“…In similar studies with other feed supplements, the cholesterol and triglyceride levels were observed to have increased after supplementing Nile tilapia diet with 1 and 2% fenugreek sprouts meal (Trigonella foenum-graecum) for 112 days (Zaki, Labib, Nour, Tonsy, & Mahmoud, 2012) and Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) diet with different levels of cotton-seed meal for eight weeks (Liu et al, 2019).…”

“…Further investigations are still needed to know the mechanism by which Indian lotus increased serum cholesterol and triglycerides in Tilapia. In similar studies with other feed supplements, the cholesterol and triglyceride levels were observed to have increased after supplementing Nile tilapia diet with 1 and 2% fenugreek sprouts meal ( Trigonella foenum‐graecum ) for 112 days (Zaki, Labib, Nour, Tonsy, & Mahmoud, ) and Grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idellus ) diet with different levels of cotton‐seed meal for eight weeks (Liu et al, ). On the contrary, Indian lotus petal powder supplemented diet for 30 days decreased the cholesterol level in common carp (Vinodhini, ).…”

Indian lotus, Nelumbo nucifera (Gaertn.) is a valued medicinal plant that exhibits several pharmacological properties. The present work aimed to investigate the effect of Indian lotus as a feed supplement on the growth performance, haematological and biochemical indices, and intestinal histo‐morphology of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.). The fish were randomly distributed into four groups and fed on a basal diet containing Indian lotus leaf powder at different concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4%) for up to 60 days. The results elucidated that Indian lotus supplemented diets (0.2% and 0.4% followed by 0.1%) significantly improved weight gain, specific growth rate (%) and feed conversion ratio (p < .05). The feed intake was significantly increased in the fish fed on the Indian lotus supplemented diets in a dose‐dependent manner (p < .05). However, Indian lotus had no significant effect (p > .05) on survival rate, total erythrocytes (RBCs) count, haemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit value (PCV, %) except a significant reduction on Hb content of the fish fed on 0.2% Indian lotus and a significant increase in PCV (%) in the fish fed on 0.1% Indian lotus (p < .05). The total leucocytes (WBCs), neutrophils and lymphocytes counts displayed significant elevations in the fish fed on the Indian lotus diets especially at 0.2% and 0.4%, whereas significant reduction in neutrophils count in the fish fed on 0.1% Indian lotus (p < .05) was observed. The serum glucose was significantly decreased in the fish fed on Indian lotus (0.1% and 0.2%), whereas cholesterol and triglycerides were markedly increased in the fish fed on the Indian lotus supplemented diets (p < .05). Moreover, the intestinal villous heights and the numbers of goblet cells and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) were significantly boosted in all parts of the intestine in all Indian lotus diet groups as compared with the control group. However, as an exception, villous heights in the middle part of the intestine in the fish fed on 0.1% and 0.4% diets (p < .05) were not affected. In the proximal part, the villous heights and the numbers of goblet cells were markedly increased in fish fed on 0.2% and 0.4% diets followed by 0.1% diet. The fish fed on 0.2% lotus supplemented diet followed by 0.1% and 0.4% supplemented diets exhibited significant elevations in villous heights in the distal part and the numbers of goblet cells in the middle part of the intestine. There were no significant differences between the fish fed on the supplemented diets in the numbers of goblet cells in the distal part and the numbers of IEL in the proximal and middle parts (p > .05). In the distal part, the numbers of IEL revealed a significant elevation in 0.4% lotus supplemented diet followed by 0.1% and 0.2% lotus supplemented diet groups (p < .05). Therefore, this study indicates the advantageous effect of the Indian lotus leaves as a natural feed additive for improving growth, intestinal structure and hence, health status of Nile tilapia.

“…In their study by Sonmez et al (), when rainbow trout were fed diets containing thyme oils at 500, 1,000 and 1,500 mg/kg feed for 60 days illustrated a higher weight gain and SGR than the control group, indicating a positive efficacy of thyme oils on the improving of the nutrient utilization by fish. Also, Zaki, ALabib, Nour, Tonsy, and Mahmoud () showed that tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) fed with thyme at 1% and 2% demonstrated an improvement in the growth performance. In their study by ALsafah and AL‐Faragi (), when common carp were fed with different thyme levels of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% for 56 days, a significant increase was seen in growth rate compared with the control group, and 1.5% thyme illustrated a better performance than other trails.…”

Efficacy of Thymus vulgaris essential oils was assessed on growth, immune response and disease resistance of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Fish weighing 10 g were fed with dietary supplemented of the oils at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 ml/kg feed for 2 months. Fish fed with the oils at 0.5 ml/kg feed demonstrated a better weight gain and specific growth rate, compared to other treatments (p < .05). Fish fed with 1.0 ml the oils showed the highest up‐regulation of complement component 3 (C3) and (cluster of differentiation 4) (CD4) genes expression (p < .05), while lysozyme gene expression level significantly increased in fish fed with 2.0 ml of the oils. In addition, at the end of the experiment, the expression of C3 and CD4 genes were significantly up‐regulated in fish fed with 1.0 and 2.0 ml of the oils, while IL‐1ß and lysozyme genes expression levels were significantly decreased in fish fed 2.0 ml oils, towards the end of the trial (p < .05). There was a fluctuation in the levels of Alanine aminotransferase, Aspartate aminotransferase and Alkaline phosphatase in all treatments during the experiment. When treated fish were challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila, the highest survival rate was observed in 0.5 ml/kg treatment, followed by 2 and 1 mg/kg treatments. Overall, these findings demonstrated that dietary administration of T. vulgaris oils especially at 0.5 mg/kg feed can be considered as a potential component for enhancing of the growth, immune responses and disease resistance of trout against motile Aeromonas septicemia caused by A. hydrophila.

“…These positive effects were attributed to the pharmacological substances in FSM, which, according to Raju et al (2001), had exerted a therapeutic effect in rats with Type 1 diabetes by modulating the activity of key glucose metabolizing enzymes in the liver and kidney, thereby normalizing glucose homoeostasis in these organs. Zaki et al (2012) also reported that low supplementation of fenugreek sprouts of up to 1% showed the most improved performance in O. niloticus among other medicinal plant sources tested (i.e. chamomile flowers, eucalyptus leaves, thyme seeds and hot pepper).…”

The growing demand for fish food products worldwide heightens the pressure on the current availability of feed ingredients, especially marine resources such as fishmeal and fish oil, for aquaculture feed production. To address this concern, the potential of novel ingredients for use in feed formulations needs to be tapped. This paper highlights recent researches undertaken concerning the dietary inclusion of various indigenous ingredients classified as seaweeds, leaf meals, oilseed meals, vegetable oils and medicinal herbs, and their effects on growth performance, feed intake, feed utilization efficiency, nutrient retention, disease resistance and other physiological activities among consumer species. Moreover, this paper presents information regarding their nutritive values, optimum inclusion levels and recommended protocols that can improve their potential as feed additives or fishmeal replacements. Gracilaria spp.Studies on the inclusion of Gracilaria spp. in shrimp rations, however, have yielded variable results. The genus Reviews in Aquaculture (2016) 8, 154-171
