AbstractThe current study was carried out to investigate the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae-fermented poultry by product meal (PBM) on growth performance, micromorphological, and immunological changes in common carp. Five experimental diets were prepared to include fermented PBM at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 % level in the diet of common carp (4.91±0.01 g). The fish were reared for 90 days on these diets. The obtained results revealed that yeast fermented PBM significantly changed the final body weight (FBW), weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed intake (FI), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of the fish in a dose dependent manner (P<0.05). Fish fed 20 % fermented PBM showed the highest FBW, WG, SGR, FI, and lowest FCR. However, whole body composition did not vary significantly among fish fed different diets (P>0.05). Dietary yeast fermented PBM at 10 and 20 % level significantly increased the lipase, amylase, and protease activities than the other groups (P<0.05). The anterior, middle, and posterior intestinal villus length was significantly increased in fish fed fermented PBM at 15 and 20 % level when compared to the other groups (P<0.05). The number of goblet cells was significantly increased in the middle section of intestine in fish fed yeast fermented PBM at 20 % level, while in the posterior region of intestine the number of goblet cells was significantly increased in fish fed yeast fermented PBM at 15 and 20 % level (P<0.05). The histomorphology of intestine showed an increased length, branching and density of intestinal villi in fish fed yeast fermented PBM diets. Most of the measured blood parameters showed insignificant (P>0.05) differences except for Hb, RBCs, WBCs, total blood protein, and globulin which were significantly affected by the inclusion of yeast fermented PBM (P<0.05). Lysozyme activity was significantly increased in fish fed yeast fermented PBM at 5, 10, and 15 % level, while the phagocytic activity and phagocytic index were significantly increased at 20 % level when compared to the control groups (P<0.05). It is concluded from this study that inclusion of yeast fermented PBM in the diet of common carp at 15-20% level increased digestive enzyme activities, immune function and growth of the fish.

This study aimed to evaluate the additional of turmeric meal (Curcuma longa Linn.) with different doses in feed to digestion enzyme activities and growth performance of common carp. The turmeric meal doses i.e 0, 1, 2 and 3% were mixed into fish diet. The diet was formulated diet that contain isoprotein as much as 29.51±0.93% and isoenergy 3948.10±68.38 kcal kg-1 diet. Common carp as sample test with initial body weight 2.82±0.04 g were reared in 60×40×35 cm3 aquarium with density of 10 fish/aquaria entire 60 days. Fishes were given diet three times daily at 08:00 am, 12:00 am, and 16:00 pm by at satiation level. Syphonization was performed every day. Water exchange was applied once every 3 days as much as 25% from rearing media volume. Experimental design was set according to com-pletely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The results showed that the turmeric meal with dose 2% could increased amylase and protease activities were 7.012 U mg-1 and 0.032 U mg-1. Turmeric meal with dose 2% also increased daily growth rate of common carp 2.22±0.13%. Therefore, the conclusion of this study was the addition of turmeric meal with dose 2% in the diet could increased digestive enzyme activities amylase, protease and improved growth performance of common carp. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pemanfaatan tepung kunyit (Curcuma longa Linn.) dengan dosis berbeda dalam pakan terhadap aktivitas enzim pencernaan dan kinerja pertumbuhan ikan mas. Tepung kunyit dengan dosis 0, 1, 2, dan 3% dicampurkan ke dalam pakan. Pakan yang digunakan adalah pakan buatan dengan kandungan iso-protein sebesar 29,51±0,93% dan isoenergi 3948,10±68,38 kkal kg-1 pakan. Ikan uji yang digunakan adalah ikan mas dengan bobot sebesar 2,82±0,04 g, dipelihara dalam akuarium berukuran 60x40x35 cm3 dengan padat tebar 10 ekor pa-da setiap akuarium selama 60 hari. Ikan diberi pakan uji dengan frekuensi pemberian pakan sebanyak tiga kali dalam sehari yaitu pada pukul 08.00, 12.00, dan 16.00 WIB secara at satiation. Penyiponan dilakukan setiap hari. Air untuk budi daya diganti setiap tiga hari sekali sebanyak 25% dari volume media pemeliharaan. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembe-rian tepung kunyit dengan dosis 2% meningkatkan aktivitas enzim amilase dan protease yaitu 7,012 U mg-1 dan 0,032 U mg-1. Pemberian tepung kunyit dengan dosis 2% juga meningkatkan laju pertumbuhan harian yaitu 2,22±0,13%. Disimpulkan bahwa pemberian tepung kunyit dosis 2% pada pakan dapat meningkatkan enzim amilase, protease dan kinerja pertumbuhan ikan mas.

AbstractAzolla meal was included in fish feed at different levels (10%, 20%, and 30%) and was fed to genetically-improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) for 90 days. The obtained results demonstrated that the final body weight, weight gain, and specific growth rate decreased significantly in fish fed 30% Azolla (P<0.05), while tilapia fed 10% and 20% did not differ significantly from those of the control (P>0.05). However, the feed conversion ratio increased significantly in fish fed 30% Azolla (P<0.05), while tilapia fed 10% and 20% did not differ significantly from those of the control (P>0.05). The body proximate analysis, amylase, lipase, protease, blood phagocytic index, and phagocytic and lysozyme activity were not affected by the inclusion of Azolla in tilapia diets and remained similar to those of the control group (P>0.05). The villus length of the foregut was not significantly affected by Azolla inclusion in tilapia diets (P>0.05). In the midgut, the villus length significantly (P<0.05) increased in fish fed Azolla at 20% and 30% compared to the control, with no differences from those fed at 10% (P>0.05). The villus length significantly (P<0.05) increased in the hind gut in fish fed Azolla at 30 % compared to the control, with no differences from those fed at 10% and 20% (P>0.05). The mucosal length of the tilapia foregut significantly (P<0.05) increased in fish fed Azolla at 10% compared to the control, with no differences from those fed at 20% and 30% (P>0.05). In the foregut and hindgut, the number of goblet cells significantly increased in fish fed Azolla at 3% compared to the control, with no differences from those fed at 10% and 20% (P>0.05), while in the midgut, the number of goblet cells significantly (P<0.05) increased in fish fed Azolla at 20% and 30% compared to the control, with no differences from those fed at 10% (P>0.05). Feeding tilapia with Azolla resulted in normal hematological and biochemical functions, with insignificant differences for the measured parameters except for the red blood cell count, which significantly (P<0.05) increased in fish fed Azolla at 20% compared to the control, with no differences from those fed at 20% and 30%.

Abstract The aim of this study was to explore the effects and mechanisms of different starvation treatments on the compensatory growth of Acipenser dabryanus. A total of 120 fish (60·532 (sem 0·284) g) were randomly assigned to four groups (fasting 0, 3, 7 or 14 d and then refed for 14 d). During fasting, middle body weight decreased significantly with prolonged starvation. The whole-body and muscle composition, serum biochemical indexes, visceral indexes and digestive enzyme activities had been effected with varying degrees of changes. The growth hormone (GH) level in serum was significantly increased in 14D; however, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) showed the opposite trend. The neuropeptide Y (npy) mRNA level in brain was significantly improved in 7D; peptide YY (pyy) mRNA level in intestine was significantly decreased during fasting. After refeeding, the final body weight, percentage weight gain, specific growth rate, feed intake, feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio showed no difference between 0D and 3D. The changes of whole-body and muscle composition, serum biochemical indexes, visceral indexes and digestive enzyme activities had taken place in varying degrees. GH levels in 3D and 7D were significantly higher than those in the 0D; the IGF-1 content decreased significantly during refeeding. There was no significant difference in npy and pyy mRNA levels. These results indicated that short-term fasting followed by refeeding resulted in full compensation and the physiological and biochemical effects on A. dabryanus were the lowest after 3 d of starvation and 14 d of refeeding. Additionally, compensation in A. dabryanus may be mediated by appetite genes and GH, and the degree of compensation is also affected by the duration of starvation.
