Abstract | ||||
This study provided a preliminary framework for the effects of Origanum vulgare L. essential oil (EO) supplementation on growth performance, serum biochemical parameters as well as liver and kidney function of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) throughout a feeding study of 60 days. A total of 60 O. niloticus with an average body weight of 14.2-15.1 g were split into two groups for the trial (10 fish/aquarium/3 replicate). The first (control) group was fed a basal diet without any supplementation, and the second (Ropadiar) group was fed a basal diet including 2% Ropadiar. The body weight, weight gain, liver enzymes, total protein, albumin, globulin, and creatinine levels were estimated. A significant improvement in body weight, weight gain, liver enzymes, total protein, albumin, creatinine, and globulin levels was seen in the 2% Ropadiar-treated group than in the control group. Thus, the incorporation of dietary oreganum essential oil 2% in the diet of Nile tilapia is recommended to improve growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, as well as liver and kidney function biomarkers. | ||||
