EFFICACY OF HERBAL IMMUNOSTIMULANT ON Labeo rohita

By Kesavan Kalpanadevi, AMBROSE PAULRAJ, Narasimman Manickam

The aquatic environment comprises various intricate ecosystems that interact with one another, both living and non-living. These ecosystems' physical and chemical processes can influence biological activity and the effects of exogenous substances, like chemicals, on organisms. The aquaculture industry has experienced tremendous expansion over the past three decades, posing new and difficult technological, social, environmental and resource allocation concerns. In addition to having sufficient nutritional effects, a probiotic diet is considered functional if it has been shown to positively affect one or more specific bodily functions in a way that is related to either a decreased risk of disease or a higher state of health and well-being. Aquaculture uses immunostimulants as a disease-controlling agent. They increased bactericidal activities and improved the function of phagocytic cells. Additionally, they support and enhance fish lysozyme and antibody responses. Lastly, the current study found that the fish treated with probiotics improved in weight and length, protein content, and gut microbiota.
