Abstract:Background The study was to examine the effects of Mesosphaerum suaveolens (MS) leaf extract on growth performance, whole body composition, immunological responses, hematological parameters, digestive enzymes, and antioxidant status in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus).
Methods A total of 525 grass carp, with an average body weight of 110.0 ± 1.0 g, were utilized in a 70-day feeding experiment. Fish were randomly allocated to one of five groups. Each group had a triplicate tank with 35 fish per tank. Diet… Show more
