Effect of Adding Garlic (Allium sativum), Black Seed (Nigella Sativa) and their combination on Some Bio-Physiological Parameters in young common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

Abstract

This study has been executed to elucidate the effect of different levels of garlic (Allium sativum) and black seed (Nigella sativa) in fish diet of common carp Cyprinus carpio L. on some Bio-Physiological Parameters. This study has been executed for a period 8 weeks after an adaptation period of 20 days in the fish laboratory of Animal Science Department, College of Agricultural sciences/ University of Sulaimani, Iraq. It was conducted by using 260 fish (their average weight was 29±1g) of common carp C. carpio L. This experiment was distributed into 9 treatments with three replicates for each treatment as follow; T1 with 0%, T2 10% black seed, T3 1% garlic, T4 10% black seed with 1% garlic, T5 5%black seed, T6 5% garlic, T7 10% black seed with 0.5% garlic, T8 5% black seed with 1% garlic, and T9 5% black seed with 0.5% garlic. T6 with 0.5 % Garlic was higher significantly in Gonadosomatic index as compared to other treatments, in opposite to it the Spleenosomatic index which was lesser significantly than other treatments, in Condition factor the T4 with 10% Black seed + %1 Garlic was higher significantly than other treatments, T5 with 5% Black seeds powder and T6 with 0.5 % Garlic were lesser significantly as compared to other treatment in Hepatosomatic index. No significant differences observed in Hepatosomatic index and Spleenosomatic index, T4 with 10% Black seed + %1 Garlic elevate significantly the Gonadosomatic index, control, T3 with 1 Garlic powder, T6 with 0.5 % Garlic, T7 with 10% Black seed + % 0.5 Garlic were significantly higher in condition factor. no significant differences observed in fish weight without viscera, significant differences found among the treatments in Fish weight without viscera & head. After ten days the a significant differences observed in Fish weight without viscera, the control and T8 with 5 % Black seed + % 1 Garlic were lower significantly in Fish weight without viscera & head.
