    Effects of Dietary Pelargonium sidoides Extract on Growth Performance in Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio
    (Israeli Journal Of Aquaculture-Bamidgeh, 2011) Turan, Funda; Gezer, Armagan; Bircan-Yildirim, Yasemin
    The effects of graded dietary supplementation of Pelargonium sidoides extract on growth performance, feed utilization, and body composition in common carp, Cyprinus carpio, were preliminarily evaluated. Fish (0.67 +/- 0.05 g) were fed experimental diets containing 0, 1, 3, or 5 ml/100 g P. sidoides extract for 90 days. Growth rate significantly (p<0.05) increased in carp fed supplemented diets. The specific growth rate ranged from 2.87 +/- 0.09 in the control to 3.41 +/- 0.11 in fish fed the diet supplemented with 5 ml P. sidoides. The feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio, and apparent net protein utilization were significantly better in groups fed diets with 3 or 5 ml P. sidoides extract than in the control or 1 ml group. The highest protein content (19.65%) was obtained with 3 ml supplementation. The present study shows that P. sidoides extract has a positive effect on carp growth and feed utilization with no apparent effects on health status.

    Use of Dietary Pelargonium sidoides Extract to Improve Growth and Body Composition of Narrow-Clawed Crayfish Astacus leptodactylus Eschscholtz, 1823 Juveniles
    (Central Fisheries Research Inst, 2012) Turan, Funda; Mazlum, Yavuz; Yildirim, Yasemin Bircan; Gezer, Armagan
    The effects of the Pelargonium sidoides extract on survival, growth, and body composition of juvenile freshwater crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus) were investigated. Newly hatched third instars of A. leptodactylus were fed with experimental diets prepared by using supplementation of P. sidoides extract (0, 0.5, 1 and 2 ml 100 g(-1)) for 105 days. Growth rate was increased significantly in crayfish fed with 2 ml P. sidoides extract 100 g(-1) diet in comparison to the control groups (P<0.05). Feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio and apparent net protein utilization were also significantly improved in group fed diet with 2 ml 100 g(-1) P. sidoides extract than that with control and the other groups. After 105 days of rearing the survival rate was found highest in 2 ml P. sidoides extract 100 g(-1) diet supplemented group (80.0%). Protein content (16.5%) of the 2 ml 100 g(-1) P. sidoides extract-supplemented group was significantly higher than the control and other dietary groups (P<0.05). The lipid contents were decreased in P. sidoides extract-supplementation. These results indicated that the P. sidoides extract is useful to improve growth, feed utilization and survival rate in freshwater crayfish, juvenile diets.
