“…After bacterial challenge with A. hydrophila , there was a significant increase in the relative expression of both IL‐1β and TGF‐β genes. Similar to these results, some studies confirmed the antibacterial activity of onion, tilapia fed on onion have the lowest mortality rate (20%) compared with control (Soliman et al, 2017). Cho and Lee (2012) indicated the effectiveness of immunostimulation of onion powder diets to lower the cumulative mortality of olive flounder after infection with E. tarda .…”

“…The group fed 1% onion showed a significant increase in the number of RBCs, WBCs and HCT levels compared with the control group (Akrami et al, 2015). Also, Soliman et al (2017) noticed a significant increase in WBCs count and lymphocyte percentage in all treated groups supplemented with 0.5 mg, and 1 mg onion leaves extracts.…”

“…The serum albumin of Clarias laz era was increased after 24 h treatment with onion juices, but total protein decreased after 5 h (Al‐Salahy, 2002). Additionally, total plasma proteins of groups fed on onion extracts were higher than other groups (Soliman et al, 2017). Unlike this study, Cho and Lee (2012) did not observe any significant changes between adding different levels of onion powder on the total serum protein of juvenile olive flounder.…”

“…Similar to these results, dietary onion additives improved lysozyme activity of the olive flounder ( P. olivaceus ) juvenile which fed with the 0.5% onion powder (Cho & Lee, 2012) and beluga juveniles ( H. huso ) which fed with the 0.5% and 1% onion powder (Akrami et al, 2015). Additionally, tilapia fed on onion extracts exhibited significant activation of phagocytes, and serum lysozyme activity with the highest activity on 1 gm onion extract (Soliman et al, 2017).…”

“…Few literatures have approved the administration of onion for enhancing immune parameters in some fish species such as juvenile olive flounder ( Paralichthys olivaceus ) (Cho & Lee, 2012), African catfish ( Clarias gariepinus ) (Bello et al, 2012), brown‐marbled grouper ( Epinephelus fuscoguttatus) (Apines‐Amar et al, 2012), beluga ( Huso huso ) (Akrami et al, 2015), carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) (Mousavi et al, 2016), and O. niloticus (Soliman et al, 2017).…”

The present study evaluated the effects of dietary onion (Allium cepa)powder and its extracts on growth, blood biochemical parameters, non‐specific immune parameters and potential disease resistance against pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila infection in Oreochromis niloticus. Fish formulated diets containing onion powder (1% or 0.5%) or onion alcoholic extracts (1% or 0.5%). At the end of the experiment, the weight gain and specific growth rate were significantly increased than control. Besides, red blood cells (RBCs) and haemoglobin (Hb) showed a significant increase with insignificant changes of leukocytic cells count (WBCs), triglycerides, creatinine and uric acid levels. Results showed significant increase of total protein and albumin, and significant enhancement of innate immune response including serum globulins, serum antiprotease, lysozyme activities, myeloperoxidase content and the phagocytic index compared with the control group. Meanwhile feeding on onion increased superoxide dismutase, catalase activities and glutathione‐S‐transferase but significantly decreased hepatic peroxidase. The cumulative mortality of O. niloticus injected with A. hydrophila exhibited relatively low mortality levels in all onion supplemented groups. The relative per cent survivals were 100%, 100%, 80% and 70% in 1% onion powder, 0.5% powder, 1% extract and 0.5% extract groups, respectively, compared with control (60%). Additionally, there was a significant increase in relative immune gene expressions of interleukin 1‐beta (IL‐1β), and transforming growth factor‐beta 1 (TGF‐β1) in head kidney tissues of treated groups than the control. These results confirm the anti‐inflammatory and antioxidative activities of dietary onion with its beneficial effects on growth performance and disease resistance against A. hydrophila in O. niloticus.

Onion (Allium cepa) improves Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) resistance to saprolegniasis (Saprolegnia parasitica) and reduces immunosuppressive effects of cadmium

et al. 2022

The present study investigated the protective effects of dietary Allium cepa against Saprolegnia parasitica infections and the amelioration of cadmium-induced immunosuppression in Oreochromis niloticus. Saprolegnia isolates were recovered during an outbreak of saprolegniasis in farmed O. niloticus raised in a poor aquatic environment. Isolates were identified phenotypically as S. parasitica. Results were confirmed further by ITS gene sequencing. Four fish groups were kept in water with cadmium (1.5 mg/L) and fed for 30 days on a diet supplemented with crude or alcoholic extracts of A. cepa using two concentrations (0.5% or 1%). Positive (with Cd) and negative (without Cd) control fish groups were given the basal diet. The 96 h LC50 value of Cd in tilapia was (15.1 mg/L Cd). Fish exposed to Cd showed poor growth performance parameters, abnormal biochemical measurements, impaired immunological responses, and high oxidative stress indicators. Feeding tilapia on A. cepa-supplemented diets enhanced their growth performance (WG, SGR) and improved the nonspecific immune responses (WBCs, total protein, globulins, lysozyme, myeloperoxidase, and antiproteases). The inclusion of A. cepa in the diets reduced the oxidative stress (GST, SOD) and significantly decreased fish mortality after the challenge with S. parasitica. Dietary supplementation with A. cepa reduced cadmium accumulation in fish organs and up-regulated IL-1β and IFNɣ levels. The most favorable benefits were obtained by the addition of 0.5% A. cepa extract. Our results highlight the immunostimulatory properties of A. cepa dietary supplementation for farmed tilapia and recommend its use prophylactically to control saprolegniasis and mitigate cadmium adverse effects.
