Abstract

Phyllanthus urinaria Linn., one of the medicinal plants possessing various biomedical effects, had been applied in shrimp feed in order to study its efficacy on growth performance, feed utilization and survival rate of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei Boone). Initially, the experiment was carried out by feeding shrimp for 56 days with diets containing P. urinaria crude extract at the levels of 0, 1, 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 ppm, and then the results of interested parameters were investigated. At the end of the feeding trial, the obtained results indicated that shrimp fed with the diet containing 10,000 ppm of P. urinaria crude extract slightly showed higher rate of growth performance and feed utilization than the others; however, the significant difference (p < 0.05) was only found on the controlled group. In case of survival rate of shrimp ingesting on each experimental diet, there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) among various treatments evaluated in this parameter. All in all, it can be concluded that P. urinaria crude extract has a slight effect on growth promotion, but it does not affect to increment in the survival rate of Pacific white shrimp.
