Abstract
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of chitosan on growth performance, blood and serum biochemical indices and innate immunity of grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) for 60 days. In this experiment, 120 grey mullets (with average weight of 12.01±1.04 g) were divided into four treatments and three replicates (n=10 in each replicate) in a completely randomized design and fed with diets containing 0, 5, 10 and 15 g chitosan /kg food, respectively. The present results showed that diets containing 10 and 15 g chitosan/ kg food had a significant difference in growth and feed indices compared with control and the diet containing 5 g/kg chitosan (P<0.05). The highest final weight, condition factor,weight gain, protein efficiency ratio and red blood cellwere observed in the diet containing 10 g/kg chitosan which had a significant difference compared with other treatments (P<0.05). The highest heamoglobulin, white blood cell, Mean Corpuscular Volume, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration, total protein, globulin and lysozyme activity were observed in treatments containing 10 and 15 g/kg chitosan, which showed a significant difference compared with other treatments (P<0.05). Finally, the present results suggests that diets containing 10 and 15 g/kg dietary chitosan can improve growth, hematology and blood biochemical indices and innate immunity responses of grey mullet.
