Microbial Phytase

This study aimed to determine the effects of diets replacing soybean meal with safflower meal and phytase enzyme on feed utilization, growth performance, body composition, serum biological parameters, and environmental effects of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). To this aim, five different isonitrogenous (44%) and isocaloric (23 kJ) experimental feeds were formulated as follows: the control group (C) containing no safflower meal and enzyme; SFM10 and SFM20 groups containing 10% and 20% of safflower meal instead of soybean meal, respectively; and SFM10 ± P1000 and SFM20 ± P2000 groups containing 10% safflower meal and 1000 IU/kg phytase and 20% safflower meal and 2000 IU/kg phytase, respectively. Juveniles (12.57 ± 3.05 g average weight) were fed for 60 days. As a result, the best growth rate and feed conversion were recorded in the SFM20 ± P2000 group with 127.07 ± 7.73% and 1.13 ± 0.020, respectively p<0.05. On the contrary, total phosphorus in SFM20 ± P2000 group trial feed was 1.20 ± 0.02, while 0.70 ± 0.08 was found in feces that is the best result between other groups. ALP, LDH, TPROT, CHOL, and triglyceride levels were not statistically different among the experimental groups. ALT, AST, glucose, and albumin levels in serum resulted to be affected by different phytase levels but without any negative effect on fish growth and fish health status. Cholesterol level in the SFM10 ± P1000 group was the highest and positively affected growth and health status of this group. In conclusion, 20% safflower meal replacement along with 2000 IU/kg microbial phytase in feeds can be considered suitable for rainbow trout due to its sustainability and reduced environmental effects due to reduced phosphorous excretion.

Aquaculture development is influenced by various environmental factors and nutrition with herbal additives can affect the growth in aquaculture and to improve indicators such as digestibility, nutrition effectiveness and food taste. The purpose of this study was to trace growth performance, meat quality and biochemical blood parameters (glucose, urea, creatinine, total protein, albumin, ASAT, ALAT, Ca, P, Mg, triglycerides, cholesterol) of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss W.) fed with additive blessed thistle (Cnicus benedictus L.) extract. To achieve the objective a control group (no added) and an experimental (with added 1363 mg.kg-1 of blessed thistle extract) option, each with a two repetition, were set in a recirculating system in the Aquaculture Base of the Faculty of Agriculture at the Trakia University. Forty specimens from the fish species rainbow trout with an average weight of fish 13.32+3.07 g (control) and 13.33+2.58 g (experimental) in good health condition were placed in each tank and cultivated for 60 days. At the end of the experiment were calculated average final weight, specific growth rates, feed conversion ratio, meat quality and blood parameters. Trout from the experimental group, fed with supplement had with 8.52% higher average final weight compared to the parameter value of fish from control (P<0.001). The blood biochemical parameters ASAT and ALAT in control variant were higher with 27.4% and 44% respectively, compare to values of this parameter of fish from the experimental (P>0.05). Experimental fish fed with additive blessed thistle have a higher electrolytes level of magnesium (Mg) with 5.26% compared to control group (P>0.05). The protein content in the fish of the control group and experimental were of close value, but not statistically proven. The blessed thistle supplementation in the diet led to lower the lipid content in the fillets of the rainbow trout with 19.7% compare to values of this parameter of fish from control group and was statistically proven (P<0.05). This result shows that fish fed with the supplement are more useful and dietetic in their quality as human food. Rainbow trout fed with blessed thistle supplement have better growth performance and blood parameters.

Seven out of 34 isolates were selected as putative probionts. These were mixed with an equal volume of a lipid oralizer and incorporated into compounded feed pellets to achieve a dose of 5 x 107 bacterial cells•g-1 of fish food and fed to Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss fingerlings (average weight 23.69 g) for a period of 25 days. Superior growth (SGR) ranging between 0.32 to 0.57 (P< 0.05) as compared to 0.08 of the control group were obtained in animals fed the probiotic feeds. A challenge of these probiotic fed rainbow trout with intra-peritoneal injections of an inoculum containing x 106 cells•ml-1 of A. Salmonicida (strain PR 107) recorded high survival rates ranging between 38% in group F5 to 78% in group F7 as compared to 20% survival in the animals fed the control diet devoid of any probiotic up to 14 days after challenge. The results of the present study clearly demonstrate the beneficial effects of orally administered probionts in enhancing growth of culture organisms as well as in increasing their resistance to diseases.

In this study, the effects of supplementation of cinnamon oil on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) feeds on fish growth performance, feed evaluation and blood parameters were investigated. In this scope, experimental diets containing cinnamon oil at 5 different concentrations of 0 mL/kg (TY0), 1 mL/kg (TY1), 2 mL/kg (TY2), 4 mL/kg (TY4) and 10 mL/kg (TY10) were prepared. During the 60 days of the study, the rainbow trout weights of 10,68±0,35 g were used and the experiment was carried out in 100 L volume aquariums with 5 groups of 3 replicate. In the feeding experiment, growth performance and feed utilization of the groups fed with cinnamon oil increased significantly compared to the control group. It was determined that cinnamon oil had significantly increasing effect on erythrocyte, hemoglobin amount and hematocrit ratio in fish. In addition, cinnamon oil decreased the level of serum glucose, triglyceride and cholesterol in the fish, and increased the total protein and albumin content. As a result, feed containing 4 mL/kg of cinnamon oil was affected fish growth performance and blood parameters positively.

Aquaculture’s sustainability deeply relies on the identification and inclusion of alternative raw materials. Although meals from insects and/or byproducts from different industries are being recently tested, the meal from terrestrial vegetable species is still the main substitution candidate for fish meal. Here the effects of 0% (Control), 10% (A10) and 30% (A30) inclusion of Narbonne vetch (Vicia narbonensis; ZV-156 strain) meal in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) diets was assessed in a 63-day feeding trial by means of growth performance, histopathological, nutritional value of the fish fillet and blood biochemistry analyses. A dose-response trial was conducted in triplicate with 25 rainbow trout juveniles (20 g average body weight) per 500 L tank. Narbonne vetch meal decreased total intestine protease activity in vitro (from 26.81% to 48% inhibition), although high temperature partially inhibited the action of antinutritional factors (ANFs). No differences in fish growth performance and no severe histopathological alterations on the proximal intestine were observed between 10% Narbonne vetch inclusion and Control groups. In contrast, high inclusion (30%) of Narbonne vetch led to poor growth performance (30% reduction on final growth) and severe histopathological alterations (e.g., loss of brush border integrity, high number of villi fusion, reduced goblet cells density as well as reduced width of submucosa, muscular and serosa layers). Furthermore, while the A30 diet decreased docosahexaenoic fatty acid (FA) content in fish fillets, the A10 diet improved monounsaturated FA content when compared to that of the Control group. No altered levels of cholesterol, glucose or triglycerides in blood plasma and/or histopathological effects on the liver were observed among fish fed the different experimental diets. Although further research efforts (e.g., identifying potential enzymatic treatments to decrease the action of ANFs from Narbonne vetch meal) might be required, present results show that a low inclusion (10%) of Narbonne vetch in rainbow trout diets is possible. The inclusion of locally produced legumes such a Narbonne vetch might be an interesting approach to reduce carbon footprint in European aquaculture and the dependency on other alternative raw materials such as soybean (Glycine max) imported from third countries.

In this study, the effects of Ferulago angulata extract on the growth, haematological, and immunological indices of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fingerlings were evaluated. Basal diet was supplemented with 0 (control), 0.5, 1, and 2 g·kg-1 F. angulata and was randomly allocated to experimental fish of an initial average weight of 7.45 ± 0.02 g. After 8 weeks of experiment, the fish supplemented with F. angulata extract showed increased but non-significant (P > 0.05) growth performance. No significant differences were found between trial control groups in haematological indices such as red blood cell count, haematocrit, and haemoglobin, but there was a significant increase in white blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils and monocytes in the F. angulata extract groups (P < 0.05). Also, there were significant differences between the fish supplemented with dietary F. angulata extract and the control group regarding immunological indices, including immunoglobulin M, lysozyme, and classical and alternative complement pathway (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that the administration of F. angulata extract has a positive effect on the immunological indices and the immune system activity in rainbow trout fingerling.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effect of beta-glucan in rainbow trout’s diet on survival, growth performance, hematological, immunity and biochemical parameters. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with an average weight of 6.35 ± 0.09 were stocked in 30 fiberglass tanks with a volume of 200 liters. Four treatments including: control group (0%), 0.5, 1 and 2% of beta-glucan were considered for 8 weeks. The results showed that the survival and growth performance of rainbow trout in the control group were at the lowest level and showed a significant difference with other treatments. The highest percentage of hematocrit (47.9%), white blood cell count, neutrophil percentage (35.2%) was observed in the treatment with 2% beta-glucan. Also, the highest lysosomal activity (59.7 units’ mL− 1, IgM (54.7 mg dL− 1), C3 and C4 was obtained in 2% beta-glucan treatment. Biochemical parameters showed improvement in treatments fed with 1 and 2% beta-glucan. In general, the present study showed that 2% beta-glucan in the diet of rainbow trout improves growth performance, survival, hematological, immunity and biochemical parameters.

The Impact

AbstractPrecisely analysing and optimising feeding regimes is central to salmonid growth performance and delivery of special diets. The current study developed novel video surveillance methods and analysis techniques to assess individual feed intake and minimum pellet intake (MPI) in individually identified juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Three trials were conducted to test the impact of short-term starvation (N=112 [16 tanks, 7 fish per tank], average weight=27.1±3.4g, age= 119 days), portion numbers per feeding (N=105 [15 tanks, 7 fish per tank], average weight=22.8±2.1g, age= 99 days) and varied numbers of daily feeding events (N=84 [12 tanks, 7 fish per tank], average weight=32.4±3.3g, age= 133 days). All trails were carried out in a recirculating aquaculture system with 20 tanks held at 15 ± 0.5°C. All individuals were code-tagged and high quality video images were taken and analysed to identify all feeding interactions. Individual trout feeding activity under different feeding regimes could be precisely analysed with the video methods developed. Moving from one to two daily feeding events doubled pellet intake per fish from 27.4 ± 5.8 to 52.8 ± 11.5 pellets. Pellet intake (58.8 ± 24.2 pellets) did not increase at three daily feeding events but became more variable across fish. MPI nearly doubled to 30 pellets in fish receiving two daily feeding events (MPI30: chi-squared = 8.74, df = 2, p = 0.01). Short-term starvation had no influence on intake (28 ± 8 pellets/fish) or MPI. Increasing portion number from one (27.8 ± 7.4 pellets fish−1) to two (31.1 ± 7.4 pellets fish−1) or more did not significantly increase the number of ingested pellets. Adjusting the feeding regime by increasing daily feeding events to two, possibly combined with multiple portions, can increase pellet intake and reduce the heteroscedasticity of pellet intake. The methods presented in this study are viable for analysing feeding regimes for juvenile rainbow trout and controlled feedstock/supplement delivery. Implications for analyses with other species and for vaccination optimisation are discussed.
