The Inclusion of Sorghum in the Diet of Farmed Common Carp Cyprinus carpio L.
Keywords:
common carp, diets, growth, sorghumAbstract
The present study investigated the effects of sorghum inclusion in carp (Cyprinus Carpio) diets on growth, blood parameters, meat composition, microbiota in carp. Experimental diets with varying sorghum contents were fed to carp with an initial body weight of 50 g. The diets were tested for the presence sorghum in the diet. In particular at 30% sorghum completely replaced corn and barley. Inclusion of sorghum reduced final body weight and growth, especially in the R4 group with 30% sorghum. However, other physiological parameters such as feed requirement, specific growth rate and organ index were not affected. Carp meat protein content and salt increased with increasing sorghum inclusion rate. In addition, there was a positive correlation between sorghum concentration and malondialdehyde levels and a negative correlation with glutathione levels, indicating a breakdown of antioxidant defence mechanisms and an increase in oxidative stress.
