Effects Of Dietary Β-(1,3)(1,6)-D-Glucan Supplementation On Growth Performance, Intestinal Morphology And Haemato-Immunological Profile Of Mirror Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L.)., H. Kühlwein, D. L. Merrifield, M. D. Rawling, A. D. Foey, S. J. Davies Jan 2014

Effects Of Dietary Β-(1,3)(1,6)-D-Glucan Supplementation On Growth Performance, Intestinal Morphology And Haemato-Immunological Profile Of Mirror Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L.)., H. Kühlwein, D. L. Merrifield, M. D. Rawling, A. D. Foey, S. J. Davies

In recent years, aquaculture research has focused on probiotics, prebiotics, and β-glucans, in order to improve health status and growth performance. Information regarding the effects of β-glucan on growth performance and intestinal immunity of mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) is scarce. An experiment was therefore conducted to investigate the effects of a yeast β-glucan preparation (MacroGard(®) ) on growth performance, intestinal morphology and haemato-immunological indices of mirror carp. Carp (initial weight 11.1 ± 0.0 g) were fed highly purified diets supplemented with 0% (control), 0.1%, 1% or 2% MacroGard(®) for 8 weeks. Fish fed diets containing 1% and 2% MacroGard(®) …

AbstractParasites play key ecological and evolutionary roles through the costs they impose on their host. In wild populations, the effect of parasitism is likely to vary considerably with environmental conditions, which may affect the availability of resources to hosts for defense. However, the interaction between parasitism and prevailing conditions is rarely quantified. In addition to environmental variation acting on hosts, individuals are likely to vary in their response to parasitism, and the combined effect of both may increase heterogeneity in host responses. Offspring hierarchies, established by parents in response to uncertain rearing conditions, may be an important source of variation …
