Effects of dietary onion (Allium cepa) powder on growth, innate immune response and hemato–biochemical parameters of beluga (Huso huso Linnaeus, 1754) juvenile

The present study was aimed at determining the effects of dietary onion powder on growth, innate immune response and hemato–biochemical parameters of beluga juvenile (Huso huso). Basal diets containing onion powder 0 (control), 0.5 and 1% of feed were fed to beluga juvenile. At the end of the experi...

Description
Summary:The present study was aimed at determining the effects of dietary onion powder on growth, innate immune response and hemato–biochemical parameters of beluga juvenile (Huso huso). Basal diets containing onion powder 0 (control), 0.5 and 1% of feed were fed to beluga juvenile. At the end of the experiment, the highest weight gain (WG%) and specific growth rate (SGR) was observed in group fed with 1% onion (P  0.05) about feed conversion ratio (FCR) in treatment groups that fed diets containing various levels of onion powder. After 8 weeks, serum lysozyme activity, superoxide dismutase activity (SOD), respiratory burst activity and serum total immunoglobulin (Ig) showed a significant increase in treatment group with 1% onion powder compared to other groups (P
