“…However, the general morphology of all investigated groups showed a normal appearance, and the morphometric analysis clarified that the addition of BSFA to the Nile tilapia diet has a significant augmentation in the intestinal villi at the level of villus height, width, area, and goblet cell number. This may be due to the greater feed utilization in Nile tilapia BSFA-fed that was associated with increased intestinal villi surface area which is important for food absorption through the gut(Shukry et al 2022 ; Zaki and Shatby 2015 ).…”

A 95-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the outcomes of feeding Bacillus subtilis fermented Azolla (BSFA) on nonspecific immunity, antioxidative status, intestinal digestive enzymes and histomorphometry, and disease resistance in the Nile tilapia. We formulated five isonitrogenous and isocaloric experimental diets to incorporate BSFA at level of (0%, 15%, 30%, 45%, 60%). The growth performance parameters (FBW, BWG, SGR, PER, and FCR) revealed a significant increase in the BSFA30 tilapia group compared to the control group followed by BSFA45 (P < 0.05). The BSFA30 group exhibited the highest nonspecific immunity parameters including (lysozyme activity, phagocytic index, and phagocytic activity) compared to other groups (P < 0.05). SOD and GPx reported the highest values in the BSFA60 group. Nile tilapia carcass composition was not influenced by BSFA inclusion level (P > 0.05). Interestingly, Nile tilapia fed with BSFA15 diet exhibited the highest protease activity level (P < 0.05), while those fed on BSFA30 documented the highest amylase activity. Intestinal histomorphology was significantly enhanced with the gradual increase of administrated BSFA. Regarding the tilapia disease resistance against Aeromonas septicemia, BSFA significantly diminished the cumulative mortality compared to the control group. To sum up, BSFA was more effective in improving the growth performance and immunity of Nile tilapia. Graphical abstract

“…Meanwhile, Zn acts as a coenzyme factor for more than 200 biological enzymes and is involved in biological processes of protein synthesis and metabolism, scavenging of free radicals, and protection of cell membranes from oxidative damage (Dawood et al, 2022;Feng et al, 2011;Watanabe et al, 1997). Zn de ciency leads to symptoms such as stunted growth, skin erosion, decreased immunity (Dawood et al, 2022;Shukry et al, 2022), while Zn supplementation can effectively alleviate and eliminate the symptoms caused by Zn de ciency (Jiang et al, 2016;Tan et al, 2011). The presence and chemical form of Zn are crucial for the absorption of Zn in feeds (Mohammady et al, 2021).…”

This study evaluated the effects of dietary zinc on growth performance, digestive enzyme activities, antioxidant status and immune responses of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus. Five experimental diets were formulated with graded levels of zinc (0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 mg/kg, respectively), and the actual dietary zinc values were 31.4, 51.0, 68.2, 91.9, and 110.8 mg/kg diet, respectively. Sea cucumbers were fed with diets for 2 months. The results showed the growth performance, amylase and trypsin activities of sea cucumber increased signi cantly with zinc supplementation, and the best growth performance and enzyme activities were observed at 40 mg/kg zinc diet. Zinc supplementation signi cantly increased activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), anti-superoxide anion (ASA) and inhibiting hydroxyl radical (AHR), while signi cantly reduced the malondialdehyde (MAD) content. Furthermore, the higher Zn supplementation levels resulted in signi cantly upregulated immune-related genes of hsp90 p105 rel lsz, suggesting that excessive zinc caused oxidative stress. The broken-line regression analysis of speci c growth rate (SGR) indicated dietary zinc requirement in sea cucumber was ~ 66.3 mg/kg diet.
