“…Insignificant effect of heavy metals on percentages of protein and lipid in some treatments could be due to the complexity of the interaction between different concentrations of activated charcoal and heavy metals which requires further investigation. It is worth to mention that the results of this study are similar to the reports about increasing amounts of carcass protein by rising amount of dietary charcoal in Nile tilapia (Abdel‐Tawwab, El‐Sayed, & Shady, ; Boonanuntanasarn et al, ), Red tilapia (Michael et al, ), and Japanese flounder (Thu et al, ). The above studies suggested that the digestibility of dietary protein increases dramatically in charcoal‐contained diets, giving rise to protein content of fish fed activated charcoal compared with the control group.…”

“…There are also different reports focused on other carcass components such as moisture, total lipid and ash. For example, Boonanuntanasarn et al (), Thu et al () and Michael et al () reported no significant differences in other components other than protein, while Abdel‐Tawwab, El‐Sayed, and Shady () accounted a significant difference in above components. Typically, changes in body lipid and protein contents were caused by changes in the amount of their synthesis or degradation in the body, resulting in reductions in total body protein and lipid after challenging with heavy metals because of their use to provide energy against the ensuing stress, a process observed in the control group measurements.…”

“…On the other hand, Pirarat, Boonananthanasarn, Krongpong, Katagiri, and Maita () fed Nile tilapia with 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% of activated charcoal for 30 days and observed an optimal growth in concentration of 2% (20 g/kg diet). The same values of activated charcoal are fed to Nile tilapia which resulted in no significant differences in the growth performance (Boonanuntanasarn et al, ). There are also contrasting observations about other fish species.…”

“…The effect of adding activated charcoal to the diet of some fish species has been investigated by several researchers, indicating its positive effects on the growth efficiency, bodily chemical composition and removal of heavy metals, including those in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ; Abdel‐Tawwab, El‐Sayed, & Shady, ), hybrid red tilapia ( O. mossambicus × O. niloticus ; Michael et al, ) and Japanese flounder ( Paralichthys olivaceus ; Thu, Koshio, Ishikawa, & Yokoyama, ). On the other hand, Boonanuntanasarn, Khaomek, Pitaksong, & Hua, , concluded that adding activated charcoal in fish diets has no significant positive effect. They used 10–30 g of activated charcoal per kg of diet to study their effect on the growth parameters of Nile tilapia which was attributed to the reduced fish appetite due to the negative effect of activated charcoal on the physical properties of the extruded pellet and the colour of diet.…”

In order to determine the chelating effect of activated charcoal, a total of 150 beluga (270 g) were fed for 60 days with a diet containing 0 (control), 5, 10, 15 and 20 g activated charcoal per kg. Afterwards, the fish were subjected to challenging with 1 mg/L of each of heavy metals including lead, cadmium and copper during seven days. As results, the highest percentage of body weight gain, specific growth rate, condition factor, protein efficiency ratio and the lowest feed conversion ratio before and after challenging with heavy metals were obtained in 15 g treatment with significant differences comparing to other treatment (p < .05). In all treatments, considerable differences were observed between two experimental stages of all parameters except condition factor and feed conversion ratio (p < .05). No mortalities were observed during the experiment. Before challenging with heavy metals, 15 g treatment showed the lowest activities of AST and ALT enzymes, and uric acid, protein, albumin and cholesterol amounts. The minimum amounts of creatinine and glucose were recorded in the control and 20 g treatments respectively. The highest levels of these parameters, except for creatinine and uric acid, were measured in the control group.After challenging with heavy metals, the lowest levels of AST and ALT enzyme activities, uric acid, creatinine, and glucose, and the highest amounts of protein, albumin and cholesterol belonged to 15 g, whereas the results in the control group were almost opposite. In all treatments, significant differences were observed between two experimental stages of all parameters except AST, uric acid, glucose and cholesterol (p < .05). In the pre-challenge stage, the maximum amount of carcass protein was observed in 15 g while the differences in lipid content were not significant (p > .05).Moreover, the highest contents of moisture and ash were measured in the control group and 20 g respectively. After the challenge, the highest values of protein and lipid were quantified in 15 g, while the maximum values of ash and moisture were observed in 20 g and control group respectively. Also, significant differences were observed just in ash and moisture amounts in both stages (p < .05). Accumulations of cadmium, copper and lead were maximal in the control group in both stages, and their amount were decreased in sample with 15 g of activated charcoal until they reached How to cite this article: Samadaii S, Bahrekazemi M.

“…The use of charcoal in the diets of food animals has received attention owing to its non‐nutritive and nondigestible properties that render it the ability to adsorb toxins from the gastrointestinal tract thus preventing their absorption into the body. Previous research has demonstrated that charcoal supplemented in the feed can improve fish growth, flesh quality, and intestinal function (Boonanuntanasarn et al., ). However, considering that charcoal is a nonspecific adsorbent, its application in the diets of food animals may potentially cause the adsorption of not only toxins but also nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract.…”

This study investigated the effect of dietary bamboo charcoal (BC) supplementation on the growth performance and health status of juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). A 63-day feeding trial was carried out wherein the carp were reared on diets containing increasing levels of BC (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 4%). Treatment with BC did not produce any obvious effect (p > .05) on the growth performance of the juvenile common carp and on the overall muscle fatty acid composition. However, significant improvements (p < .05) were reported on serum indicators such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total protein (TP), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and glucose (GLU) with the 4% inclusion level producing the most beneficial effects without adversely affecting some of the indices that were not improved at this level.Improvements were further observed in the intestinal villus length and goblet cells numbers at 4% supplementation. Although some evidence of potential toxicity exists, the overall findings of this study suggest that supplementation of common carp diets with 4% BC has a potential to enhance serum biochemical indices, intestinal functions and fatty acid content in common carp. Furthermore, while no positive effects were observed on the growth performance and total muscle fatty acid composition, no adverse effects were reported on these parameters. Therefore, BC has the potential to be used as a feed additive in the diets of juvenile common carp to improve health status and intestinal function.
