Fish color brightness is influenced by food intake, but no prior reviews have explored the use of red spinach extract in fish feed to enhance color brightness and promote growth in guppy (Poecilia reticulata). Therefore, this study aims to determine the suitable concentration of red spinach extract Amaranthus tricolor color brightness, growth, and survival of guppy. The experiment followed a completely randomized design with three concentrations of red spinach extract (3%, 4%, and 5%) replicated three times at the UPTD Fish Breeding Center in North Binjai Regency, North Sumatra Province. Furthermore, red spinach extract was mixed with the commercial diet containing 41% crude protein and administered to fish at a rate of 3% of their body weight daily for 40 days. The results showed a significant effect of red spinach extract doses on guppy color brightness (P0.05), but no significant influence on weight gain and fish survival (P0.05). It was also discovered that the average color increase was 2,652 in feed mixed with 5% red spinach extract. Similarly, the highest fish weight gain was observed at the 5% concentration, which did not significantly differ from the other concentrations. Fish survival rates were high, with no significant differences among the treatments. Therefore, it was concluded that the optimal concentration of red spinach extract for enhancing guppy color brightness was 5%

The effects of chlorfenapyr pesticide were investigated on juvenile of Clarias gariepinus. Sub-lethal test was carried out using 5, 7, 9, 11 and 15 mgL-1 of chlorfenapyr pesticide for 96 hours, and peripheral blood was collected through the caudal vein and examined for haematological changes. There was significant reduction (P0.05) in WBC when compared to the control. RBC increase was directly proportional to increase in chlorfenapyr dose and significantly differed from control (p0.05). HGB increased in a dose-dependent manner. MCV values of all treatment groups, except 15 mgL-1, were higher when compared to control. MCH was not significantly different from control. PLT decreased with increase in concentration and was lower for all treatment when compared with control. Results obtained in this study suggest that exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of chlorfenapyr can alter the haematological indices of non-target organisms.

A 10-week feeding trial was carried out to evaluate strain-specific effects of Lactobacillus plantarum on blood profiles of African catfish Clarias gariepinus fingerlings. A catfish diet was formulated and divided into five portions (experimental diets). The first portion served as control (with no probiotic added to it, labeled as NP) while the second portion received 2.5g kg-1 multi-species commercial probiotics (CP). The third, fourth and fifth portions were the experimental diets that contained 2×109cfu/g of L. plantarum strains of ascension numbers LC333558, LC333559 and LC333560, and labeled as LP58, LP59 and LP60, respectively. Fifteen apparently healthy C gariepinus fingerlings (4.86±0.59g) were stocked in an experimental tank of 70 litres capacity, while the experimental feed was fed to the fish in triplicate tanks. Similar rearing conditions were maintained in all experimental tanks. The results showed significant (p0.05) difference between the fish fed control diet and probiotics supplementation diets in some of the haematological parameters examined. Probiotics supplementations did not affect total and differential leukocytes among different experimental groups. Except for RBC counts, fish groups fed with strains LB59 and LB60 had similar effects and appeared to have better haematological values than groups fed with LB58. Strains-specific effect of L. planatrum was also observed in creatinine levels among the experimental groups. Hence, it can be concluded that strains of L. plantarum affected some haematological parameters of C. gariepinus fingerlings positively, while dietary supplementation of L. plantarum LC333559 strain could be employed to improve haematological parameters of C. gariepinus fingerlings.

Length-weight relationship and condition factor of Synodontics omias (Cuvier, 1816) was studied between June to November 2020 in River Komadougou, Northeast, Nigeria. A total of 350 fish species were collected from artisanal fishermen at selected landing sites within the study area. The morphometric and meristic characteristics examined varies whereas some meristic features such as pelvic and dorsal fin spine had a constant value of 1 each. The mean condition factor shows no significant difference (P 0.05) throughout the sampling period. A linear relationship was established W = -0.82L1.91 and significant at P 0.01 with b value indicating a negative allometric growth pattern. The correlation coefficient (r2 = 0.7904) indicated that LWR model is reliable. This study provides baselines on length-weight relationship and condition factor of Synodontics omias in River Komadougou, thus further research should be encouraged on the water body for sustainable utilization, decision making and policy formulation.

Fish health and the aquatic ecosystem are strongly interwoven and interrelated. The aquatic ecosystem receives a range of anthropogenic chemicals which have toxicological or lethal health effects on the aquatic animals. The aim of this study was to determine the level of induced mutation and genomic stability of different sub-lethal doses (25%, 50% and 75% LC50) of heavy metal [Nickel (Ni), Mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb)and Zinc (Zn)] in Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) andOreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) using RAPD-PCR technology over a period of 21 days. Four highly polymorphic RAPD markers were evaluated on isolated DNA from both heavy metal exposed fishes and control fishes after exposure. Observation of RAPD profiles in C. gariepinus revealed more damaging effect as sub lethal doses increased with zinc (a + b = 44 bands) mercury (a + b = 41 bands) nickel (a + b = 37 bands) lead (a + b = 35 bands) than with nickel (a + b = 37 bands) zinc (a + b = 34 bands) lead (a + b = 32 bands) mercury (a + b = 31 bands) for O. niloticus when compare to the control groups. Although, the genomic stability template decreased sub lethal heavy metal doses, higher stability was observed in O. niloticus (GTSPb = 26.32% GTSHg = 18.42% GTSZn = 10.53% GTSNi = 2.63%) than in C. gariepinus (GTSPb = 5.41% GTSNi = 0.0% GTSHg = -10.81% GTSZn = -18.92%). The results obtained showed differential variation in heavy metal induced genetic mutation and genomic stabilty in C. gariepinus and O. niloticus. These observable differences might be due to the physiological structure of the fish species evaluated. This study also confirms that RAPD–PCR technology is a useful tools in detecting the genotoxic effect of heavy metals in aquatic organisms but due to low reproducibility of RAPD results, it is recommended that this technology should be used along with other molecular techniques in fish genotoxicity studies.Keywords: Heavy metals, Induced, Genotoxicity, Fish, RAPD-PCR Technique

Sorghum bicolor is known for its multiple uses and is grown for human grain and livestock feed. The study aimed at assessing the effects of incorporating Lactic Acid bacteria (LAB) on the ensiling properties of sorghum bicolor and an antinutritional factor (ANF) called phytate. Dry matter, pH, ash, crude protein, crude fiber, carbohydrates, and phytate were measured as indices of the grain ferment value from January to August. A feed nutrient quality evaluation was conducted with 3 treatments and having 4 replications. The test was conducted using a completely random design. Laboratory analysis of the variables was done on day 6 of the experiment. Results showed that treating sorghum with LAB significantly (P0.05) affected the nitrogen-free extracts, pH, and phytate but did not however affect the dry matter, crude fiber, crude protein, and ash content (P0.05). There was a significant (p0.05) decrease in phytate and nitrogen-free extracts for the LAB-treated sorghum as compared to non-LAB-treated sorghum. Ash content was significantly lower (p0.05) in LAB-treated sorghum and interestingly higher in non-LAB-treated sorghum. The study showed that treating sorghum with LAB significantly reduces phytate levels in feed and has little effect on the nutrient status of the feed.Keywords: Sorghum, Proximate, Phytate, LAB-treated

Antibiotics raise an issue concerning the development of antibiotic resistance of some pathogenic bacteria. The use of probiotics and Avian IgY in layer pullet farming is a better way of protecting against pathogenic bacteria and increasing production performance. Supplementation of Avian IgY antibodies and probiotics(Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus faecium, Bifido bacterium longghum, Bacillus thermophilum) were conducted on 5,724 healthy layer pullets to determine its effect on their growth and laying performance. The supplement was in powder form with a dosage of 100 mg per liter of water for 6 hours. The effect of the supplementation was evaluated by measuring production parameters on growth and laying performance of the layer pullets; there were 3 treatment groups, the control group, Treatment 2 which received 5 days initial supplementation for the first week and then twice every week for 9 weeks and Treatment 3 which received 5 days initial supplementation for the first week and then twice every 2 weeks for 9 weeks. Results showed that the supplementation had significant effects in the age in days when 50% of the total population per treatment laid their first eggs, average number of eggs produced, % Hen day production, % Hen house production, total weight of eggs, and feed conversion efficiency. It also showed that the supplementation is economical and yielded higher profit. On the other hand, the supplementation had no significant effect on the average body weight and mortality count of the layer pullets. The supplementation of Avian IgY antibodies and probiotics in water soluble powder via drinking water with 5 days initial supplementation of Avian IgY antibodies and probiotics for the first week; then twice every 2 weeks for 9 weeks has the greatest effects to increase the production performance and profitability of layers.Keywords: Avian IgY antibodies, Growth performance, Laying performance, Layer pullets, Probiotics

Nutrient utilization is determined by absorbable and digestible nutrients in fish feeds. The aim of the experiment was to investigate the effects of unprocessed dried leaves of Telfairia occidentalis (UDLTO) and Mucuna utilis (UDLMU) on histology and growth of C. gariepinus. Sixteen weeks feeding trial experiment was conducted using two hundred and twenty-five Clarias gariepinus with a mean weight 4.16±0.09g. Fish meal was replaced with 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% levels of UDLMU and UDLTO. Growth parameters and histological examinations were carried out according to standard procedures. Mean Weight Gain (MWG) of 0% (15.8g) was significantly higher P0.05 compared to other treatments. Specific Growth Rate (SGR) of 0% (0.64) varied significantly P0.05 than other levels of inclusions. Kidneys of fish fed 25 and 50% graded levels showed patchy vacuolar degeneration of the renal tubules. Gills of fish fed 75 and 100% graded levels showed diffuse capillaries and moderate congestion of lamellar in the gills. Tissue examinations of fish fed 50, 75 and 100% graded levels exhibited clinical signs of moderate atrophy and vacuolation of hepatocytes and diffuse hepatocellular swelling and degeneration in the liver. Histological investigations revealed fragmentation and atrophy of muscle fibre in fish fed 75% graded level. There was moderate atrophy of villi of the intestine of fish fed 100% graded level. It is apparent that the increased levels of UDLMU and UDLTO could not support good growth as presumed due to the presence of anti-nutritional factors in the leaves.Keywords: Nutrient utilization, Fish meal, Inclusions, standard procedures, Clinical signs

It is apparent that the increased levels of UDLMU and UDLTO could not support good growth as presumed due to the presence of anti-nutritional factors in the leaves.Keywords: Nutrient utilization, Fish meal, Inclusions, standard procedures, Clinical signs","PeriodicalId":52680,"journal":{"name":"Aceh Journal of Animal Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43591276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
This study was in the scientific research field for the Babylon Provence period from 3/1/2018 to 20/4/2018 (105 days) to know the effect of adding different levels of onion oil and seeds to Iraqi local goose rations on some antioxidants and levels of sex hormones, such as it was used in This study: 75 sexually mature female geese, and at the beginning of the production stage, were divided into five treatments, and for each treatment 15 females divided into three replicates / each replicate had 5 females. The experimental treatments were as follows: The first treatment (T1) was a control treatment without any addition, the second treatment (T2) was added to onion seed powder at an amount of 1.5 gm per kg of feed, the third treatment (T3) was added to onion seed powder at an amount of 3 gm per kg of feed, The fourth treatment (T4) was added to onion seed oil at an average of 0.10 ml per kg of feed, while the fifth treatment (T5) was added to it onion seed oil at an average of 0.20 ml per kg of feed and these percentages were added from the beginning of the experiment until the end of the experiment period. Blood was drawn from the experimental birds from the jugular vein weekly for the purpose of measuring the concentrations of MDA, GSH-px, SOD and the level of the hormones Progesterone and Estrogen and then according to an average every three weeks to present the results of the study on the basis of five periods of length, each of 21 days, the results of the study indicated a decrease Significant in the oxidative enzyme activity understudy in the addition treatments compared to the control treatment, also the sex hormones took the same curve of significant improvement of the additional treatments compared to the control treatment.Keywords: Antioxidants; Local goose; Onion oil; Onion seeds; Sex hormones

High exploration activity is feared to have an impact to mackerel populations. A sustainable management approach should be taken to provide information about the status of mackerel populations. Study of mackerel population status can be carried out through genetic information. The DNA of the fish samples were collected at traditional fish markets (Morotai, Bacan and Ternate). Laboratory works such as extraction, amplification, electrophoresis and DNA sequencing were analysis at the Indonesian Biodiversity Laboratory (Bionesia). The molecular characteristics of Rastrelliger kanagurta were 374 base pairs (bp). The composition of nucleotides showed the similarity of frequencies between species. Phylogenetic relationship of R. kanagurta in North Maluku Sea suggested that there was any differentiation. The genetic diversity of R. kanagurta was high with a total number of haplotypes and diverse nucleotide diversity. The minimum spawning networks (MSN) found 5 haplotype networks from a total of 12 samples. Morphological measurements of standard length, head height, body width, pectoral fin length and tail were found to have variable values. The length of the weight of the fish is obtained of b = 3, indicating that the growth pattern was isometric or weight gain was equivalent to the growth of the fish length.Keywords: Biodiversity, conservation, ecology, morphology, species
