Description
Summary:The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of edible eryngii mushroom powder, Pleurotus eryngii (PE), for 63 days on haematological parameters, the serum immune responses, skin mucus, bactericidal activity, stress resistance, growth performance and digestive enzyme activities of Koi carp fingerlings (Cyprinus carpio koi). Fish were divided into five groups and each group was fed with dietary PE with five graded levels (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2%). The results showed a significant dose-dependent increase of Ht, Hb, MCV and MCH levels in fish fed dietary PE (P
