Effects of dietary asafoetida (Ferula sinkiangensis K. M. Shen) levels on feeding attraction activity, growth performance, healthiness, and digestive enzyme activity in juvenile Lateolabrax japonicus

The study was to investigate effects of asafoetida ( Ferula sinkiangensis K. M. Shen) powder on feeding attraction activity (FAA), growth performance, healthiness, and digestive enzyme activity of juvenile Lateolabrax japonicus . Six concentration levels (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 g/kg diets) were fo...

Description
Summary:The study was to investigate effects of asafoetida ( Ferula sinkiangensis K. M. Shen) powder on feeding attraction activity (FAA), growth performance, healthiness, and digestive enzyme activity of juvenile Lateolabrax japonicus . Six concentration levels (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 g/kg diets) were formulated for luring and feeding experiment. Results showed that asafoetida could stimulate the appetite of L. japonicus at the dietary levels from 10 to 25 g/kg; reduce the feed conversion ratio (FCR) and feed intake (FI) at 10–20 g/kg; increase the weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) at 5–10 g/kg; increase the hepatosomatic index (HSI), body crude lipid content, serum total protein (TP) content, and lysozyme activity at 10–15 g/kg; decrease the moisture at 10–15 g/kg; and increase the serum total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity at 5–15 g/kg, when compared with the control group ( p
