digestive enzyme activities and immune response of juvenile common carp ( </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">Cyprinus carpio </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;">) were evaluated. </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">C. carpio </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;">, with an average weight at the
beginning of the experiment of 6.5 ± 0.07 g, were supplemented with a celery ( </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">Apium graveolens </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;">) aqueous methanolic
extract at a dose of 0% (control), 0.1%, 0.5% or 1% over 45 days. Every 15 days,
respiratory burst, lysozyme and myeloperoxidase activity were measured, and at
the end of the study, haematological responses, growth performance and
digestive enzyme activity were investigated. Respiratory burst and
myeloperoxidase activity was significantly improved in all treated groups compared
with the control group ( </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">P </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;"> </span> </span> <span style="font-size:12px;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">˂ </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:115%;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">
0.05). Lysozyme activity was highest in the 0.1% and 1% extract groups. At the
end of the study, the final weight (FW), weight gain (WG) and specific growth
rate (SGR) were significantly increased in the 0.1% group compared with the
other groups. The feed concentration ratio was decreased in the 0.1% and 1%
groups compared with the control ( </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">P <
0.05 </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;">). Haematological parameters were affected by </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">A. graveolens </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;"> extract intake (P </span> </span> <span style="font-size:12px;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">˂ </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:115%;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"> 0.05). The total white and red
blood counts, haemoglobin content and haematocrit value were highest in the
0.1% extract group ( </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">P </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;"> </span> </span> <span style="font-size:12px;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">˂ </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:115%;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">
0.05). However, the mean cell volume and mean cell haemoglobin concentration
were decreased in the 0.5% group ( </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">P </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;"> </span> </span> <span style="font-size:12px;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">˂ </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:115%;"> <span style="font-size:12px;">
0.05). Digestive enzyme activity (trypsin, amylase and lipase) in all
experimental groups was significantly elevated compared with the control ( </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">P </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;"> </span> </span> <span style="font-size:12px;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">˂ </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:115%;"> <span style="font-size:12px;"> 0.05). These results indicated
an immunostimulatory and growth-promoting effect and increasing digestive
enzyme activity of </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">C. carpio </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;">
supplemented with an </span> <i> <span style="font-size:12px;">A. graveolens </span> </i> <span style="font-size:12px;">
aqueous methanolic extract. </span> </span> <span style="font-size:7pt;line-height:115%;"> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}
