Dietary Macrogard reduces Aeromonas hydrophila mortality in tench (Tinca tinca) through the activation of cellular and humoral defence mechanisms

Influence of beta-1.3/1.6-glucan (Macrogard) on the innate immunity and protection against Aeromonas hydrophila in tench ( Tinca tinca (L.)) was assessed. Macrogard was fed at doses of 0, 0.5, 1 and 2 g kg −1 of pellets for 1 month. The blood, spleen and head kidney from 10 fish of each group were s...

Description
Summary:Influence of beta-1.3/1.6-glucan (Macrogard) on the innate immunity and protection against Aeromonas hydrophila in tench ( Tinca tinca (L.)) was assessed. Macrogard was fed at doses of 0, 0.5, 1 and 2 g kg −1 of pellets for 1 month. The blood, spleen and head kidney from 10 fish of each group were separated and analysed for immunity parameters. Twenty tench from each group were infected with A. hydrophila . Macrogard at doses 1 and 2 g kg −1 of feed significantly ( P
