Abstract

Intensive cultivation of Tilapia with high stock density and continuous artificial feeding will decrease the water quality and increase the growth of pathogenic bacteria. That situation led to the fish stressed so that the fish become the target of bacterial pathogen attacks. Alternatively, the environmental friendly treatment using herbal immunostimulant to solve that problem is required. The herbal in this study used neem leaf (Azadirachta indica A. Juss). The aim of this study was to evaluate ethanol fraction of neem leaf on immunostimulant activity of Oreochromis niloticus. In this study, the extraction method used maceration. Fractionation methods were using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and Column Chromatography (CC). The biological component was analyzed using Phytochemical, FTIR and GC-MS methods. TLC test showed that ethyl acetate: n-hexane (1:1, v/v) result in brightest luminescence colors on the plates of silica gel under UV light (365 nm). The chromatography column from the ethanol extract of neem leaf (A. indica A. Juss) showed that separation of the fraction was done based on the formation of color, which obtained 5 (five) types of fractions. The results of the phytochemical test for the fraction 4 of neem leaf contains two compounds, i.e. flavonoids (+) and triterpenoids (++). The FTIR test showed that fraction 4 of neem leaves contain a class of terpenoid and flavonoid compounds. GCMS test results on fraction 4 of the neem leaves (A. indica A. Juss) obtained the high peak, which has 4 terpenoid compounds, 1 compound of flavonoid, and 1 type of lauric acid. The total leukocyte of the fish test increased after treated with fraction 4 of neem leaf (A. indica A. Juss) compared with control on day 7 after injection, i.e. 25.29 x 104 cells.mL-1.Keywords: fraction, leukocyte, Neem Leaves, Tilapia, Phytochemicals.

Abstract

Medicinal plants as an antimicrobial agent may provide an alternative way to replace the use of antibiotics to control disease agents in aquaculture. Roselle flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) has been used in many sectors as a source of functional food, natural coloring agents as well as antimicrobial agents. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the phytochemical compound in methanolic extract of roselle flower and their antimicrobial activity against Aeromonas hydrophila. The phytochemical composition of roselle flower was evaluated using phytochemical screening and FTIR. While the antimicrobial activity was performed by using the disc diffusion agar and co-culture with A. hydrophila. The results of phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, triterpenoids, and tannins. The results of FTIR revealed that Roselle flower extract had the main phenolic compounds. The result of disc diffusion and co-culture method indicated that the roselle flower extract had antibacterial activity against A. hydrophila. This antibacterial activity depended on the concentration applied.Keywords: antibiotics, Co-culture, Disk diffusion, flavonoid, Hibiscus sp.

Abstract

Aeromonas hydrophila is a type of gram-negative bacteria that can harm humans and major animals that have poikilotherm properties such as fish and shrimp. These bacteria can cause haemorrhages in fish until death and causing fish farming production to failure. The use of medicinal plants has been trusted by people all over the world to overcome various disease problems, one of which is a disease caused by bacteria. Plantago major L. is known that able to inhibit the growth of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The purposes of this study were to identify the extracted compounds contained in Plantago major L., using FTIR and UV-VIS spectrophotometer and to evaluate antibacterial activity against A. hydrophila. The results of this study showed that crude extracts of Plantago major L. contained polar compounds such as phenols, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. The presence of phenols and flavonoids was confirmed by the results of FTIR and UV-VIS. Furthermore, the crude extract of Plantago major L. significantly inhibited the growth of A. hydrophila (P <0.05).Keywords: Antibacterial, Co-culture, Extraction, FTIR, UV-VIS.

Abstract

The limitations of fish in digesting food depend on the presence of enzymes protease, amylase, and lipase that react with substrates in the digestive channel of fish. Supplementation methods can be performed to increase fish growth by adding prebiotics and probiotics to the feed. This study aims to determine the influence of the difference in the length of time fermented prebiotic feed (sweet potato extract) and probiotics (Bacillus megaterium) on the quality of feed. The results of the physical analysis of fish feed showed the color looks brown, fishy smell, texture, and general conditions of feed seemed completely normal. Chemical analysis showed that the proteins were best improved in B3 treatment, with the period of fermentation approximately 72 hours. Biological analysis suggests that the longer the fermentation time taken, the higher the abundance of bacteria obtained.Keywords: B. megaterium, chemistry and biology of fish feed, physical analysis, sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L)
