“…Our results also corroborate with the study which showed that the fermented mulberry leaf meal inclusion enhanced the growth (Mondal et al, 2012) in Labeo bata. Ali et al (2003) also found a reduction in growth and nutrient utilization of Nile tilapia with the inclusion of alfalfa meal in the diets.…”

“…Till date, out of the major plant ingredients, which have been included in the fish feed are mainly by-products of the oil extraction from oil seeds namely Glycine max meal, canola meal, sunflower meal, cotton seed meal, groundnut meal, rice bran, wheat bran etc (Egwui, Mgbenka, & Ezeonyejiaku, 2013;Francis et al, 2002;Makkar & Becker, 1996;Mondal & Payra, 2015). However, recently leaves of many plants such as sweet potato, Leucaena leucocephala, Morus esculenta, Medicago sativa, Moringa oleifera and Manihot esculenta (Ali, Al-Asgah, Al-Ogaily, & Ali, 2003;Bairagi, Ghosh, Sen, & Ray, 2004;Diarra et al, 2017;Meshram et al, 2018;Mondal, Kaviraj, Mukhopadhyay&, 2012) have been incorporated in fish diets.…”

Feed represents the single largest input in commercial aquaculture comprising about 60% of the total operating cost (De Silva & Anderson, 1995). The present requirement of aquafeed is estimated to be 60 million tonnes (FAO, 2014). Presently, both protein and energy rich conventional dietary ingredients are of short supply which necessitates incorporating unexplored unconventional locally available ingredients in aquafeed. Oil cakes are conventional protein sources used for carp culture in Asia along with deoiled rice bran (DORB), which is predominantly used in aquafeeds (Meshram, Deo, Kumar, Aklakur, & Sahu, 2018). DORB is an agricultural by-product, which is the most common ingredient used with oil cake. This is a cheap source in aquafeed, which is available throughout the year (Veerina, Nandeesha, & Gopal Rao, 1993).In the recent past, it is observed that the price and utilization of

“…For this reason, FM substitution has become a research hotspot. Various protein sources that could partially or completely replace FM have been evaluated in fish [ 1 , 2 ]. The animal protein source is an excellent protein source that can successfully achieve the partial or total replacement of FM.…”

The function of algae extract (AE) in fishmeal (FM) substitution with plant proteins in the diets of Gibel carp (Carrassius auratus gibeilo) was investigated during a 56-day trial. Diets 1 and 2 contained 10% FM, Diets 3 and 4 contained 5% FM, and Diet 5 and 6 contained 0% FM. In contrast, Diets 2, 4, and 6 were supplemented with 0.2% AE. The results showed that FM reduction inhibited growth performance, while AE supplementation alleviated growth inhibition. FM reduction significantly decreased the crude protein levels of the whole body, while the contents of whole-body lipids were significantly decreased with AE supplementation. There were no significant changes in ALB, ALP, ALT, AST, TP, GLU, GLU, and TC in plasma. FM reduction with AE supplementation mitigated the decrease in antioxidant capacity by heightening the activity of antioxidant enzymes and related gene expressions, which mitigated the decrease in immune capacity by affecting the expression of inflammatory factors. In summary, AE supplementation could alleviate the negative effects of FM reduction in Gibel carp.

“…Due to the existence of antinutritional influences, plant leaves have limitations for optimal inclusion in aquafeed (ANFs). Sweet potato, Leucaena leucocephala, Morus esculenta, Medicago sativa, Moringa oleifera, and Manihot esculenta are just a few of the plant leaves that have lately been added into fish diets (Ali et al 2003;Bairagi et al 2004;Mondal et al 2012;Diarra et al 2017;Meshram et al 2018), with promising results. To ensure the availability around the season and geographical locations, a greater number of leaf meals should be evaluated in aquafeed.…”

Changes in blood parameters, immunological responses and, activation of antioxidant enzymes of Cyprinus carpio, the fingerlings are being fed Mucuna bracteata leaf meal (MLM) as a rice bran substitute (DORB) were investigated in this study. The trial, which lasted eight weeks, used a total of hundred and eighty fingerlings. In a Completely Randomized Design, four treatment groups were randomly selected, each with fifteen (15) fingerlings and each treatment was reproduced three times (CRD). The following treatments were created using four isonitrogenous (32 percent crude protein) and isocaloric (356 kcal DE/100 g) diets, control (C) had no MLM, but MLM was utilized to replace DORB at 10 percent (T1), 20% (T2) and 30% (T3), respectively. Both muscle and liver alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities were considerably elevated (P < 0.05) in the MLM 20% group. There were also significant increases in hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase activity (P 0.05) in the MLM20 and MLM30 groups. There was no significant difference between treatments in serum albumin concentration, total protein, or the ratio albumin/globulin (P > 0.05). MLM20% and MLM30% groups had substantially higher Nitroblue Tetrazolium (NBT) values than the other MLM fed groups (P < 0.05). As a result, the study concludes that mucuna leaf meal derived from M. bracteata can fully replace DORB in the diet of C. carpio without causing any negative effects, while 20% MLM inclusion offered additional benefits. © 2022 Friends Science Publishers
