This study aimed to examine the use of Streptococcus agalactiae polyvalent vaccine in tilapia broodstock and the effect of maternal immunity and resistance on their offspring against S. agalactiae strain. The broodstock was injected with polyvalent vaccine of S. agalactiae at a dose of 108 CFU per fish at 2nd gonadal maturity until spawning. Challenge test was carried out on the offspring at the 5, 10, 15 and 20 days after hatching using NK1, N17O, N14G, N3M, N4M strain respectively and combination of them. We observed immunological parameters in broodstock, eggs and larvae and relative per cent survival (RPS) of larvae after challenged with pathogenic S. agalactiae. The results showed that the leukocytes, phagocytic activity, respiratory burst, lysozyme activity and antibody levels of vaccinated broodstock had higher level compared with unvaccinated broodstock. The high level of the lysozyme activity, antibody levels and recombination activating gene 1 (RAG1) were also observed in eggs and larvae from vaccinated broodstock. Larvae produced from vaccinated broodstock when challenged with variety strain of pathogenic S. agalactiae had RPS value more than 50% until 20 days after hatching. In conclusion, polyvalent vaccine of S. agalactiae administrated in the broodstock could enhance immunity in the broodstock and protect their offspring from pathogenic S. agalactiae.
Daun kelor adalah sumber daya yang potensial digunakan sebagai bahan pakan ikan nila dengan kandungan protein yang tinggi sebesar 25%. Namun, penggunaan daun kelor sebagai bahan baku pakan dibatasi oleh kandungan serat yang tinggi dan adanya zat anti nutrisi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi fermentasi daun kelor (Moringa oleifera) sebagai bahan baku pakan pada ikan nila (Oreochromis niloticus). Penelitian ini dilaksanakan selama 8 bulan,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
