Effect of adding different levels of cinnamon (Cinnamomum sp) on growth and chemical composition criteria of common carp Cyprinus carpio L.

Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the addition of three levels of cinnamon (Cinnamomum sp), 96 common carp Cyprinus carpio L. at a mean weight of 5±0.15 g/fish on four experimental diets with three replicates per treatment 0% with three experimental diets containing 0.75%, 1%, and 1.5% of the total diet 2, 3 and 4 respectively. The results of the statistical analysis showed significant differences in the parameters of the total weight increase, daily growth rate, relative growth rate, protein intake, feed conversion ratio and protein productive value between the control diet and the fish feeding on the fourth diet, meanwhile there were no a significant difference in final weight, food intake, protein efficiency ratio criteria. Chemical body analysis revered there were no a significant difference for dry weight, crude protein and ash, while cinnamon powder added have a significantly differences in body fat deposited. Based on the above results, 1.5% cinnamon can be added can improve the growth performance and nutritional value of common carp fish.

The synergistic effects of the probiotic ( Lactobacillus fermentum ) and cinnamon, Cinnamomum sp. powder on growth performance, intestinal microbiota, immunity, antioxidant defence and resistance to Yersinia ruckeri infection in the rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) under high rearing density

“…However, the combination of L. fermentum and cinnamon powder in the diet increased SGR and PER values in comparison with control, which may be attributed to the synergistic effect of the two supplements, whereas other diets showed no significant differences from control. In this study, although the use of cinnamon at a dietary level of 0.5% had no effect on growth, many studies have reported its growth prompting in fish (Ahmad et al, 2011;Habiba et al, 2021;Mohammad, 2021;Ravardshiri et al, 2022;Tartila et al, 2021).…”

“…In Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus fish supplemented with a diet containing 1% cinnamon resulted in higher growth performance in comparison with non‐supplemented ones (Ahmad et al, 2011). Use of 1.5% cinnamon in the diet of common carp, C. carpio improved growth indices (Mohammad, 2021). Cinnamon at a dietary level of 10 g/kg significantly improved the growth performance of European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax (Habiba et al, 2021).…”

Evaluation of blood, biochemical and biological effects of microalgae Chlorella and germinated barley powder as a source of prebiotic on common carp Cyprinus carpio L.

“…In order to contribute to health or well-being, the impact of probiotics by enhancing immunity and improving disease tolerance in fish was used to enable fish to use metabolic energy to combat the effect of environmental stress (34), and since the probiotic consists of harmless microorganism cells in this material, they consider direct benefits to the host as immunostimulants and our findings are in agreement with (35) who pointed that probiotics improved the blood picture of common carp when fed on a meal containing Poultrystar® of (1g/ kg body weight.…”

Effect addition of Cinnamomum cassia on treatment of pathological infections in Cyprinus carpio L. fingerlings

“…The samples were dehydrated by ascending ethanol and clearance with xylene, then harding with paraffin 50˚C and scation with 5micron and staining with hematoxylin and eosin for histological examination (21). Second group included one hundred twenty fish were feeding on commercial pellet and divided randomly to four sub group one of them is consider control group were fish feeding only commercial pellet (Table 1) while the other three groups fish were feeding with commercial pellets with rode powder of Cinnamomum cassia at percentage 0.75, 1 and 1.5% for 8 weeks (22) after that organs liver, kidney and intestine were collected for histopathological examination. (23) equation: ME (MJ/Kg) = Protein X 18,8 + Fat X 33,5 + NFE X13,8 (11).…”
