“…For females, a higher number of these cells were verified, mainly with diets containing 20 and 40 mL per kg of this product in the diet. These results corroborate with Braccini et al (2013), where a higher number of hepatocytes was verified in the liver of Nile tilapia fed Homeopatila 100 ® (40 mL kg -1 ) compared to the control group. Although the animals evaluated have not been subjected to a stress condition, the highest number of hepatocytes verified with the inclusion of the homeopathic complex is important.…”

“…The percentage of glycogen present in hepatocytes was lower in females fed without Homeopatila 100 ® . The largest amount of this reserve substance in the treatment containing 40 mL of the homeopathic complex per kg of feed was also verified for Nile tilapia (Braccini et al, 2013). Nevertheless, the percentage of glycogen present inside zebrafish hepatocytes was higher than that observed in Nile tilapia.…”

“…Remarkable results have been observed, such as increased muscle hypertrophy, survival, decrease in lipid content and omega 6:3 ratio (Júnior et al, 2012;Andretto et al, 2014). Scientific studies report that homeopathy causes minor liver damage, greater storage of glycogen and a lower hepatosomatic rate, besides not influencing the quality __________________ Corresponding editor: Jesús Ponce Palafox of meat and derived products and improving breeding rates, such as spawning frequency and larvae hatching (Valentim-Zabott et al, 2008;Siena et al, 2010;Braccini et al, 2013;Andretto et al, 2015;Lima et al, 2015;Pinheiro et al, 2015) demonstrating that the product Homeopatila 100 ®, when acting as a hepatoprotective, can influence important factors in the production, growth, reproduction, and quality of meat.…”

The homeopathy has been practiced for many years, mainly using rodent as a research model. Zebrafish have been used as an animal model in different scientific areas and may represent an important model in studies with this therapy. This paper aimed to evaluate the action of Homeopatila 100 ® on the growth, the action on the liver and reproduction of zebrafish. The study was carried out with 192 six months old animals. The experimental period was three months, being evaluated the growth, the hepatosomatic and viscerosomatic indexes, the number of hepatocytes per area and the percentage of glycogen in these cells, performing the hepatic histology of males and females. It was evaluated the reproduction of the animals, checking the production and probability of hatching of the eggs. It was found that homeopathy increases the number of hepatocytes and glycogen in females, as well as improved the reproductive indices evaluated.

“…Several studies have been undertaken with Nile tilapia and Homeopatila 100 ® (Siena et al, 2010;Braccini et al, 2013;Merlini et al, 2014). Because there are few reports on the products prepared from tilapia fillets and MSM treated with homeopathy, the current investigation provides the physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory evaluation of nuggets from MSM of Nile tilapia prepared with Homeopatila 100 ® .…”

The homeopathic product Homeopatila 100 ® in the diet of Nile tilapia reduces stress during production and improves the well-being of fish. The objective of this study was to develop nuggets of tilapia fed with Homeopatila 100 ® and to assess their quality. Physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory analyses were performed on three formulations with 25, 50 and 75% mechanically separated meat (MSM) for each of the treatments. The nuggets with 75% MSM revealed a higher pH (5.89 ± 0.02), the tissue was softer (1.29 N ± 0.04), and they had a higher lipid value (15.96% ± 0.05). With 50 and 75%, the color (L * ) was darker (60.76% ± 0.91 and 60.03% ± 0.78), and there were lower protein amounts (15.54% ± 0.31 and 13.55% ± 0.35). Nuggets had an acceptable value of lipid oxidation (0.672 ± 0.007 mg MDA/kg). The microbiological analyses demonstrated that the product met the requirements of legislation. Nuggets with 25 and 50% MSM were deemed acceptable. There was no difference (p > 0.05) between the control treatment group and the Homeopatila 100 ® group for the analysis undertaken. The results indicated that the use of Homeopatila 100 ® in the diet of the Nile tilapia did not change the physical, chemical, microbiological and sensorial quality characteristics of the nuggets, ensuring consumer acceptability.

“…The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a species which is most commonly used in net-tanks, owing to such positive traits as genetic plasticity, rusticity, early development, short generation, facility for adaptation to adverse conditions, high quality flesh, resistance to stress and various types of pollutants (EL-SAYED, 2006;BRACCINI et al, 2013). The tilapia has good feed conversion coupled to reproduction facility in confinement.…”

Predominance of ectoparasites and bacteria diagnosis were identified in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), GIFT strain, bred in net-tanks at different densities. Current experiment was performed in the Corvo's river, State of Paraná, Brazil, in two cycles: cycle A installed in August 2010 with 155 days, and cycle B, installed in February 2011 with 128 days. Twenty 6.8 m -3 (2.0 x 2.0 x 1.7 m) net-tanks were employed, using 6.0 m -3 and five densities (150, 175, 200, 225 and 250 fish/m -3 ), with four replications each. No significant difference was registered with regard to the prevalence of ectoparasites due to densities in the two experimental cycles. In the months of September to November cycle A displayed increase in the predominance of Trichodina and a decrease in the prevalence of Monogenoidea and mixed parasites. Further, an inverse relationship with a decrease in the prevalence of Trichodina and an increase in the prevalence of Monogenoidea and mixed parasites occurred during October and November. Trochodina prevalence occurred in October and November. Cycle B showed a significant difference in total prevalence of ectoparasites due to months. There was an increase in tricodinid infestation between March and June in proportion to increase of density and throughout the experiment. More care should be taken with regard to densities during the period. No positive result was registered in the diagnosis of bacteria in Nile tilapias in the two cycles. The above was perhaps due to the water quality standards for the species and the cleanliness of the net-tanks for the experiments. Density increase did not affect the prevalence of ectoparasites and influenced tricodinid infestation between March and June. (Oreochromis niloticus) da variedade GIFT, criadas em tanques-rede, utilizando diferentes densidades. O experimento foi conduzido no Rio do Corvo, PR, em dois ciclos: ciclo A, implantado em agosto de 2010 com duração de 155 dias e ciclo B, implantado em fevereiro de 2011 com duração de 128 dias. Para cada ciclo foram instalados 20 tanques-rede de 6,8 m -3 (2,0 x 2,0 x 1,7 m), com 6,0 m -3 úteis, adotando cinco densidades (150, 175, 200, 225 e 250 peixes/m -3 ), com quatro repetições. Não houve diferença significativa na prevalência de ectoparasitos em relação às densidades nos dois ciclos de experimento. Observou-se no nos meses de setembro a novembro do ciclo A um aumento na prevalência de Trichodina e decréscimo na prevalência de Monogenoidea e parasitismo misto, nos meses de outubro e novembro observou-se uma relação inversa com uma diminuição na prevalência de Trichodina e aumento na prevalência de Monogenoidea e parasitismo misto. Os meses de outubro e novembro apresentaram a maior prevalência de Trichodina do ciclo A. No ciclo B ocorreu uma diferença significativa na prevalência total de ectoparasitos em relação aos meses. Em relação à categoria de infestação por tricodinídeos, nos meses de março a junho houve um aumento na medida em que aumentava-se a densidade e no decorrer do experimento, ju...
