The Indian Shad Tenualosa ilisha (Hamilton 1822) in the Southern Marshes of Iraq: A Revision and Evaluation of a Compiled Data

Effect of dietary cinnamon supplementation on the growth in length, haematology, serum biochemistry, intestinal microbiota and enzymes and histomorphological changes of the intestine, liver and the kidney of Heteroclarias (Clarias gariepinus ♀ × Heterobra ♂)

“…The results of the three basic haematological tests (RBC, Hb, and haematocrit) used in this investigation showed patterns that complemented those of the growth performance parameters; the cinnamon dietary groups had a significantly elevated level of red blood cell, haemoglobin, haematocrit and platelets when compared to the control with DT4-fed group having the highest values of these parameters. An elevated level of these primary haematological measures has been linked to weight gain because increasing haemoglobin content has an immediate impact on fish respiratory gas transit, heart rate, and ultimate weight gain (Jawad et al 2004, Majid and Mousavi-Sabet 2022, Montazeri Parchikolaei et al 2021. Ahmad et al (2011) reported that the number of RBC, haemoglobin, and hematocrit in Nile tilapia was significantly increased by adding 1% cinnamon powder to the diet.…”
