White Mulberry

This study has been done for evaluating the growth performance and health performance of Cyprinus carpio isoenergetic with isonitrogenous diets which contain three levels (0, 10, 15, gm of mulberry fruit powder, have been used for a period of 12 weeks. The effect of white mulberry (Morus albas L.) fruit powder on common carp, T2 was significantly higher than other treatments in each of growth performance and feed utilization parameters. the adding of white mulberry fruit powder significantly increased each of CBC counts in T2 of RBC and HCT%. The conrol was significantly higher in each of MCH, MCHC, MCV and Platelets count. Cholestrol, triglyceride and HDL were higher significantly in T2, LDL was significantly higher in control. The white mulberry (M. albas L.) fruit powder effect significantly in, GPT, GOT, in T2 and the CKI and blood suger were higher significantly in the control, the control was significantly higher in each of total protein, and albumin ratio. T2 was higher significantly in Intestine Length Index in both fish weigth and length, and both fish weigth without viscera and/ or head. No significant differences in each of Intestine Weight Index among treatments, blood Globulin ratio, Hemoglobin count and VLDL.

An 82-day study was conducted to assess the effect of the dietary lipid levels on growth performance, feed utilization, lipid deposition, and hepatopancreas lipometabolism of large-sized common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Six isonitrogenous (300 g/kg protein) pelletized diets with different dietary lipid levels (30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 g/kg) were fed in triplicate to fish groups with 75 individuals (with an initial mean weight of 247.00 ± 16.67 g). The results showed that there was a significant increase in weight gain (WG) rate (WGR), specific growth rate (SGR), and protein efficiency ratio (PER) as dietary lipid levels increased from 30 to 60 g/kg (p < 0.05) and then there was a decline. Feed conversion rate (FCR) was observed to be significantly lower in 60 g/kg lipid treatments (p < 0.05). Muscle crude protein contents were obtained to be significantly higher in 60 and 90 g/kg treatments (p < 0.05). The crude lipid content in the hepatopancreas increased significantly with an increase in dietary lipid levels (p < 0.05). The expression of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT1) in the hepatopancreas was significantly downregulated with an increase in dietary lipid levels while the expression of growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), fatty acid synthase (FAS), acetyl-CoA carboxylase-1 (ACC-1), and sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) was upregulated first in 30 and 60 g/kg lipid treatments and then downregulated significantly in other treatments. The results revealed that excess dietary lipid supplements (more than 60 g/kg) would inhibit WG and would aggravate the lipid decomposition in the hepatopancreas. Based on WGR and FCR, the dietary lipid levels of 59.5 and 70.4 g/kg were optimal for growth performance and feed utilization of large-sized common carp.

Vegetable oils are a source of natural antioxidants, including tocopherols, sterols, phenolic compounds, coenzymes, and polyunsaturated fatty acids that provide nutritional value, organoleptic properties, and significantly delay or prevent lipid oxidation. Eighty-four V-line rabbits at 5 weeks of age with an initial body weight (BW) of 535.60 ± 13.48 g were assigned randomly to four experimental groups (seven replicates in each group with three rabbits each). The first group served as a control and received 0.3 mL/kg BW of distilled water (CON), while the second and third groups received 0.3 mL/kg BW of rocket seed oil (RSO) and wheat germ oil (WGO), respectively. The fourth group received a mixture of oils consisting of 0.15 mL of RSO and 0.15 mL of WGO/kg BW (MOs). The experiment lasted 7 weeks. The study investigated the effects of RSO, WGO, and their mixture on growth performance, feed utilization, antioxidant status, and immune response of growing rabbits. The results indicated that the rabbits that were administered orally with RSO and WGO or their mixture had higher (p ≤ 0.05) final BW, weight gain, and average daily gain when compared to the control group. In addition, the feed conversion ratio improved significantly with RSO, WGO, and MOs treatments. Different oil treatments improved nutrient digestibility, nutritive value, and nitrogen balance. Moreover, the rabbits that received RSO, WGO, and their mixture had an improvement the meat fatty acid composition compared to the control rabbits. Oral administration of RSO, WGO, and their mixture significantly improved serum protein fractions, decreased blood urea nitrogen, and had a positive effect on serum total lipids, HDL-c, and LDL-c. Furthermore, the treatments of RSO, WGO, and MOs had a significant improvement in the antioxidative status and immune response.
