Abstract
The present work was done to test the effect of (A. sativum Linn.) garlic bulb extracts on the immunological, enzymological, biochemical and growth parameters of (C. mrigala Ham.) Indian major carp fingerlings. Five experimental diets namely control, petroleum ether, toluene, ethyl acetate and methanol extract mixed feeds (0.10 %) were prepared and the fishes were fed with them for two months. The results indicated that the oral administration of the extracts led to desirablechanges in immunological (superoxide anion production, bactericidal activityand lysozyme activity), enzymological[aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase and alkaline phosphatise], biochemical (blood glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, cholesterol and triglycerides)and growth (weight gain%, specific growth rate (SGR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) parameters. Based on the findings, it could be derived that A. sativum bulb extracts prepared using different solvents; especially the 0.10 %/kg supplemented feed additives enhance the immunity and growth of Indian major carp fingerlings.
