Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is medicinal plant characterized with sweet flavor which has been used in Bulgarian traditional medicine to improve the condition of the digestive tract and could positively affect digestibility and assimilation of feed nutrients in human and animal organisms. The studies connected with the effect of licorice in fish are limited. The aim of current study was to find the effect of feed supplemented with licorice Glycyrrhiza glabra on growth performance, blood parameters and meet quality in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss W.), raised in the recirculation system. The fish were fed with two feeds: control feed (CF) - without the addition of supplement and experimental feed (EF), with supplementation of 300 mg.kg-1 licorice in pellets. The stocking density of rainbow trout in recirculation system was 50 pcs.m-3. The initial average weight of fish in CF variant was 13.30 ±3.07 g and in EF variant was 13.40±3.55 g without differences being statistically significant (p≥0.05). The continuation of the experiment was 60 days. The average final weight, meat quality, and blood biochemical parameters were measured at the end of the experiment. The SGR and FCR were also calculated. Fish from the experimental group fed with a supplement of licorice had with 8.54% higher average final weight compared to the parameter’s value in trouts from the control variant (p<0.05). SGR in rainbow trout’sfrom experimental variants was higher with 6.9% compared to the value of SGR in fish from CF variant. The blood biochemical parameters in experimental trouts were not significantly affected by supplementation of licorice extract. The average values of glucose, ASAT, and ALAT in control variant were higher respectively with 3.96%, 57.2% and 10.3% compared to values in these parameters measured in the blood of fish from the experimental variant, but differences were not statistically proven (p≥0.05). The meat quality parameters were affected from the addition of licorice in feed for trouts and the moisture, fat, and ash quantities were higher respectively with 2.49%, 36.4% and 12.5% compared with the average values of these parameters found for fish from CF group (p<0.05). The extract from licorice added to feed for the feeding of rainbow trout increases the growth of fish and affect the meat quality parameters (p<0.05), but did not affect significantly the blood parameters (p≥0.05).

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.

Abstract. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the dietary nutmeg extract (Myristica fragrans) supplement on the survival rate, weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), economic efficiency (ECR), blood biochemical parameters, chemical composition and fatty acid profile of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss W.), cultivated in a recirculation system. One hundred and sixty rainbow trouts were distributed in two experimental variants, each with two replications with 80 fish in one group. The average initial live weight of trouts from control (C) and experimental (E) groups was 13.43±0.33 g and 13.46±0.29 g, respectively. Fish were reared in concrete tanks with effective volume of 0.8 m3, part of a recirculation system. Trouts were fed „Aqua garant UNI“ extruded feed produced by Garant-Tiernahrung Gesellschaft m.b.H. – Austria, with pellet size of 2 mm. The feed of fish from the experimental group was supplemented with 1% powdered nutmeg extract (P.I.C.Co LTD), by lubricating the pellets with 5 ml sunflower oil/100 g feed. Control rainbow trouts received feed lubricated with the same amount of sunflower oil. Fish from both groups were fed 3 times daily and their ration was 3% of body weight. The experimental period lasted 60 days. The dietary supplementation of rainbow trouts with nutmeg extract had a negative impact on growth performance and economic efficiency of farming of the species. Final live weight and average individual weight gain were lower, and FCR and ECR values were inferior vs controls. The nutmeg extract had also an adverse effect on water content and dry matter of meat from supplemented fish. A positive effect was demonstrated only on meat fat content, which was substantially lower compared to that of control fish. Despite the higher SFA as well as lower UFA, MUFA, PUFA, n-6 and n-3 fatty acid content of trout meat that received nutmeg extract with feed, the PUFA/SFA and n-6/n-3 ratios remained within the favourable range for human nutrition, e.g. >0.4 and <5, respectively.

Blood biochemistry parameters are valuable tools for monitoring fish health. Their baseline values are still undefined for a multitude of farmed fish species. In this study, changes in the blood profile of rainbow trout females (Oncorhynchus mykiss) from three farms were investigated using different biomarkers during the summer season. In the given context, the main water physicochemical parameters were investigated and twelve biochemical parameters were measured from blood samples of rainbow trout reared in the Fiad, Șoimul de Jos, and Strâmba farms. We selected these farms because the genetic background of the rainbow trout is the same, with all studied specimens coming from the Fiad farm, which has an incubation station. Forty-five samples were collected monthly (May to August) throughout summer to observe the changes in the blood profile of rainbow trout. Principal component analysis showed a clear separation both among the studied farms and months. Furthermore, significant correlations (p < 0.05) between the majority of the biochemical parameters were found, indicating that the environmental parameters can influence several blood parameters at the same time. The present study provides several useful norms for assessing the welfare of rainbow trout, indicating that the relationships among different parameters are important factors in interpreting the blood biochemical profiles.

The present research aimed to examine the effect of dietary phytoextracts supplementation on the growth performance, haematological (white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit) and biochemical (glucose, urea, creatinine, total protein, albumin, ASAT, ALAT) blood parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss W.), cultivated in a recirculation system. The fish were divided into 6 groups: one control (C) and five experimental groups in whose food was added phytoextracts of curcumin (EC), paprika (EP), thyme (ET), oregano (EO) and garlic (EG). The inclusion of phytoextracts had no significant effect on growth parameters of fish from EC, EP, ET, EO and EG groups (P>0.05). Statistically significantly lower feed consumption per unit weight gain was observed in EO group vs C (Р<0.05). The phytoextract supplementation had significant influence on some of the haematological (white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin) and biochemical (urea, creatinine, total protein, albumin, ASAT, ALAT) blood parameters of rainbow trout.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary monosodium glutamate (MSG) on growth performance and blood biochemical parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss W.). Materials and Methods: A total of 200 trouts were allotted in five experimental groups (n=40) that for 60 days received feed supplemented with MSG at the following levels: 0% (K) or 0.5% (E) or 1% (F) or 3% (G) or 5% (H). Results: The average initial weight of trouts was 116.68±1.51 g (K), 116.58±1.33 g (E), 116.43±1.39 g (F), 117.40±1.47 g (G), and 115.95±1.88 g (H). At the end of the trial, control fish (K) had the lowest live weight (242.90±3.87 g) compared to Groups E (252.70±5.69 g), F (250.93±4.82 g), G (248.25±4.98 g), and H (247.95±4.74 g). Feed conversion ratio (FCR) of control group (K) was higher (1.11±0.02) versus FCR values established in Groups E (1.03±0.01), F (1.04±0.02), G (1.07±0.03), and H (1.06±0.02). Albumin, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, phosphorus, magnesium, and triglyceride exhibited statistically significant differences versus controls. Conclusion: The results from the study showed that dietary supplementation of rainbow trouts with MSG increased live weight and reduced FCR. The optimum level of MSG recommended for addition to feed was 0.5%.
