Abstract

This experiment aimed to study the effect of dietary supplement of a new variety Sumac fruit powder (Rhus coriaria var. zebaria) with different concentrations on growth performance, serum biochemistry and blood parameters of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) juveniles. A total of 128 fish juveniles with initial weight (39.38± 0.04 g) stocked randomly distributed into 16 tanks (70 L) at a density of 8 fish for each tank. Fish in 16 tanks were treated with experimental diets at three different concentrations (SFP 0.3%, SFP 0.6%, SFP 0.9%) for 10 weeks. Supplementation SFP 0.3% to the diet significantly (P <0.05) improved most of the studied growth performance traits like weight gain, feed conversion efficiency, protein efficiency ratio, specific growth rate (SGR %) and final body weight with comparing to other groups. However, the lowest value of these parameters recorded in control group. The significant increases in WBC, lymphocytes and monocytes counts observed in SFP 0.3% group (P <0.05). And dietary SFP 0.6% supplementation, significantly (P < 0.05) increased RBC and Hemoglobin. The SFP 0.3% and SFP 0.6% diet received fish, resulted significant (P <0.05) decreases in glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
