The present study investigated the effects of propolis and vitamin E supplementation in diets of juvenile rainbow trout subjected to two different flow rates (0.9 and 2.1 L min−1) on growth performance, and vitamin A, C and E concentrations in tissues as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Juvenile rainbow trout were fed with diets containing 10 and 30 g propolis kg−1, 60 mg kg−1 vitamin E (Rovimix E‐50 adsorbate; min.%50 dl‐α‐tokopherly acetate) and without supplemented basal diet for 12 weeks. Weight gain (WG) in the C group was significantly lower (P < 0.05) than P10, P30 and E60 groups at both flow rate treatments. At 2.1 L min−1, specific growth rate (SGR) in the C group was significantly lower (P < 0.05) than other groups, but at 0.9 L min−1, SGR of fish did not differ among the diets groups (P > 0.05). Survival rate (SUR) was higher in propolis and vitamin E supplemented diet groups (P < 0.05) than control diet group at 0.9 L min−1. Fish fed on diet E60 had higher (P < 0.05) tissue vitamin E concentration than fishes fed on other diets groups. Vitamin C concentration in rainbow trout tissues was significantly affected by the 30 g propolis supplemented diet group (P < 0.05), followed by the 10 g propolis supplemented diet group (P < 0.05). MDA level of E60 group was found significantly decreased instead of different than other groups (P < 0.05). The results of Student's t‐test revealed that WG, SGR, SUR values, vitamin (A, C, E) concentrations and MDA levels of tissues were negatively affected by 0.9 L min−1flow rate treatment in juvenile rainbow trout.
The present study investigated the effects of propolis and vitamin E supplementation in diets of juvenil rainbow trout subjected to two different flow rates with or without flow stress (0.9 and 2.1 l/min, respectively) on final weigth (FW), condition factor (CF), feed conservation ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and vitamin A, C and E concentrations and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in serum as well as plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The experimental groups were as follows: group C was fed a basal diet, group P10 was fed a basal diet supplemented with 10 g propolis/kg, group P30 was fed a basal diet supplemented with 30 g propolis/kg, group E60 was fed a basal diet supplemented with 60 mg vitamin E/kg. CF and PER were not different among all diets groups for both flow rate treatments (p > 0.05). The FCR improved in P10, P30 and E60 diet groups compared to C diet group at 2.1 l/min flow rate (p < 0.05). The FCR of E60 and P30 were found to be better than C and P10 diet groups at 0.9 l/min flow rate (p < 0.05). Vitamin E and propolis supplementations did not affect vitamin A concentration of serum for either flow rate (p > 0.05). Fish fed with diet E60had higher serum vitamin E concentration than other groups (p < 0.05). Serum Vitamin C concentration was only affected by the propolis supplemented diets. MDA level of E60 group was found significantly lower comperad to other groups for both flow rate (p < 0.05). Plasma SOD activity significantly decreased in the E60 group compared to other groups at 2.1 l/min flow rate (p < 0.05). But plasma SOD activity was not different among all diets groups at 0.9 l/min flow rate (p > 0.05)
Çalışmada; ortalama 70 gr ağırlığındaki gökkuşağı alabalıklarının beslenmesinde bal ık unu yerine fındık küspesi ve zeolitin kullanım oranları araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla 9 farklı rasyon içeriği ile 90 gün boyunca beslenme yapılmış ve canlı ağırlık artışları, büyüme performansları, sindirim düzeyleri ve balık etinin besin değerleri incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar değerlendirildiğinde fındık küspesinin %45 ve zeolitin %3 olarak kullanıldığı rasyon grubunun diğer gruplara göre daha etkin değerlendirildiği ve araştırma sonu HSI, RSI ve VSI oranları arasındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak önemli olduğu belirlenmiştir (p
