Abstract

The aim of this research was to study the effect of dietary garlic (Allium sativum) supplementation on some hematological parameters and disease resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The Nile tilapia with 10.00±0.05 g/fish initial body weight were fed with diet supplemented with 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 g/ kg of feed for 45 days. After that, challenged with A. hydrophila was performed and mortality rate was recorded. The challenge test with A. hydrophila showed that fish fed diets supplemented with garlic in all levels had statistically significant lower mortality rate than the control group (p<0.05). Moreover, some hematological studies in fish fed dietary garlic at pre- and post- challenged with A. hydrophila were compared with the control fish. The results revealed that fish fed with garlic at all levels had significantly higher red blood cell and white blood cell counts than the control group (p<0.05). From the results of the study, it was concluded that the use of dietary garlic can promote immune responses and disease resistance against A. hydrophila in tilapia.
