“…Nowadays, herbs or herbal products serve as a new class of growth promoters that provide an alternative feeding strategy to replace antibiotic growth promoters in aquaculture (Direkbusarakom 2004;El-Sayed, El-Galil & Rashied 2014). Over the past decade, research has increased on the use of traditional plant-based medicines, such as Withania somnifera in rohu (Labeo rohita), Echinacea purpurea in the guppy (Poecilia reticulate), Zingiber officinale in the Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer), Aloe vera in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and Mucuna pruriens in rohu (Sharma, Deo, Riteshkumar, Chanu & Das 2010;Guz, Sopinska & Oniszcuk 2011;Mahdavi, Hajimoradloo & Ghorbani 2013;Talpur, Ikhwanuddin & Ambok Bolong 2013;Ojha et al 2014) to produce various beneficial effects, including growth promoter, appetite stimulators and increases disease resistance (Guo, Kuo, Chuang, Hong, Chou & Chen 2012;Samad, Santoso, Lee & Nan 2014).…”

This study was carried out to show the effects of Sangrovit on growth, blood biochemical parameters, survival and resistance to salinity stress in the Caspian roach. Fish (1.24 AE 0.13 g) were divided into four groups fed diets containing Sangrovit at different levels: 0 (control), 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15% for 45 days. The results showed that there was a significant increase in final weight, weight gain and specific growth rate in those fish fed 0.15% Sangrovit diets compared with the control (P < 0.05). Food conversion rate of fish fed 0.05% Sangrovit diet was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than the control group. Condition factor was not significantly affected by Sangrovit dosage (P > 0.05). The blood glucose and cholesterol levels were significantly lower in treated groups compared with the control (P < 0.05). The highest total protein was obtained in the 0.15% group and it was significantly higher than in all other groups (P < 0.05). Challenges were carried out after 45 days of feeding, to determine the effect of Sangrovit on resistance to salinity stress. Blood samples were obtained four times after challenge (day 1, 3, 5 and 7) for evaluate haematocrit levels. On the first day, haematocrit increased significantly in all groups compared to day 5 and 7 (P < 0.05). The haematocrit levels decreased gradually in all groups from the third day. Before and after stress, no differences were observed for survival rate among the experimental diets (P > 0.05). These results indicate that the inclusion of 0.15% Sangrovit in the diet of the Caspian roach enhances feed efficiency, fish growth and blood biochemical parameters.

“…Garlic extracts, which are a rich source of allicin, have shown a wide spectrum of antibacterial, antiviral, antiprotozoal and antifungal properties (Guo et al, 2012), with an associated potential to improve diets digestibility and fish growth performance (Lee and Gao, 2012). However, in the present study, according to the linear regression analysis, increased dietary GEO levels led to impaired development of severum post-larvae.…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of garlic essential oil (GEO) on the growth performance and morphometric variables of severum (Heros severus) post-larvae. A growth trial was performed using 150 severum post-larvae (1.6 ± 0.03 mg and 5.58 ± 0.1 mm), distributed in fifteen 1-L aquaria, with constant aeration. The fish were essayed in a completely randomized design with five treatments, using diets containing graded levels of GEO (0.00, 0.05, 0.50, 1.00 and 1.50 g kg-1) and three replicates. The diets were offered four times a day, until apparent satiation, for 30 days. At the end of the experiment, the fish were counted, weighed and measured, to evaluate growth performance and morphometric variables. Increased diet levels of GEO resulted in a linear reduction in growth performance parameters, except for the survival rate, weight and length uniformity of the batch, and morphometric variables which did not present significant differences. Elevated concentrations of dietary GEO may be detrimental to larvae and post-larvae of fish, which could be more sensitive to the potential damage that high concentrations of this essential oil may cause. Therefore, the inclusion of GEO in levels above 0.05 g kg-1 in diets for severum post-larvae is not recommended.

“…Rafsanjani et al (2006) studied the behavior of gastric acid and pepsin on rats provided with feeds supplemented with garlic, and observed an increase in the discharge of those substances, possibly resulting in better digestion and performance for the animal. Guo et al (2012) demonstrated the applicability of garlic to fish nutrition by supplementing the diet of groupers (Epinephelus coioides) with garlic (13 g Kg ) for 14 days, observing an increased weight gain, better food efficiency, and longer survival of those fish when challenged by Aeromonas hydrophila. The authors stated that these effects occurred because garlic is bactericide.…”

The performance and hematologic responses of juvenile piavuçu fish (Leporinus macrocephalus) that were fed with feeds containing garlic, cinnamon, and yeast before being submitted to stress from capture were evaluated. The experiment was conducted in the Fish Nutrition Laboratory (Laboratório de Alimentação e Nutrição de Peixes), where 192 piavuçu juveniles (3.09 ± 0.8 g) were distributed among 16 tanks (170 L), with a density of 12 fish per tank. The experiment consisted of four treatments and four repetitions. Treatments included the addition of 10 g Kg -1 garlic, 10 g Kg -1 cinnamon, and 9x10 5UFC g -1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, in addition to a control diet that included no additives. The performance, body indices, and survival of the fish were evaluated. After the performance test, the fish were submitted to stress from capture, and the effect of the additives as a stress reducer was evaluated through hematologic analyses. Better weight gain and feed conversion ratios (P≤0.05) were observed in the fish fed with diets containing garlic and cinnamon; however, no alterations were noticed in the nutritional composition of fish carcasses, regardless of the treatment they were submitted to. A reduction in the number of leukocytes of the fish submitted to stress in all treatments was verified. It is possible to conclude that diets supplemented with garlic and cinnamon at the level of 10 g Kg -1 led to a better performance, while not influencing the hematologic standards after the stress from capture. canela e 9x10 5 UFC g -1 de levedura Saccharomyces cerevisiae e uma dieta controle, sem a inclusão de aditivo. Foram avaliados o desempenho, índices corporais e sobrevivência dos peixes. Após o ensaio de desempenho os peixes foram submetidos ao estresse de captura e o efeito dos aditivos como mitigador do estresse foi avaliado por meio de análises hematológicas. Observou-se melhor ganho de peso e conversão alimentar (P≤0,05) nos peixes alimentados com as dietas contendo alho e canela, porém não foram observadas alterações na composição bromatológica da carcaça em nenhum dos tratamentos. Verificou-se redução nos números de leucócitos dos peixes submetidos ao estresse em todos os tratamentos. Conclui-se que dietas suplementadas com alho e canela ao nível de 10 g Kg -1 apresentaram melhor desempenho, não influenciando nos parâmetros hematológicos após o estresse de captura.
