Abstract

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%

Abstract

The increasing use of synthetic antimicrobials has created a situation leading to a pond ecological imbalance and enrichment of multiple multi-resistant pathogenic microorganisms. This study was conducted to investigate the impact of spices and natural preservatives using a mixture of Onion Bulb (OB), Holy Basil (HB) and Turmeric Rhizome (TR) on shelf–life, flesh and microbial quality of smoked Clarias gariepinus during 56 days storage. Spices were added at the point of processing with five treatments of 8 fresh C. gariepinus (1.2-2kg) were distributed into experimental containers; the control (without Onion Bulb, Holy Basil and Turmeric Rhizome), (TR + OB)2, (TR+ HB)3, (OB +HB)4, (TR + OB + HB)5 and the experiment were carried out in triplicates. Clarias gariepinus were smoked in a smoking kiln at 40ºC- 60ºC and 120-150ºC for 6 and 18 hours respectively. Proximate composition, biochemical parameters, organoleptic assessment, and microbial analysis were carried out using standard methods. The result showed that the crude protein of C. gariepinus was higher in the treated groups compared to the control. Also, the result shows that the biochemical parameters, organoleptic assessment and the microbial loads in smoked C. gariepinus were reduced in the treated groups than in the control at 1 day, 28 days and 56 days storage respectively. The results indicated that using onion bulb, holy basil, and turmeric rhizome in combination may be useful in improving the shelf life, consumer acceptability of smoked C. gariepinus and preventing bacteria pathogens in smoked C. gariepinus.Keywords: Catfish, Onion Bulb, Holy Basil, Microbial Loads, Turmeric Rhizome

Abstract

Heavy metals were determined in samples of fish tissues, soil, and water from nine randomly selected fish farms based on production facility (earthen pond) in the Ekiti Central (EC), Ekiti North (EN) and Ekiti South (ES) senatorial districts of Ekiti state. Fresh fish samples were collected and tissues from the dorsal area were used for analysis. Soil samples were collected using a soil auger, air-dried and stored in a sterile and well-labeled polythene bag. The water samples were collected using sterile bottles (2L) and labeled. After digestion of samples, Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Co), Chromium (Ch), Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn) were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS). The levels of Co, Cd and Pb which are disastrous to fish species were observed to be elevated while Zn and Cu were observed to accumulate in the fish tissues. It was revealed that the heavy metals concentration across the districts was higher when compared with recommended standards. This suggests a dire need for intervention in controlling water pollution which is posed by anthropogenic activities in the state. It is recommended that there should be a reduction in the use of chemicals with high concentrations of heavy metals which is a significant source of pollution in the environment.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

High cost of feedstuff especially maize and its major contribution of energy source between man and livestock. The study assessed the effect of yam tuber waste meal on broiler bird performance and as an alternative kitchen garbage waste. Specific objectives determined the growth performances, carcass parameters and cost benefits. The experiment lasted for 8 weeks and was conducted at the Poultry Unit of the Teaching and Research Farm, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike, Abia State, Nigeria. A total of 220day old broiler chicks (mixed sexes) of Agric-tech were selected for the study. The diets consist of Diet 1 = 44% maize and 0% yam tuber waste meal, Diet 2 = 32% maize and 12% yam tuber waste meal, Diet 3 = 22% maize and 22% yam tuber waste meal and Diet 4 = 12% maize and 32% yam tuber waste meal, where palm kernel cake, wheat offal, soybean meal, local fish meal, limestone, vitamin premix, lysine, methionine and salt were used to balance the diets. The feed intake was measured daily, while the weight gain, feed efficiency, efficiency of feed utilization, cost benefits and feed conversion ratio were calculated at the end of the study. The result of the weight gain, the efficiency of feed utilization, feed conversion ratio and average daily weight gain had the same significance level (p0.05) on Diets 3 and 4, respectively, higher than those fed to the other Diets. While the total feed intake and cost benefits analysis showed significance (p0.05) among each other, the average daily feed intake and feed efficiency were not significant (p0.05) among treatments. The dress percentage, dress weight and liveweight were significant (p0.05) across the treatments. Conclusively, using yam tuber waste meal in replacement for maize in broiler diets revealed no adverse effect; and could serve as an alternative for kitchen garbage waste. The study, therefore, recommends that; yam tuber waste meal be included at 22 – 32% in broiler diets without deleterious effects in all parameters studied.
