Effect of Partial Substitution Spirulina Instead of Soybean Meal in Common Carp Cyprinus Carpio L. Diet on Some Blood Picture and Some Biochemical Criteria

Abstract

This study conducted to find the effect of partial replacement of soybean meal by Spirulina Arthospira platensis on some blood picture and biochemical criteria in common carp Cyprinus carpio. Fish were fed on five experimental diets contained spirulina with ratio 1.45%, 2.90%, 3.54% and 6.10% of the total diet as well as control ( without spirulina) for 56 days . Results of the statistical analysis showed a significant decrease (p≤ 0.05) in the concentration of hemoglobin in treated fish fed on spirulina diets, meanwhile a significantly differences (p≤0.05) for stress index and the albumin criteria for fish fed at fifth diet comparing with control diet. The aspartate amino transferase for fish fed on the control diet increased significantly (p≤ 0.05) compared for other experimental diets. The results of the current study show that replacing the soybean meal with spirulina by 11.8 % (3.54 of the total diet) improved the studied criteria compared to the control diet.

Evaluation of the Addition of Different Percentages of Gum Arabic Powder (Acacia Senegal) to Diets on the Productive Performance of Ross 308 Broilers

“…The greatest improvement in growth performance was seen in the first weeks after adding gum arabic at varying concentrations to the ration, as shown by our results showing a significant superiority of the T4 treatment (6.5 gm of gum arabic / kg of feed) in the rate of weight gain. Our results are in line with the results of [30][31][32], who found that broiler chickens showed a higher growth rate compared to an improvement in the feed conversion factor.…”

“…Some productive characteristics of broiler chickens were demonstrated by the use of 150 unsexed Ross 308 broiler chicks randomly assigned to 5 treatments, with 3 replications for each treatment and each replicate comprising 10 chicks, "distributed within pens with dimensions of 1 x 1 m 2 and added gum arabic to ration, and beginning on the first day of the experiment, the treatments were as follows: T1: control treatment without addition T2: add 2.5 gm of gum arabic / kg feed T3: add 4.5 gm of gum arabic / kg feed T4: add 6.5 gm of gum arabic / kg feed T5: add 8.5 gm of gum arabic / kg feed From day one to the third week of life, the chicks were fed starting food (22.03% protein and 2914.25 kilocalories/kg of feed); after that, they were switched to growth diet (19.87% protein and 3014.95 kilocalories/kg of feed). Fodder) and water were fed ad libitum (at will) and the diet followed was that shown in Table (1) up until the conclusion of the fifth week. We calculated the feed conversion coefficient, total feed consumed, weight increase, and live body weight.…”

“…The supply of nutrients necessary for the bird's sustenance, growth, production, and reproduction can be thought of as one of the main factors of production, making nutrition a central tenet of the poultry industry [1][2][3]. The use of methods of soaking the main nutrients that make up them or the addition of digestive enzymes, which in turn contribute to improving the productive performance of broilers or egg chickens, or the use of different fermentation methods that increase the vital energy of the nutrients that make up the diet and thus have a clear effect on the production of meat or eggs [4][5][6].…”

Nutritional Effects of Dietary Spirulina (Arthrospora platensis) on Morphological Performance, Hematological Profile, Biochemical Parameters of Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

“…As previously recorded that biochemical markers of the liver (ALT and AST) in Oreochromis niloticus are influenced by this microalgae [34]. It is not doubt that the roles of spirulina acting as an antioxidant which prevent the formation of ion radicals [35].…”

Effect of Protein Concentrate Withdrawal and Reducing the Crude Protein in Diets and Supporting Them with a Mixtures of Essential Amino Acids on some Physiological Traits of Laying Hens

“…There are many types and high prices, and the same type is not constantly available in the market, in addition to containing compounds that are difficult to detect in local laboratories, and the inability to verify their quality, content, and health safety, which have damage to the health of birds [3]. Recent studies directed to finding alternatives through the use of natural food additives [4][5][6][7] by replacing protein concentrates and substituting essential amino acids in order to obtain economical diets with a low protein level that are not stressful for the bird and maintain the general health of the bird [8]. Proteins are among the basic compounds needed by the bird, and they have various functions within the bodies of living organisms, including structural and productive functions, stimulating metabolic reactions, and are considered a source of energy [9].…”
