“…Since plasma proteins include several humoral elements of the nonspecific immune system, this increase in albumin at the inclusion level of 1.0% could reflect the increase in the nonspecific immune response of tambaqui. Sahu et al (2007) reported similar results, since the protein levels (albumin and globulin levels) in young L. rohita fed with M. indica were greater than the levels of the control group.…”

“…According to Amirkhani and Firouzbaksh (2015), diets supplemented with ethanol extract of O. basilicum increased the resistance of C. carpio against infection by A. hydrophila, due to improvement of the nonspecific immune system. This was also observed in L. rohita fed with diets containing M. indica and challenged with A. hydrophila (Sahu et al 2007). Ingestion of essential oil, such as from M. piperita, through diets, can be used as an immunostimulant, as reported for several species of plants and animals (Bairwa et al 2012;Biller-Takahashi and Urbinati 2014;Mehana et al 2015).…”

“…In Lates calcarifer, Allium sativum causes hematological changes and improves both oxygen transport and the immune response (Talpur and Ikhwanuddin 2012); Ocimum basilicum (basil) increases the resistance of Cyprinus carpio against infection by Aeromonas hydrophila (Amirkhani and Firouzbaksh 2015); and diets containing Mangifera indica (mango) kernel increase the resistance of L. rohita (Sahu et al 2007). Astaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment produced by some algae, and bacteria, was used at concentrations of 50 and 100 mg kg -1 in the diet of common carp C. carpio and, was found to stimulate growth, hematological alterations, immune response and specific bacterial disease protection (Jagruthi et al 2014).…”

In fish farmings, diseases can be reduced by using immunostimulants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunostimulant potential of Mentha piperita in tambaqui fed with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% of oil per kg of commercial fish feed. The fish were inoculated with Aeromonas hydrophila to challenge them. Hematological and biochemical parameters were determined after 30 days of feeding and seven days after the challenge. There was no mortality and M. piperita oil did not influence fish production parameters. However, blood hemoglobin concentration (Hb) increased in the fish fed with 0.5 and 1.5% of oil per kg of diet; albumin increased in those fed with 1.0%; cholesterol increased in all groups with oil; and triglycerides increased in those fed with 0.5%. After the bacterial challenge, the fish showed decreases in Hb when fed with diet enriched with 1.5% oil per kg of diet, in mean corpuscular volume with 1.0% and in mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration with 0 and 1.5%. Protein levels increased in groups with 0 and 1.5% of oil and albumin when fed with 0 and 1.0%; cholesterol levels increased in the control group; and high levels of triglycerides were observed in the groups with 0, 0.5 and 1.5%. Thus, M. piperita essential oil promoted hematological alterations in tambaqui and can be recommended in diets containing up to 1.0% per kg, because of the minimal physiological modifications caused. However, additional studies are necessary to obtain more information regarding to the physiological effects of this immunostimulant.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o potencial imunoestimulante do óleo essencial de Mentha piperita na dieta de tambaqui com dietas contendo 0; 0,5; 1,0; 1,5% de inclusão do óleo por kg de ração comercial para peixes. Os tambaquis foram desafiados com a bactéria Aeromonas hydrophila. Hematologia e bioquímica dos tambaquis foram determinados após 30 dias de alimentação e sete dias do desafio. Não houve mortalidade dos peixes durante o experimento, sendo que o óleo não influenciou os parâmetros produtivos dos peixes. Entretanto, a concentração de hemoglobina (Hb) aumentou em peixes alimentados com 0,5 e 1,5% de óleo por kg de dieta; a albumina aumentou em 1,0%; o colesterol aumentou em todos os grupos com óleo; e triglicérides em 0,5% por kg de dieta. Após desafio bacteriano ocorreram diminuições da Hb nos peixes alimentados com 1,5% de óleo; do volume corpuscular médio com 1,0%; e da concentração de hemoglobina corpuscular média com 0 e 1,5%. Níveis aumentados de proteína nos grupos 0 e 1,5%; da albumina em 0 e 1,0%; do colesterol no controle; e dos triglicérides em 0, 0,5 e 1,5% de óleo na dieta. Assim o óleo essencial de M. ...

The main objective of the present study is to improve the immune power of Labeo rohita by using Arachis hypogea plant leaf, seed and root extracts as immunostimulants. The specific antibody response, immunological and host resistance test were conducted on the medicated fish infected with Aeromonas hydrophila pathogen. The results obtained from the hematological studies show that the RBC count, total WBC count, and lymphocyte content were increased in the infected fish at higher concentration of all three extract. The feeds with seed extract of Arachis hypogea were able to stimulate the specific antibody response by increasing the titre value of antibody. It was observed that fish have survival percentage significantly at higher concentration (1000 ppm) of Arachis hypogea, when compared with the control. This research work suggests that the Arachis hypogea has immunostimulant activity by stimulating both specific and non-specific immunity at higher concentrations.

“…Gannam and Schrock (1999) reviewed various immunostimulants and methods of their application in fish culture. While the effectiveness of different immunostimulants in protecting cultured species against diseases has been extensively researched, such studies with eco-friendly herbal immunomodulators are limited (Venkatalakshmi and Michael, 2001;Dügenci et al, 2003;Jian and Wu, 2003;Rao et al, 2006;Christybapita et al, 2007;Divyagnaneswari et al, 2007;Ji et al, 2007;Sahu et al, 2007;Harikrishnan et al, 2009;Pratheepa et al, 2010 components of the immune system as well as nonspecific immunity with consequent increase in the host defence against pathogenic stimuli. Two dosages (1.5 and 3.0%) of ImmuPlus were tested through dietary administration.…”

The effect of 2 dosages (1.5 and 3.0%) of ImmuPlus, a polyherbal immunomodulator, was tested on growth and inflammatory response to Fruend's complete adjuvant (FCA) in common carp, Cyprinus carpio. The growth study was carried out for 120 days in nine 25 m 2 outdoor cement tanks by feeding triplicate groups of 40 common carp fry (av. wt. 0.4±0.03 g) with a control (T 0 without ImmuPlus) and two test diets (T 1 and T 2 with 1.5 and 3.0% ImmuPlus respectively). At the end of the growth experiment, 20 fish from each of these were used for evaluating the inflammatory response to FCA. The final weight gain of fish fed the test diets was significantly (P<0.05) higher, there being no difference between the two treatments. Specific growth rate of treated fish showed a significant increase (P<0.05) over that of the control fish. Supplementation of diet with ImmuPlus improved (P<0.05) survival of fish. Protein content of fish carcass was significantly (P<0.05) higher in the fish receiving the two test diets, while fat content was higher (P<0.05) only in fish from T 2 treatment. Enhanced (P<0.05) protease and amylase activity was found in the treated fish. Even though there were no marked differences in the overall inflammatory response between the control and treated fish following FCA administration, recovery was faster in the latter, with stronger encapsulation of the adjuvant droplets. The results reflect the ability of Immuplus to promote growth and improve inflammatory response when administered through diet.
