Abstract
The present study entitled “Effect of supplementing Safed Musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) root powder on reproductive and haematological parameters of Jayanti rohu, (Labeo rohita)” was performed in earthen ponds at Instructional Fish Farm, COF, G.B.Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. Four hundred Jayanti rohu specimen of healthy and disease free male and female brooders were stocked in 4 earthen ponds with 100 specimens in each treatment and, the ratio of male and female Jayanti rohu 60:40, experiment was conducted from Feb. to August, 2021. Four protein rich diet combinations were arranged with different level of inclusion Safed Musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) root powder. Diet C (Control) has no supplementation of Safed Musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) powder in feed, whereas in diets Cb1, Cb2, Cb3 had 0.25 g/kg, 0.5g/kg and 0.75g/kg addition of Safed Musli of the feed, correspondingly. Based on the foregoing conclusions, it is clear that safed musli root powder at 0.5 g/kg improves the viability, motility, and survival of Jayanti rohu. The addition of safed musli root powder to feed at a rate of 0.5 g/kg of feed appears to improve the immunological state of Jayanti rohu brood stock. Safed musli root powder has potential reproductive and immunostimulatory properties that can be used in aquaculture. The results exposed that inclusion of dietary safed musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) in fish diet that had direct relationship of various hematological parameters under study up to the level of 0.5g CB/kg feed. Inclusion of 0.5g/kg safed musli in fish diet would be helpful in maintaining good health of brood stock.
