Abstract:

The study investigated the effect of seed extract of Achyranthes aspera and Ricinus communis on hematology and histology in Labeo rohita. 120 fish(6.5g±0.001) were acclimatized in aquaria for one week with a control diet (32%CP). Ethanolic extract of seeds of medicinal plants was prepared. One control and two treatment diets T1:MPSE1 containing A. aspera and T2:MPSE2containing R. communis extracts were prepared. Fish were stocked in respective aquaria with replicates (20 fish/aquaria) under a completely randomized design. The fish were fed at a rate of 4% of their body weight administered twice daily for a period of 60 days. Water quality parameters were monitored throughout thetrial. At the end of the trial, hematological parameters and histology of liver were analyzed. Hematological analysis revealed a significant (P<0.05) increase in RBC count, hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in T1, showing A. asperaboosts immunity. The findings demonstrated that the inclusion of A. asperaextract in fish feed significantly (P<0.05) improved hematological parameters and liver histo-architecture, indicating enhanced physiological health and better systemic responses in fish. It was concluded that herbal extracts improve hematological parameters and liver tissue structure. As natural, biodegradable, and economical immune stimulants, medicinal plants offer a sustainable approach to enhancing fish health.
