Abstract:

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of propolis and pollen extract on biochemical and haematological parameters of Onchorhynchus  mykiss. One hundred and eighty healthy fish, O. mykiss (mean weight 20.57±4.48 g) were used for growth performance and haematological assays. They were randomly selected, and distributed among fifteen 600-L fiberglass tanks as three treatments (1% Pollen, 1% Proplils, 0.5% Pollen + 0.5% Proplils as groups 1-3, respectively), negative control as group 4 in triplicates at density of 30 fish each. After 8 weeks of the experiment, which the fish fed supplemented diets, final weight of all treatments showed no significant difference (p> 0.05) as well as WG and DGI. Definitely, all the treatments of the mentioned criteria showed a significant increase (p< 0.05) compared to control group. On the other hand, FCR showed a significance difference (p= 0.00) among the treatments and control so that its value for the group 3 was the minimum one (1.84±0.05) and followed by group 2 (2.36±0.03). Some criteria containing Hb, RBC, Hct and WBC showed a remarkable increase (p< 0.05) in group 3 compared to other groups while MCV and MCH was significantly lower in group 3 (p< 0.05).

The use of encapsulated oil in dietary on growth factors, proximate compositions and frozen storage of rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss)

This study was performed in order to survey of effect of encapsulated oil in rain bow trout dietary on some growth factors and proximate compositions. Fish in average weight, 20 ± 1.5 g, was fed daily at 2.5 percent of biomass for 2 months. Rainbow trout was weighed every 2 weeks. At the end of experiment growth factors and proximate composition were studied. The result showed that the diets wh...

Persian bee propolis and pollen extracts enhanced the non-specific immune response of rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) and resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila

The effect of Persian bee propolis and pollen extracts on innate immune response of rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) was investigated. Fish were fed diets containing 1% Pollen, 1% propolis and combination of the two immune-stimulants (0.5% Pollen and 0.5% propolis) as treatment groups and fed without the two immune-stimulants as positive and negative control groups for 4 weeks. The effects ...

Growth performance and blood indices of juvenile Rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) fed diets containing Sargassum cristaefolium and Gracilaria pygmaea extracts

this experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of supplementing two macroalgae Sargassum cristaefolium and Gracilaria pygmaea extracts in feed on some growth indices, hematology and blood constituents of juvenile rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss). Rainbow trout were randomly divided into four groups: a control group was fed with basal diet, and three treated groups fed with basal...
