“…Swain et al (2007) recently detected antibody response at first week postimmunization with antigens from Aeromonas hydrophila Chester, E. tarda, and P. fluorescens or a combination of all three that rose significantly (P < 0.05) at fourth week postimmunization in all the immunized groups. Chand et al (2006) found that giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man (Palaemonidae) fed with bovine lactoferrin showed significant increase in agglutination titers. The result from the present study also reveal that the leaf extracts in the diet of carp were able to stimulate specific antibodies against the challenged bacteria and rise humoral immunity as observed in the previous studies of Mohanty and Sahoo (2010).…”

“…Lf has been reported to have important nutraceutical and biological properties such as antimicrobial activities [6] and regulating the immune system [7]. It is known to act as a growth factor by stimulating mucosal growth of the small intestine [8] and to increase hepatic protein synthesis in newborn [9].…”

The antibiotic therapy has many problems, such as antibiotics resistance, hypersensitivity, direct toxicity, antibioticinduced immunosuppresion and super-infections. This is highlighting the need for a new strategy for non-antibiotic therapy through the use of novel immunomodulators as naturally released ones (Lactoferrin). The present study investigates the potential of bovine lactoferrin (bLf), isolated from bovine milk whey, to prevent Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Escherichia coli (E. coli), Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aerogenosa) growth and then evaluates its immunomodulator effect. First, bLf isolation was attempted from bovine milk whey using a cation exchange chromatography by SP-Sepharose. Second, the antimicrobial activity assays were trailed to study the antimicrobial activity of bLf. Finally, the immune effect of bLf was studied by lymphocyte transformation test. It was found that bLf was separated around molecular weight of 80 kDa and showed significant inhibitory effect against E. coli followed by P. aeruginosa, S. agalactiae and S. aureus. bLf increased lymphocyte transformations mean values in a dose dependant manner. The highest transformations mean value was determined at 50 µg/mL. In conclusion, these results suggest that bLf is a potent natural antimicrobials and immunomodulator agent.

“…Some metabolic variables like glucose, lactate, total proteins, total lipids, triglycerides, and cholesterol can also be used for monitoring the physiological condition of shrimp (Hall and van Ham 1998;Racotta and Palacios 1998;Sánchez et al 2001). The toxicity of nitrite to crustaceans has been studied (Tseng and Chen 2004;Chand et al 2006). Nitrite might enter the blood of prawns from the water and reacted with hemocyanin, the respiratory pigment, thereby reducing their oxygen-carrying capacity leading to mortality.…”

“…Nitrite might enter the blood of prawns from the water and reacted with hemocyanin, the respiratory pigment, thereby reducing their oxygen-carrying capacity leading to mortality. An elevated concentration of environmental nitrite has been reported to affect molting and growth (Chen and Chen 1992), oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion (Cheng et al 2002), hemagglutinin and bacterial agglutinin levels, PO activity, and total protein concentration (Chand et al 2006). López et al (2003) observed that L. vannamei fed with 2 g kg -1 of b-1-3-glucan for 40 days drived their immunological equipment to respond continuously to the stress and presented immunological fatigue 48 h after a salinity shock (35-0%).…”

Effect of long-term administration of dietary β-1,3-glucan on growth, physiological, and immune responses in Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931)

b-1,3-Glucan at different dietary doses was administered to enhance the growth, immunity, and survival against nitrite stress in Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Four different diets supplemented with 0, 250, 500, or 1,000 mg of b-1,3-glucan kg -1 diets were fed to L. vannamei. Growth performance (weight gain and survival rate), physiological conditions (blood total protein, glucose, lactate, triacylglycerols, cholesterol levels) and immunological responses (superoxide dismutase, catalase, lysozyme, acid phosphatase, and alkaline phosphatase activities) of shrimp were recorded after 84-day feeding and 120 h after exposed to nitrite-N. After 84-day feeding, 250 mg kg -1 b-1,3-glucan diet resulted in better weight gain (P \ 0.05). Before the nitrite stress, blood lactate, triacylglycerols, and cholesterol level in shrimp fed with 250 mg kg -1 b-1,3-glucan diet were significantly higher than those observed in shrimp fed with other diets (P \ 0.05). Higher activities of catalase, lysozyme, and alkaline phosphatase were observed in shrimp fed with 500 or 1,000 mg kg -1 b-1,3-glucan diet as compared to those obtained in shrimp fed with other diets (P \ 0.05). After 120-h nitrite stress, blood protein, lactate, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and alkaline phosphatase activities in shrimp fed with 500 or 1,000 mg kg -1 b-1,3-glucan were significantly higher than those observed in shrimp fed with other diets (P \ 0.05). Glucose and triacylglycerol levels of shrimp fed with 500 or 1,000 mg kg -1 b-1,3-glucan were significantly lower than those observed in other diets (P \ 0.05). In shrimp fed with 500 and 1,000 mg kg -1 b-1,3-glucan and 120-h after nitrite stress, the mortality was significantly lower than that observed in shrimp of control.Together, in this 84-day feeding trial, 250 mg kg -1 b-1,3-glucan improved growth, whereas 500 mg kg -1 b-1,3-glucan preferentially improved nitrite resistance, probably through accelerating energy metabolism and activating immune system.
