“…Upregulated lysozyme gene expression was reported in red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) after being fed with dietary glycyrrhizic acid (Liu et al, 2021). Lysozyme levels were found to be significantly higher in L. vannamei after feeding on diets supplemented with Indian ginseng (Withania somnifera), which improved immune responses and disease resistance (Abdel-Tawwab et al, 2022). Dietary administration of Gynura bicolor water extract enhanced immune response by increasing lysozyme among other immune parameters against Vibrio alginolyticus and white spot syndrome virus in L. vannamei (Wu et al, 2015).…”

The present study was conducted to determine the effective herbal extracts of Phyllanthus urinaria and Combretum quadrangulare incorporated into the diets on the health of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). A commercially available feed diet was incorporated with a concentration of 1% P.urinaria, 1% C.quadrangulare,1% of a mixture of both 1% P. urinaria and 1% C. quadrangulare Kurz (experimental diets), and no herbal extract (control treatment). Shrimps (1.05±0.33 g) in triplicate groups were fed with the supplemented diets for 4 weeks in a 500 L tank with a stocking density of 70 shrimp/tank. Hematological and immunological parameters (Total hemocyte count, granular cells, hyaline cells, phenoloxidase activity-PO, and immune gene expressions) were evaluated after the feeding trial. The results showed that after 4 weeks of dietary herbal supplementation of 1% P. urinaria (PUE), and 1% mixture of P. urinaria and C. quadrangulare (PUE-CQE) significantly enhanced hematological and immunological parameters (total hemocyte count, granular and hyaline cells, phenoloxidase, lysozyme, and Penaeidin-3). After being challenged against V. parahaemolyticus, cumulative mortality of shrimp in treatment of a 1% mixture of P. urinaria and C. quadrangulare (PUE-CQE) was lower compared to the positive control at 43.6% and 66.7% respectively and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). Dietary herbal-supplemented treatments of 1% CQE and 1% PUE were slightly lower than the positive control at 55.6% and 59.5% respectively hence no significant difference (p>0.05). This shows that all the herbal treatments lowered the susceptibility and increased protection against V. parahaemolyticus compared to the positive control. In summary, the results indicate that P. urinaria and C. quadrangulare dietary herbal extracts have beneficial impacts on immune responses and disease resistance in whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) against V. parahaemolyticus.

“…Previous studies on the intestinal digestive enzymes of L . vannamei have revealed that complex Chinese herbal medicines improve protease, amylase, and lipase activity as well as chymotrypsin gene expression [ 6 ]; Withania somnifera aqueous extract improves amylase and lipase activity [ 33 ]; Moringa oleifera leaf extract improves protease, amylase, and lipase activity [ 27 ]; and Andrographis paniculate improves trypsin and amylase gene expression [ 3 ]. Our results demonstrated that L .…”

Panax notoginseng (Burk) F. H. Chen is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine commonly used in clinical applications. This study examined the effects of the Panax notoginseng water extract (PNWE) on the immune responses and digestive enzyme activity of Litopenaeus vannamei (L. vannamei). The PNWE (50, 100, and 200 μg (g shrimp)−1) was injected into L. vannamei to analyze the immune response parameters, including the total haemocyte count (THC), granular haemocytes (GC), semi-granular haemocytes (SGC), hialin haemocyte (HC), the respiratory burst (RB), the phagocytic ratio (PR), the phagocytic index (PI), and phenoloxidase (PO). We evaluated the activity of the intestinal digestive enzymes (trypsin, chymotrypsin, amylase, and lipase), the histopathology, and the intestine Vibrio numbers. The results showed that different concentrations of the PNWE significantly increased THC, GC, SGC, PO and RB activity, the PR, and the PI of L. vannamei while reducing the HC. In addition, the PNWE also significantly increased the chymotrypsin, trypsin, and amylase activity of L. vannamei. Furthermore, 50 µg (g shrimp)−1 of PNWE regulated the lipase activity. Additionally, different concentrations of the PNWE significantly reduced the Vibrio numbers in the intestine without damaging the hepatopancreas and intestine tissues. These results indicate that the PNWE improves the immune responses of L. vannamei by increasing the haemocyte count and regulating intestinal digestive enzymes.
