifarsani, Rashidian, et al, 2021; Qahir et al, 2021; Rashidian et al, 2021; Yousefi, Farsani, et al, 2021; Yousefi, Ghafarifarsani et al, 2021; Raissy et al, 2022; Yousefi et al, 2022). However, the identification and introduction of the new species with immunogenic and antibacterial properties can be useful for aquaculture enhancement.…”

In the present study, the effect of Dracocephalum kotschyi essential oil (DKE) was investigated on growth, haematology, immune and antioxidant defence system and resistance of rainbow trout juveniles to bacterial infection (Aeromonas hydrophila). For this purpose, the fish were fed a diet containing different concentrations of DKE including 0 (control), 0.2, 0.25 and 0.3 mg/kg diet in three replicates for 60 days. After feeding trial, the fish were challenged with a pathogenic dose of A. hydrophila. Based on the results, immune components in plasma (alternative complement activity [ACH 50 ], IgM content, lysozyme activity, total protein and total albumin) and mucus (protease activity, IgM content and lysozyme activity) significantly elevated in fish fed diet containing 0.2 and 0.25 mg DKE/kg diet compared with other groups (p < 0.01). The plasma bactericidal activity increased in all DKE-supplemented fish. Supplementation of fish with 0.3 mg DKE/kg diet depressed the mucosal lysozyme activity and IgM content.
