Rohu (Labeo rohita) fingerlings, were fed de-oiled Jatropha curcas seed meal (DJSM) supplemented diets for 60 days and the effectiveness, if any, on the growth was evaluated. Nine isonitrogenous (35 % crude protein) and isocaloric (4.0 kcal g?1) diets were formulated of which one was reference diet (RD, fishmeal based control diet) and the other eight were experimental diets prepared by incorporating raw (D1–D4) and fermented (D5–D8) DJSM at 10, 20, 30 and 40 % levels by weight, respectively. Autoclaved DJSM was processed through solid state fermentation (SSF) for 15 days at 37 ± 1 °C by an exo-enzyme producing bacterium, Bacillus cereus Lr.H.23 isolated from the hindgut of rohu, L. rohita. Processing through SSF caused decrease in the contents of crude fibre and anti-nutritional factors, but increase in the levels of free amino acids and free fatty acids. In terms of growth performance, feed utilization efficiency and apparent protein digestibility, fish fed diet D7 containing 30 % fermented DJSM showed the best performance, which differed significantly (P < 0.05) from that of the fish fed diets containing raw DJSM. The results indicated that an inclusion level up to 30 % fermented DJSM replacing 15 % FM in the practical diet for rohu fingerlings can be proposed when compared to the RD. However, further experiments are required to recommend the ingredient for use in industry.  相似文献

Effect of endotoxin on the immunity of Indian major carp, Labeo rohita   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Endotoxin, a lipopolysaccharide component of outer cell wall membrane of the Gram-negative bacteria is a factor responsible for a number of biological effects including immunostimulatory activities in different animal species including fish. In this study, L. rohita yearlings of weight ranging from 80 to 100g were injected intraperitoneally with 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 EU/fish dose of endotoxin to find out its effect on the immunity. The L. rohita yearlings were found to resist the endotoxin dose up to 20 EU/fish and at the lower doses, i.e., at 1 and 2 EU/fish; it acted as an immune potentiator. Different serum and immune parameters like protein, globulin, lysozyme, respiratory burst activity, myeloperoxidase activity, natural agglutination titre were found to be significantly high (p<0.01) at a dose of 1 EU/fish. While at 10 and 20 EU/fish, most of these parameters were lower thereby indicating the immuno-suppressive nature of the endotoxin at these higher doses.  相似文献

Two yolk proteins (YP1 and YP2) from the ovaries of Indian major carp, Labeo rohita were isolated by gel filtration and partially characterized by the use of hydroxyapatite ultrogel column in conjunction with native PAGE. On native PAGE YP1 gave a single protein band, whereas YP2 of gel filtration revealed the contamination of YP1, which was removed by adsorption chromatography on hydroxyapatite ultrogel and then the YP2 was the purified one as judged by electrophoresis. Both YP1 and YP2 also stained for lipid and contained alkalilabile phosphorus. Therefore, both yolk proteins were lipophosphoprotein. The molecular weights of YP1 and YP2 were 620 kDa and 225 kDa respectively as determined by gel filtration on Sepharose 4B. When YP1 and YP2 were compared in relation to some physicochemical characteristics with yolk proteins of other oviparous vertebrates including fish, they were lipovitellin like. Antiserum to YP2 crossreacted with YP2 and vitellogenin suggesting that YP2 was the cleaved product of vitellogenin. Anti-YP2 antiserum was not crossreacted with native YP1, whereas reduced and/or denatured YP1 was crossreacted indicating the presence of antigenic determinants in the inner core region of YP1 polypeptide.  相似文献

The immunosuppressive effects of bath exposure to a sub lethal concentration of the synthetic pyrethroid alpha-permethrin (3.05 x 10(-4) mg l(-1)) in the Indian Major carp, Labeo rohita was studied after 45 days' exposure. In some groups, the effects of alpha-permethrin on non-specific defences and serum enzymes of carp were investigated after challenge with Aeromonas hydrophila. Several nonspecific immune responses and serum enzymes were reduced after exposure of alpha-permethrin. Bactericidal activity of rohu serum was reduced significantly in pesticide and bacteria treated fish. The Glutamic Oxaloacetate Transaminase (GOT) and Glutamic Pyruvate Transaminase (GPT) activity were increased in immunosuppressed fish. Blood glucose level was elevated significantly and Hb% was reduced significantly in pesticide and bacteria treated fishes as compared to the negative control.  相似文献

Genes coding for type-I interferon (I-IFN) has been cloned from Labeo rohita, a commercially important and widely cultured fish in India and South East Asia. In the present study, full-length gene of I-IFN was amplified and sequenced. The sequence analysis revealed that I-IFN consists of 1,786 bp genomic sequence with four introns and five exons and an ORF of 546 bp encoding for a putative protein of 181 amino acids. The mature protein has a molecular weight of 18.97 kDa and consists of 158 amino acids and a signal peptide of 23 amino acids at the N terminus. The sequence carries I-IFN signature motif, one glycosylation site, two conserved cystine amino acids and other conserved amino acids. The sequence showed highest similarity to that of Cyprinus carpio (84 %). In silico analysis of the rohu I-IFN protein was done using various bioinformatic tools. The constitutive expression of I-IFN gene was found to be more in spleen compared to gill and kidney in real time PCR assay. Expression of I-IFN increased about 20-fold in cultured kidney cell 2 h after induction with poly I:C and showed maximum expression at 8 h post-induction.  相似文献

Dietary valine requirement of Indian major carp, Labeo rohita Hamilton, fry (3.0 ± 0.02 cm, 0.16 ± 0.03 g) was determined using dose‐response method. Fishes were fed six isonitrogenous [40% crude protein (CP)] and isocaloric (4.28 kcal g?1, Gross Energy (GE)) amino acid test diets containing casein, gelatin, and l ‐crystalline amino acids with graded levels of valine (0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, and 2.00% dry diet) at 5% body weight for 6 weeks in triplicate groups twice a day at 07.00 and 17.30 hours. Live weight gain (158.52%), feed conversion ratio (FCR, 1.70), specific growth rate (SGR, 2.25), and protein efficiency ratio (PER, 1.46) were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in fish fed a diet containing 1.5% of the dietary valine (diet IV). Second‐degree polynomial regression analysis of the live weight gain and FCR data indicated the dietary valine requirement at 1.63 and 1.5% of the dry diet, corresponding to 4.0 and 3.75% of dietary protein. Maximum carcass protein, minimum moisture, and fat were recorded at 1.5% of the dietary valine level, except carcass ash, which remained constant throughout the treatments. No mortality was observed during the entire length of the feeding trial. On the basis of FCR and protein deposition data, it is recommended that dietary valine inclusion at 1.5% of dry diet, corresponding to 3.75% of dietary protein, is optimal for the growth of L. rohita fry.  相似文献

The effect of exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of cypermethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid pesticide, on biochemical parameters of muscle, blood and enzyme activities in brain, liver and kidney of the Indian major carp, Labeo rohita was studied. The sub-lethal exposure studies were done for up to 45 days at 1/10 and 1/50 of 96 h LC(50) of cypermethrin. The 96 h LC(50) was found to be 0.139 ppm. RNA levels decreased while DNA levels were elevated. Acid phosphatase was unchanged while alkaline phosphatase was depleted. Brain acetylcholinesterase activity was decreased significantly (P<0.05) over a period of 45 days at both cypermethrin concentrations. Lactate dehydrogenase activity in brain and liver was elevated, but inhibited in kidney. Succinate dehydrogenase and ATPase activities were depleted in brain, kidney and liver. There was a decrease in serum protein level over control at both concentrations of the pyrethroid. Blood glucose level and total leucocytes were elevated compared with controls at either concentration from day 15 to day 45. Haemoglobin percentage and total erythrocytes decreased in both sub-lethal concentrations. Extracts of the herb Datura stramonium were effective in countering the toxicity of this pesticide. Our data suggest that sub-lethal exposure of cypermethrin alters the biochemical, haematological parameters and enzymes of organs tissue and exert stress on the fish. Plant extracts may be useful in counteracting some of these effects.  相似文献

Three family lines of fast growing transgenic rohu Labeo rohita (rohu) were generated by electroporated-sperm-mediated transfer of the vectors harboring CMV promoter or grass carp beta-actin promoter fused to endogenous rohu GH (rGH) cDNA. The gene transfer efficiency was 25%. The transgenic rohu (family line 1) with CMV promoter showed a growth enhancement of four times normal size, whereas those (family lines 2 and 3) generated with beta-actin promoter grew 4.5 and 5.8 times faster than their respective control siblings. Southern analysis confirmed the transgene extrachromosomal (Te) persistence until the 60th week in family 1. The individuals of family lines 2 and 3, however, showed integration (Ti), as well as persistence as extrachromosomal copies (Te) until the age of 30 weeks. Mosaicism of the transgene was shown at the levels of its presence and expression. The ectopic expression of rGH mRNA was confirmed by RT-PCR. Feeding experiments revealed that the transgenic rohu ate food at a lower rate but grew more efficiently than their control siblings.  相似文献

The culture conditions for extracellular production of phytase by two strains of Bacillus licheniformis (LF1 and LH1) isolated from the proximal and distal intestine of rohu (Labeo rohita) were optimized to obtain maximum level of phytase. Both the strains were cultured TSA broth for 24 h at 37 ± 2 °C, when average viable count of 9.75 × 10cells ml?1 culture broth was obtained. This was used as the inoculum for the production medium. Sesame (Sesamum indicum) oilseed meal was used as the source of phytic acid (substrate). The effects of moisture, pH, temperature, fermentation period, inoculum size, different nitrogen sources, vitamins and surfactants on phytase production by these two strains were evaluated. Phytase yield was highest (1.87 U in LF1 and 1.57 U in LH1) in solid-state fermentation. Enzyme production in both the isolates increased in an optimum pH range of 5.5–6.5. Minimum phytase production was observed at 50 °C, while maximum production was obtained at 40 °C. To standardize the fermentation period for phytase production, production rate was measured at 12-h intervals up to 120 h. Enzyme production increased for 72 h of fermentation in both strains, and decreased thereafter. The enzyme production increased with increased inoculum size up to 3.0 percentage points for the strain LF1 and up to 2.0 % for the strains LH1. Ammonium sulphate as the nitrogen source was most effective in LF1, while beef extract proved useful to maximize enzyme production by LH1.  相似文献

We investigated genotoxicity and oxidative stress in the gills of Labeo rohita exposed to 33.6, 67.1, and 100.6 mg L–1of cadmium chloride at 96 h. Genotoxicity was assessed using single cell gel electrophoresis whereas oxidative stress was monitored through lipid peroxidation induction and antioxidant response parameters, namely reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase, glutathione-S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase (CAT) activities. Significant (p < .05) effect of both concentration and time of exposure was observed on the extent of DNA damage in treated fish. Similarly, malondialdehyde content, level of GSH, and activities of antioxidant enzymes were significantly elevated in treated groups, except CAT. The increased DNA damage and lipid peroxidation (LPO) content along with fluctuation in antioxidant defense system in fish indicated the interaction of cadmium (Cd) with DNA repair processes and production of reactive oxygen species. Thus, Cd is liable for induction of LPO, alteration of antioxidant defenses, and DNA damage in gills of L. rohita.  相似文献

Six isonitrogenous (35% crude protein) experimental diets were formulated with raw and soaked de-oiled copra meal substituted for fish meal in the diet at 20, 30 and 40% levels by weight. The tannin content of raw de-oiled copra meal was reduced from 2.4 to 0.9% by soaking it in water for 16 h at room temperature. The response of rohu, Labeo rohita (Hamilton), fingerlings fed these diets for 80 days was compared with fish fed a fish meal-based control diet. On the basis of growth response, food conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio, the 30% soaked copra meal diet resulted in the best fish performance (P < 0.01). The growth response of the fish was significantly (P < 0.01) affected by both type and inclusion level of the oilseed meal. The growth of fish declined with the increasing level of inclusion of copra meal, irrespective of the type of meal used. The apparent protein digestibilities (APDs) for the raw copra meal were lower at all levels of inclusion in comparison with those for the soaked meals. The highest amount of carcass protein was recorded in the fish fed the diet containing 30% soaked copra meal. The results showed that de-oiled copra meal can be incorporated into carp diets up to 20% in the raw condition and up to 30% in the treated condition without any deleterious effects on growth performance of Labeo rohita fingerlings.  相似文献

A 60 days experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary gelatinized (G) and non-gelatinized (NG) starch on immunomodulation of Labeo rohita juveniles. Two hundred and thirty four juveniles (av. wt. 2.53+/-0.04) were randomly distributed in six treatment groups with each of three replicates. Six semi-purified diets containing NG and G corn starch, each at six levels of inclusion (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100) were prepared viz., T(1) (100% NG, 0% G starch), T(2) (80% NG, 20% G starch), T(3) (60% NG, 40% G starch), T(4) (40% NG, 60% G starch), T(5) (20% NG, 80% G starch) and T(6) (0% NG, 100% G starch). After a feeding period of 60 days, the juveniles were challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila to study their immunomodulation due to feeding of G and NG starch. RBC and haemoglobin content were significantly (P<0.05) reduced due to bacterial challenge, but dietary starch (G/NG starch) had no effect on it. G:NG starch ratio in the feed had significant effect on total leukocyte count during pre- and post-challenge periods. The leukocyte count concomitantly increased with the increased level of G starch in the diet. Highest albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio was recorded in T6 group (100% G starch) and lowest in T1 group (100% NG starch) group followed by T2 group both in pre- and post-challenge periods. NBT, lysozyme activity, total protein and globulin content were highest in T2 group (80% NG, 20% G starch) both in pre- and post-challenge periods. After challenge with A. hydrophila, the highest survival was recorded in T2 group, whereas lowest survival was recorded in T6 group. Conclusively high level of G starch was found to be immunosuppressive in Labeo rohita juveniles and NG:G starch ratio of 80:20 seems to be optimum for promoting growth and protecting immunity in L. rohita juveniles.  相似文献

The haematology of Labeo umbratus (Smith) was investigated after exposure to four toxicants under controlled static conditions. Statistically significant changes exist between the values of parameters of experimental and control fish. The concentration of haemoglobin fractions changes with different toxicants. Electrophoretograms of plasma proteins showed changing patterns as well as a decrease in fraction numbers.  相似文献
