Effect of dietary supplemented andrographolide on growth, non-specific immune parameters and resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila in Labeo rohita (Hamilton)

Effects of Curcumin Supplemented Diet on Growth and Non-Specific Immune Parameters of Cirrhinus mrigala against Edwardsiella tarda Infection

“…An increase in the lysozyme activity suggests elevation of various humoral factors that protect the host during pathogen invasion (Harikrishnan et al, 2010). It was also previously reported that serum lysozyme activity could be enhanced through dietary administration by various herbs in Chinese sucker (Zhang, Gong, Yu and Yuan 2009) and L. rohita (Das et al, 2015) treated with tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) extracts; in yellow crocker supplemented with Astragalus root (Jian and Wu, 2003) and L. rohita fed with Andrographolide (Basha et al, 2013). In present finding, Serum lysozyme activity was significantly enhanced in fishes fed with curcumin diet in compared to control group.…”

“…In the present study, the highest activity of NBT was observed in the group fed with 1% to 1.5% CSD which was beneficial in protecting them from the disease-causing organism (E. tarda). Other immunostimulant such as β-glucan (Jeney and Anderson, 1993), chitin (Sakai et al, 1992), azadirachtin (Kumar et al, 2013), garlic (Sahu et al, 2007), Andrographolide (Basha et al, 2013) are also known to stimulate phagocytes in fishes.…”

Dietary Aloe vera supplementation on growth performance, some haemato-biochemical parameters and disease resistance against Streptococcus iniae in tilapia (GIFT)

“…The pressure on aquaculture to bridge the supply and demand disparity of food fish has resulted in the widely use of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 intensive fish husbandry. One of the key elements that encourage fish farmers to adopt these kinds of production systems is that, productivity per unit area is much higher as a result of higher stocking density [1]. On the contrary, high stocking density in intensive fish culture systems has led to many constraints and among them is stress, which as a consequence, results in a bunch of conditions such as, poor fish performance, alteration of physiological functions [2], poor digestion and feed utilization [3,4], increased susceptibility to diseases [5], poor fish meat quality [6], and in extreme cases lead to mortality [7,8].…”

Dietary myo-inositol modulates immunity through antioxidant activity and the Nrf2 and E2F4/cyclin signalling factors in the head kidney and spleen following infection of juvenile fish with Aeromonas hydrophila

“…This study is an extension of a series of studies on the physiological functions of MI and its roles in maintaining the health of animals [5,14]. Aeromonas hydrophila is a common pathogenic bacterium in fish that causes massive mortalities and large economic losses in the natural environment and fish farms worldwide [37]. Thus, in this study carp were challenged with A. hydrophila to investigate the effects of dietary MI on the immune components, oxidative status, antioxidant ability, and antioxidant enzyme gene expression, and the expression of the related signalling factors, Nrf2 and E2F4/cyclins in the head kidney and spleen of the fish.…”
