Summary: This study evaluated the effects of jamun leaf extract (JLE) as a feed supplement on growth performance, haemato-immunological, oxidative stress-related parameters, and cytokine gene expression in Cyprinus carpio challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila. The results showed that adding 10 g/kg JLE to the feed significantly improved growth performance, enhanced immunity and disease resistance, and regulated the expression of inflammatory factors in the liver, head-kidney, and intestine. Therefore, JLE is a promising food additive for carp aquaculture.

Summary: In this study, microbial fermentation of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. calyx extract was used to enhance its phytochemical constituents and biological activity, resulting in increased antioxidant activity and phenolic content, especially with Galactomyces geotrichum inoculation. The optimized fermentation conditions included 1% eHS addition and static culture method. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and enzymatic activity analysis showed that the improved biological activities of fermented eHS were mainly due to increased levels of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, anthocyanin and its aglycone derivatives. This is the first report to demonstrate the use of microbial fermentation to improve the biological functionalities of fermented eHS.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Humulus scandens extract on the growth performance, antioxidant responses, and intestinal microflora of Yellow River carp. The results showed that the groups fed with 1.0 g/kg and 2.0 g/kg of Humulus scandens extract had significantly higher final body weight, specific growth rate, and intestinal body index than the control group. The antioxidant activity and intestinal health of the carp were improved with the supplementation of Humulus scandens extract.
