ABSTRACT
Adloo MN, Soltanian S, Ghadimi N, Hafeziyeh M., β-Glucan supplement on growth, survival
and hematology in catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), Onl J Vet
Res., 27 (8): 459-466,
2023. Groups of 35 Juvenile striped catfish each, were fed in tanks supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1 or 2%
β-Glucan. Fish were taken from each
tank for determination of serum lysozyme, total protein, glucose, survival and
growth. No significant differences were
found in growth, survival or glucose values between
any group. However, serum lysozyme was higher
in fish fed 0.5% β-glucan (10.8 ug/ml serum)
compared with controls (8.00 µg/ml serum), and blood protein levels increased in all fish given β-glucan
supplementation.
Keywords: β-Glucan, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus,
lysozyme, protein growth, survival.
