“…Production of this species increased during the first decade of 21 st century and in 2012, world production was about 2.8 million t (FAO, 2015). Demand for fish consumption is constantly increasing as a source of food and for health benefits (Abdulkadir et al, 2016;Tiamiyu et al, 2016). Fishmeal is a major source of protein used in formulation of feed for different fish species as it contains important vitamins, attractants, nutrients, fatty acids and amino acids (Dawood et al, 2015).…”

Present research work was conducted to evaluate the effect of phytase supplementation on nutrient digestibility, growth performance and hematological indices of Catla catla (Hamilton, 1822) fingerlings fed Moringa oleifera seed meal (MOSM) based diet. Existence of phytate in plant byproducts decreases the bioavailability of nutrients to fish, resulting in low nutrients availability, poor fish growth and hematological indices in fish body. Moringa byproducts such as M. oleifera seed meal (MOSM) was used as test ingredient to formulate experimental diet. Experimental diet was divided into six test diets and were supplemented with graded levels (0, 300, 600, 900, 1200 and 1500 FTU kg -1 ) of phytase. The fingerlings were fed at the rate of 4% of live wet weight twice a day in V-shaped indoor tanks. Phytase supplementation showed significant (p<0.05) improvement in bioavailability of nutrients, growth indices and hematological parameters. Results showed that maximum growth performance, digestibility of nutrients and improved hematological values of C. catla fingerlings were noted at 900 FTU kg -1 level of phytase supplementation in MOSM based test diet. It was concluded that phytase supplementation at 900 FTU kg -1 level was helpful to develop an eco-friendly and cost effective fish feed incorparating moringa seed meal.

“…Due to increasing demand for food world over, quality nutrition is a major problem to be focused, particularly in underdeveloped countries (Abdulkadir et al, 2016). Aquaculture is considered as one of the best alternative protein source and is now a growing industry owing to the need for good quality protein (Rowland et al, 1991).…”

Sunflower meal based diet supplemented with selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) atlevels of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg kg-1 were fed common carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus 1758) fingerlings in a seventy days feeding trial, to examine the effects on growth, nutrient digestibility and heamatology. Triplicate tanks were used and each tank contained 15 fingerlings that were subjected to experimental feeding at 4% of their live wet weight. A non-digestible marker, chromic oxide was added in the feed at 1% level. Growth performance in terms of weight gain %, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and specific growth rate (SGR) as well as nutrient digestibility (crude protein, crude fat, gross energy) were estimated following standard methods/standard formulae. Maximum weight gain% (210%), SGR (1.26) and best FCR (1.26) as well as highest nutrient digestibility (crude protein 71%, crude fat 72% and gross energy 70%) were observed in fish fed test diet III supplemented with 2 mg kg-1 Se NPs These results showed that, Se nanoparticles supplementation at the rate of 2 mg kg-1 level is beneficial for improvement of growth in C. carpio fingerlings.

“…This corresponds with a report showing decrease in flavonoid content in the order leaf > stem > fruit in S. nigrum 28 . High flavonoid contents might be related to the high chlorophyll content 19 and different phytochemical compounds present in leaves 30 . Waghulde et al 2 reported a low amount of flavonoid content in ethanolic, and fruit methanolic extract than the current experiment.…”

Secondary metabolites in the Solanaceae group of plants influence human health. Hence fruits and beverages from Solanum torvum are becoming essential not only for their nutritional value but also for medicinal benefits. This study evaluates the antioxidant activity of the extract of fruit, leaf, and stem of S. torvum. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were evaluated using the Folin-Ciocalteu method and AlCl 3 test, respectively. Antioxidant activities were assessed by DPPH radical scavenging and the ferric-reducing antioxidant power assays. The results showed that stem extracts accumulated significantly higher phenolic content and higher reducing ability than the extracts of fruit and leaf. Extracts of leaves contained significantly higher flavonoid content and higher antioxidant capacity towards DPPH than that of in extract of fruit and stem. This result suggests that extracts of stems exhibited a good reducing ability, whereas the extract of leaves displayed an excellent DPPH free radical scavenging ability.
