Diets including l-carnitine and varying oil sources regulate liver and testes fatty acids profile and interfere with sperm production in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen)

This study aimed to evaluate seminal and sperm production, growth, health, and lipid metabolism of male silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) fed diets containing l-carnitine and varying lipid sources. Herein, males and females (167.33 ± 9.24 g) were both fed across 223 d with eight (08) isoproteic (282 g...

Description
Summary:This study aimed to evaluate seminal and sperm production, growth, health, and lipid metabolism of male silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) fed diets containing l-carnitine and varying lipid sources. Herein, males and females (167.33 ± 9.24 g) were both fed across 223 d with eight (08) isoproteic (282 g of digestible protein kg of ration −1) and isoenergetic (13.34 MJ of digestible energy kg of ration −1) diets, containing 0.00, 0.15, 0.45, and 0.75 g l-carnitine kg −1 of feed, soybean, and marine fish oils. Feeding males with diets containing l-carnitine and different oils resulted in an interactive effect (p
