- Abstract
A 90 days study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of green tea (Camellia sinensis) on disease resistance and hematology of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). The test diets was prepared by incorporating green tea powder at 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 g/kg basal diet. The hemato-biochemical indices were examined before and after fish were challenged against Aeromonas hydrophila pathogen containing 3.16 × 107 CFU/ml. There were significantly higher number of erythrocytes, leucocytes, haemoglobin value in pre challenge. Leucocytes significantly increased (p < 0.05) in both pre and post challenge. The serum protein content was significantly (p < 0.05) increased for fish fed with 1 g/kg green tea. However, feeding of green tea incorporated diet resulted reduction in serum glucose, serum magnesium and serum cholesterol level in fish. No mortality was observed in 1 g/kg and 1.5 g/kg green tea incorporated diet fed fishes after challenged against Aeromonas hydrophila. These results indicated that green tea leaf powder stimulates the immunity and makes common carp more resistant to bacterial infection (A. hydrophila).
