ABSTRACT
Adloo MN, Soltanian S, Hafeziyeh M, Ghadimi N., Dose-response effect of β-Glucan
supplement on growth, survival and blood parameters in juvenile striped catfish
(Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, Onl J Vet Res., 24 (6):371-382, 2020. Groups of 35
Juvenile striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) each, were fed
in tanks diets supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1 or 2% β-Glucan. Fish were taken
from each tank for determination of serum lysozyme, total protein, glucose,
survival and growth. Compared with controls, we found no significant
differences in growth, survival or glucose values
between any group. However, serum lysozyme was
higher in fish fed 0.5% β-glucan (10.8 ug/ml
serum) compared with controls (8.00 µg/ml serum), and blood protein levels increased in all fish given β-glucan
supplementation.
Keywords: β-Glucan, Pangasianodon
