Estimation of dietary copper requirement of fingerling Indian major carp, Labeo rohita (Hamilton)

A new insight on copper: Promotion of collagen synthesis and myofiber growth and development in juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

“…This study showed that growth performance of juvenile grass carp was significantly influenced by appropriate dietary Cu. According to our findings, the PWG, FI, and FE of juvenile grass carp were increased by appropriate dietary Cu, proving that appropriate Cu level (4.06 mg/kg) could enhance the growth performance of juvenile grass carp, which was consistent with on-growing grass carp ( Tang et al., 2013 ) and Indian juvenile carp ( Musharraf and Khan, 2022 ).…”

“…Cu is also crucial for fish growth ( Lall, 2003 ). It has been shown that suitable Cu levels improve the growth performance of on-growing grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella) ( Tang et al., 2013 ) and Indian juvenile carp ( Labeo rohita ) ( Musharraf and Khan, 2022 ). Animal growth is primarily determined by skeletal muscle development, which is inseparable from myofiber growth and development, as well as extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition ( Karalaki et al., 2009 ).…”

Addition of Butyric Acid and Lauric Acid Glycerides in Nursery Pig Feed to Replace Conventional Growth Promoters

“…Haptoglobin and C-reactive protein are acute-phase proteins [32] and have their concentrations altered when innate immunity is activated [33]. Ceruloplasmin is an acute-phase protein that carries copper from the liver to other tissue cells [34]. Acute-phase proteins are produced and secreted by hepatocytes and extrahepatic tissues such as epithelial cells, endoepithelial cells, and connective tissue [35].…”
