Determination of quarantine period in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fed with pig (Sus sp.) offal to assure compliance with halal standards

Testicular tissues obtained from 25 apparently healthy broodstock African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) of 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12 months old were used to investigate the morphological adaptations of the testicles suitable for reproductive exercises. The result showed that the mean gonadosomatic indices of the pooled testicles of the catfish increased linearly from 0.30 ± 0.02, 0.34 ± 0.01, 0.45 ± 0.09 at 6, 8, and 9 months of age respectively and peaked at 12 months with a GSI value of 0.61±0.13. Moreover, the epithelial height of the seminiferous tubules of 9 month old catfish was significantly (P<0.05) higher than the epithelial heights of the 6, 8, 10 and 12 month old fish. The luminal diameters of the seminiferous tubules of the testicles of 10 and 12 months old catfish were significantly (P<0.05) higher than the luminal diameters of the 6, 8 and 9 months old fish. The encapsulated testicles of the catfish exhibited seminiferous lobules which contained spermatogenic cells in cysts. However, at 10 months, there were partial distortion of the cystic distribution of the spermatogenic cells and occasional loss of the germinal epithelium while evidences of necrosis of some of the cells of the seminiferous epithelium were recorded in the testicles of 12 months old fish. Finally, the present study has provided morphological evidences that the use of gonadosomatic indices alone in the determination of the reproductive state of a fish population may give an erroneous picture and that the 8 and 9 months old broodstock African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) may be most suitable for breeding exercises.

Background: Natural preservatives are compounds produced by natural ingredients that can suppress bacterial growth and development. Natural preservatives are carried out because most of the preservatives circulating are chemicals and unsafe for the body. One of the natural preservatives is by using garlic extract (Allium sativum L). Objective: This study is aimed to determine the effectiveness of the antibacterial garlic (Allium sativum L) as a natural preservative in fresh African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Method: This research used the Pour Plate iroculation method. African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) which is soaked with garlic (Allium sativum L) with a concentration of 7%, 14% and 21% for 30 minutes, then the fish will be kept at room temperature with a storage period of 24 hours and 48 hours and calculated growth in bacterial numbers with the Colony counter. Result: Based on the research result, it was found that garlic extract (Allium sativum L) can obstruct the effectiveness of antibacterial in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) at a concentration of 14%.

Effect of four types of diluentss and four concentration of DMSO (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) against the motility of African catfish sperm were evaluated after storage at freezing temperatures. The steps in preparation the 16 treatments combination of the diluents are preparation of diluents, mixing diluents with DMSO, packing of semen into 0.3-ml straw, equilibration of semen at 4 °C for 30 minutes, freezing of semen in nitrogen vapor liquid at a height of 6.5 cm for 10 minutes, and subsequently storage of semen in liquid nitrogen (-196 0C) for further analysis of post-thawing motility (PTM). The result showed that the highest level of motility of spermatozoa was in treatment P1D15 (45.7 ± 4.3%) and the lowest was in treatment P2D20 (14.5 ± 13.2%). The best diluent in this observation was diluents containing NaCl, KCl, CaCl2 and NaHCO3. The best concentration was DMSO 15%. While the best interaction between the concentration of DMSO diluents is P1D15 treatments containing NaCl, KCl, CaCl 2 and NaHCO3 with a combination of 15% DMSO concentration. The conclusion of the research is that diluents containing NaCl, KCl, CaCl2 and NaHCO3 with a combination of 15% DMSO concentration can be used in cryopreservation of African catfish semen.
