Effects of Extracts of Feed Additives Including Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) on the Growth Performance and Feed Utility of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

This study was performed to determine the effects of the extracts of two alternative antimicrobial agents that do not harm the ecosystem (rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis and aloe vera, Aloe barbadensis) when added to the feed of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on the growth performance, proximate composition, and biometric characteristics. Rosemary extract was added to the experimental diet in ratios of 0.1%, 0.25%, and 0.5% while aloe vera extract was added to the experimental diet in ratios of 0.5%, 1%, and 2.5%. After 90 days of the feeding trial, no change was seen in the weight increase, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, condition factor, hepatosomatic index, or viscerosomatic index of the tilapia. The fact that proximate analyses did not differ between groups showed that the plant extracts did not adversely affect the health status of tilapia in the ratios used in this study. As a result, the addition of 0.1%, 0.25%, and 0.5% rosemary extract and the addition of 0.5%, 1%, and 2.5% aloe vera extract to tilapia feeds did not cause changes in the growth performance, biometric indexes, or chemical composition findings of the fish meat.

Biberiye (Rosmarinus officinalis) ve Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) Ekstraktları Katkılı Yemlerin Nil Tilapyası (Oreochromis niloticus) Balıklarının Büyüme Performansı ve Yem Kullanımı Üzerine Etkilerinin Araştırılması

Bu çalışmada, ekosisteme zarar vermeyen iki antimikrobiyal alternatif ajanın ekstraktlarının (biberiye, Rosmarinus officinalis ve aloe vera, Aloe barbadensis) tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) balığı yemlerine eklenmesinin büyüme performansı, kimyasal besin madde analizleri ve biyometrik özelliklere etkisi araştırılmıştır. Biberiye ekstraktı %0,1 0,25 ve 0,5 oranlarında ve aloe vera ekstraktı %0,5, 1 ve 2,5 oranlarında deneme yemine ilave edilmiştir. Deneme sonunda biberiye ve aloe vera ekstraktı içerikli yemlerle beslenen balıkların ağırlık artışı, spesifik büyüme oranı, yem dönüşüm oranı, kondüsyon faktörü, hepatosomatik indeks ve visserosomatik indeks miktarlarında değişim görülmemektedir. Kimyasal besin madde analizlerinin gruplar arasında farklılık göstermemesi bitki ekstraktlarının tilapyanın sağlık durumunu araştırmada kullanılan oranlarda olumsuz etkilemediğini ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç olarak tilapya yemlerine %0,1, 0,25 ve 0,5 oranlarında biberiye ekstraktı ve %0,5, 1 ve 2,5 oranlarında aloe vera ekstraktı eklenmesinin büyüme performansı, biyometrik analizler ve balık etinin kimyasal besin kompozisyon bulgularında değişime neden olmadığı gözlenmiştir.
