Effect of Supplementing Safed Musli Chlorophytum Borivilianum Root Powder on Reproductive and Haematological Parameters of Jayanti Rohu Labeo Rohita

Abstract

newlineThe present study entitled Effect of supplementing Safed Musli (Chlorophytum newlineborivilianum) root powder on reproductive and haematological parameters of Jayanti rohu, newline(Labeo rohita) was performed in earthen ponds at Instructional Fish Farm, COF, G.B. newlinePant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. Four hundred newlineJayanti rohu specimen of healthy and disease free male and female brooders were stocked newlinein 4 earthen ponds with 100 specimens in each treatment and, the ratio of male and female newlineJayanti rohu 60:40, experiment was conducted from Feb. to August, 2021. Four protein newlinerich diet combinations were arranged with different level of inclusion Safed Musli newline(Chlorophytum borivilianum) root powder. Diet C (Control) has no supplementation of newlineSafed Musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) powder in feed, whereas in diets Cb1, Cb2, Cb3 newlinehad 0.25 g/kg, 0.5g/kg and 0.75g/kg addition of Safed Musli of the feed, correspondingly. newlineBased on the foregoing conclusions, it is clear that safed musli root powder at 0.5 newlineg/kg improves the viability, motility, and survival of Jayanti rohu. The addition of safed newlinemusli root powder to feed at a rate of 0.5 g/kg of feed appears to improve the newlineimmunological state of Jayanti rohu brood stock. Safed musli root powder has potential newlinereproductive and immunostimulatory properties that can be used in aquaculture. The newlineresults exposed that inclusion of dietary safed musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) in fish newlinediet that had direct relationship of various hematological parameters under study up to the newlinelevel of 0.5g CB/kg feed. Inclusion of 0.5g/kg safed musli in fish diet would be helpful in newlinemaintaining good health of brood stock. newline(
