Efficacy of Dietary Chenopodium album Extract on Some Health Parameters, Digestive Enzymes and Growth Performance in Juvenile Cyprinus carpio

Abstract

The present study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of Chenopodium album aqueous methanolic extract supplementation on the immunological and haematological indices, digestive enzyme activity and growth performance of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio). C. album was added to a basal diet at the rate of 0 (CA0), 0.01 (CA0.01), 0.05 (CA0.05) and 0.1 g kg −1 (CA0.1), and C. carpio was fed this diet for 45 days. Respiratory burst activity was significantly increased in all experimental groups on days 15 and 30 compared to the control (P < 0.05). Lysozyme activity was significantly increased over all sampling times compared to the control except in CA0.1 (P < 0.05). Myeloperoxidase activities were significantly increased in all experimental groups compared to Please cite this paper as follows:

Effects of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) extract on growth, blood biochemistry, immunity, antioxidant, digestive enzymes and liver histopathology of rainbow trout,Oncorhynchus mykiss

“…(2018) determined that the use of cineole increases CAT and SOD activities of rainbow trout. Similar results related to digestive enzymes were observed in Penaeus monodon fed with Ricinus communis (Sankar, Elavarasi, Sakkaravarthi, & Ramamoorthy, 2011), in Labeo rohita fed with Mucuna pruriens seed (Ojha, Chadha, Saini, Damroy, & Chandraprakash, 2014), in Mugil Cephalus fed with Allium sativum (Fereidouni, Akbary, & Soltanian, 2015) and in Cyprinus carpio fed with Chenopodium album (Amhamed et al., 2018).…”

“…Then, the homogenates were centrifuged at 10,000 g for 18 min. The supernatants were taken and transferred to new tubes (Amhamed, Mohamed, Almabrok, Altıef, & Bilen, 2018). They were stored at −80°C until digestive enzyme activities were determined.…”

“…The increase in SOD, CAT and digestive enzymes such as amylase, lipase and trypsin of rainbow trout fed with rosemary extracts (1 and 3 g/kg) may be an indication that the body's defence Chandraprakash, 2014), in Mugil Cephalus fed with Allium sativum (Fereidouni, Akbary, & Soltanian, 2015) and in Cyprinus carpio fed with Chenopodium album (Amhamed et al, 2018).…”

Time-Dependent Change of the Digestive Enzyme Activity of Black Sea Salmon (Salmo labrax Pallas, 1814) Fed at Suboptimal Temperature

“…Chemical digestion of feeds starts in the foregut and continues in the in the digestion of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. The absorption of digested substances from the intestinal wall for the growth and reproduction of the fish is facilitated by digestive enzymes (Amhamed et al, 2018). Most fish have seven major digestive enzymes like trypsin, carboxypeptidase a, carboxypeptidase b, maltase, amylase, lipase, and alkaline phosphatases (Hani et al, 2018).…”

“…Therefore, the activities of digestive enzymes in the intestine represent the digestive status of the fish (Xu et al, 2019). The digestive enzyme activities of fish are influenced by various factors such as diet and feeding habits, fish age, growth stage, pH, and temperature, fish species, and digestive system structure (Amhamed et al, 2018). Among these factors, the temperature is one of the most important critical factors that directly affect the reproduction, survival, growth, nutrient intake, nutrient efficiency, and oxygen consumption of fish (Sun et al, 2015).…”
