“…Therefore, the liver index (HSI) is a useful biomarker to detect the hazardous effects of the environmental stressors (Pait and Nelson, 2003). The present results are corresponding with the results obtained by Abbas and Abbas (2011) in Nile tilapia and Bolu et al (2009) in the broilers chicken. Whereby, the two enzymes (ALT and AST) could be evaluating liver intoxication (Krajnovic-Ozretic, 1991).…”

This study was carried out to assess the ability of using pawpaw (Carica papaya) seeds as a natural reproduction inhibitor for tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) culture to control its breeding. Biochemical, physiological and histopathological effects ofpawpaw seeds on male tilapia fish were also determined. Mature male tilapia were stocked for 4 weeks and treated with low dose (3 g/kg/day) and high dose (6 g/kg/day) of ground dried pawpaw seeds mixed with their feed. The obtained results showed that the pawpaw seeds induced permanent sterility in the high dose treated fish while the low dose treatment showed reversible results. The results also demonstrated that fish treated with high dose of pawpaw exhibited higher biochemical and physiological effects as: low meat quality, a progressive fall in erythrocyte (RBCs) count, hemoglobin (Hb) content and haematocrit values. Also the high dose revealed a significant increase in the leukocytes (WBCs) count, serum glucose, total protein, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine and uric acid levels. Moreover, serum total lipids revealed a significant decrease compared to control group. On the other hand, the low dose treatment revealed lower biochemical and physiological changes. Histological sections of testis showed disintegration of sperm cells and focal necrosis of seminefrous tubules in the high dose treated fish, hepato-pancreas and posterior kidney tissues also showed severe changes in high dose treated fish. Milder degenerative changes in some necrotic foci and slight changes in hepato-pancreas and posterior kidney were observed in the low dose treated fish. The study concluded that pawpaw seeds which are cheap and easy to obtain, can be incorporated into fish feeds with adjusted amount and be used to control breeding of tilapia fish in growing ponds instead of unfavorable and expensive hormonal use.

“…According to Ibrahim Albokhadaim (2012), uric acid is major product from nitrogen metabolism. The uric acid and creatinine values agree with the reports of Bolu et al (2009) Alagbe, J.O (2016) on the effects of feeding varying levels of tiger nut on the blood profile of grass cutters. According to Iyayi (1994) SGPT and SGOT are mostly influenced by the presence of anti-nutrients in an experimental diet, this observation suggests that the animals were able to tolerate the antinutrients in turmeric.…”

This study was conducted to examine the haematological and some serum biochemical indices of growing Isa cockerels fed diets supplemented with Azollaturmeric mixture. One hundred and twenty (120) four weeks old Isa white cockerels were divided into four groups with three replicates, each of ten birds in a completely randomized design. Treatment 1 was fed basal diet without Azollaturmeric mixture (ATMP), treatment 2, 3 and 4 were fed basal diets supplemented with ATMP at levels 5, 10 and 15% respectively. Proximate analysis shows that Azolla powder contained 22.51% crude protein, 3.53% ether extracts, 14.13% ash, 18.15% crude fibre and 37.88% nitrogen free extract while turmeric powder contained 9.14% crude protein, 2.40% ether extracts, 8.69% ash, 4.10% crude fibre and 69.10% nitrogen free extracts. The basal diet was formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of birds according to NRC (1994). All the hematological parameters evaluated : Pack cell volume (PCV), Haemoglobin (Hb), White blood cell (WBC), Red blood cell (RBC), Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), Mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) were not significantly(P>0.05) affected by the inclusion of ATMP. However, there were no significant (P>0.05) differences among all treatment groups in the values of total protein, albumin, globulin, alkaline phosphatase, uric acid, creatinine, SGPT and SGOT throughout the experiment which lasted for 90days. It was concluded that Azolla -turmeric mixture could be added up to 15% in the diet growing cockerels without any adverse effects on their blood profile.

“…According to Madhusadhan et al (1986), anti nutrients causes enlargement in the internal organs of animals. The study also shows that dressing percentage of broilers which ranged from 69.84% to 75.06% were significantly (P>0.05) different from each other, this is contrary to the reports of Bolu et al (2009) when dried pawpaw seed was fed to broilers.…”

This study was conducted to examine the growth performance, nutrient utilization and haematological characteristics of broiler chickens fed diets supplemented with Azolla-Moringa Oleifera mixture. One hundred and sixty (160) Arbo-acre day old chick of mixed sex was divided into four groups with four replicates, each of ten birds in a completely randomized design. Treatment 1 was fed basal diet without Azolla -Moringa mixture (MLMAZP), treatment 2, 3 and 4 were fed basal diets supplemented with MLMAZP at levels 5, 10 and 15% respectively. Proximate analysis shows that Azolla powder contained 22.51% crude protein, 3.53% ether extracts, 14.13% ash, 18.15% crude fibre and 37.88% nitrogen free extract while Moringa Oleifera leaf meal contained 27.51% crude protein, 2.23% ether extracts, 7.13% ash, 19.25% crude fibre and 43.88% nitrogen free extracts. The basal diet was formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of broilers according to NRC (1994). The results shows that there was a significant (P<0.05) difference in the final live weight, feed conversion ratio, carcass/dressing percentage and daily water intake. However, no significant influence (P>0.05) were observed for feed intake and some of the hematological parameters measured (PCV, Hb, RBC, WBC, MCV, MCH and MCHC). No mortality was recorded throughout the experimental period which lasted for 42 days. It can be concluded based on data from performance, nutrient utilization and hematological parameters that MLMAZP can be added up to 15% in the diets of broiler chickens.
