Dietary inclusion of Withania somnifera and Asparagus racemosus induces growth, activities of digestive enzyme, and transcriptional modulation of MyoD, MyoG, Myf5, and MRF4 genes in fish, Channa punctatus

The present study explores growth potential of two medicinal herbs, Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha or 'A') and Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari or 'S') after their dietary inclusion in fish, Channa punctatus (13.5 ± 2 g; 11.5 ± 1 cm). Three hundred well acclimatized fishes were di...

Description
Summary:The present study explores growth potential of two medicinal herbs, Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha or 'A') and Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari or 'S') after their dietary inclusion in fish, Channa punctatus (13.5 ± 2 g; 11.5 ± 1 cm). Three hundred well acclimatized fishes were distributed into 10 groups- C (Control), S1, S2, S3, A1, A2, A3, AS1, AS2, and AS3, each having 10 specimens. Fish were fed with experimental diet, individually and in combination for a 60 days of feeding trial. The study was performed in triplicates. Growth indices- weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed intake (FI) and condition factor (CF), after 30 and 60 days were found significantly (p
