“…The tannin oligomers present human health benefits through their immunomodulatory, antiradical, vasodilatory, cardioprotective, antithrombotic, and anti-UV actions [ 47 , 48 , 49 ]. Others potential health benefits are risk reduction for obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and promoting urination and blood circulation [ 50 ]. Due to these properties, but also to its agronomic advantages (high yield, drought tolerance, and low production costs), interest in sorghum for human and animal consumption has increased considerably worldwide [ 51 ].…”

This study investigates the impact of including sorghum in the diet of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) on its growth, blood parameters, meat composition, intestinal microbiota, and oxidative stress. Experimental diets with varying sorghum content (0%—V0 or control, 10%—V1, 20%—V2, and 30%—V3) were administered to carp weighing 43 g initially. Notably, in the 30% variant, sorghum entirely replaced corn and barley in the diet. Chemical analysis of sorghum unveiled a protein content of 14% and a fat content of 3.9%. Sorghum inclusion led to a decline in final body weight and weight gain, particularly notable in the V3 group with 30% sorghum. However, other physiological parameters, such as feed conversion ratio, specific growth rate, and organ indices, remained unaffected. Protein and salt content in carp flesh increased with higher sorghum inclusion levels, while hematological parameters showed minimal variations. Analysis of the intestinal microbiota revealed increases in both aerobic and anaerobic bacterial populations with sorghum inclusion. Furthermore, sorghum concentration inversely correlated with glutathione levels and positively correlated with malondialdehyde content, indicating a disruption of antioxidant defense mechanisms and elevated oxidative stress.
