“…As reliable indicators, hematology parameters has been used to evaluate the healthy status and nutritional conditions in many aquatic animals ( 15 , 16 ). Previous research has shown that higher levels of WBC, MON and LYM can contribute to improved immunity in animals under non-stress conditions ( 14 , 38 ). In agreement with findings in common carp ( 39 ) and Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) ( 40 ), our results found that SePCH at concentrations of 0.60 and 1.20 g/Kg increased the counts of WBC, MON and LYM in the blood, suggesting enhanced cellular immune responses in largemouth bass fed with adequate SePCH.…”

This study aimed to assess the impact of dietary selenoprotein extracts from Cardamine hupingshanensis (SePCH) on the growth, hematological parameters, selenium metabolism, immune responses, antioxidant capacities, inflammatory reactions and intestinal barrier functions in juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). The base diet was supplemented with four different concentrations of SePCH: 0.00, 0.30, 0.60 and 1.20 g/Kg (actual selenium contents: 0.37, 0.59, 0.84 and 1.30 mg/kg). These concentrations were used to formulate four isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets for juvenile largemouth bass during a 60-day culture period. Adequate dietary SePCH (0.60 and 1.20 g/Kg) significantly increased weight gain and daily growth rate compared to the control groups (0.00 g/Kg). Furthermore, 0.60 and 1.20 g/Kg SePCH significantly enhanced amounts of white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, lymphocytes and monocytes, and levels of hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin in the hemocytes. In addition, 0.60 and 1.20 g/Kg SePCH increased the mRNA expression levels of selenocysteine lyase, selenophosphate synthase 1, 15 kDa selenoprotein, selenoprotein T2, selenoprotein H, selenoprotein P and selenoprotein K in the fish liver and intestine compared to the controls. Adequate SePCH not only significantly elevated the activities of antioxidant enzymes (Total superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase), the levels of total antioxidant capacity and glutathione, while increased mRNA transcription levels of NF-E2-related factor 2, Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase. However, adequate SePCH significantly decreased levels of malondialdehyde and H2O2 and the mRNA expression levels of kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1a and kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1b in the fish liver and intestine compared to the controls. Meanwhile, adequate SePCH markedly enhanced the levels of immune factors (alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, lysozyme, complement component 3, complement component 4 and immunoglobulin M) and innate immune-related genes (lysozyme, hepcidin, liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2, complement component 3 and complement component 4) in the fish liver and intestine compared to the controls. Adequate SePCH reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin 8, interleukin 1β and interferon γ), while increasing transforming growth factor β1 levels at both transcriptional and protein levels in the liver and intestine. The mRNA expression levels of mitogen-activated protein kinase 13 (MAPK 13), MAPK14 and nuclear factor kappa B p65 were significantly reduced in the liver and intestine of fish fed with 0.60 and 1.20 g/Kg SePCH compared to the controls. Histological sections also demonstrated that 0.60 and 1.20 g/Kg SePCH significantly increased intestinal villus height and villus width compared to the controls. Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of tight junction proteins (zonula occludens-1, zonula occludens-3, Claudin-1, Claudin-3, Claudin-5, Claudin-11, Claudin-23 and Claudin-34) and Mucin-17 were significantly upregulated in the intestinal epithelial cells of 0.60 and 1.20 g/Kg SePCH groups compared to the controls. In conclusion, these results found that 0.60 and 1.20 g/Kg dietary SePCH can not only improve growth, hematological parameters, selenium metabolism, antioxidant capacities, enhance immune responses and intestinal functions, but also alleviate inflammatory responses. This information can serve as a useful reference for formulating feeds for largemouth bass.

The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of different stages of lactation on erythrocyte osmotic fragility, blood leucocyte indices and milk somatic cell count in indigenous Badri cattle. Badri is first registered indigenous, dual purpose cattle breed of the state Uttarakhand (India) mainly reared in hilly areas of the state. Osmotic fragility evaluates the stability of erythrocyte membrane to osmotic stress. Leucocytes form defence mechanism against invading micro-organisms. Somatic cell count is an indicator of udder health. The study was carried out in forty healthy Badri cows divided into five groups according to their lactation stages viz. group 1 (0–60 days), group 2 (61–120 days), group 3 (121–180 days), group 4 (181–240 days) and group 5 (to be dried off). Erythrocyte osmotic fragility, blood total leucocyte count (TLC), differential leucocyte count (DLC) and milk somatic cell count (SCC) were estimated. The percent hemolysis of erythrocytes among different groups was significant (p < 0.05) at 0.9% and 0.5% saline concentrations. A significant effect (p < 0.05) of lactation stages on blood lymphocytes, neutrophils and milk somatic cell count was observed.
