Description
Summary: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.
