Effects of Medicinal Plants on Fish Immunity and its Growth Performances
Abstract
Herbs have been applied for immune stimulation and disease prevention for years. However, the application of them as alternatives for chemicals and antibiotics in aquaculture business is still insignificant. This article aimed to review the research of the use of medicinal plants for growth improvement, prevention and treatment of fish diseases. As each parts of plants provides the different active ingredients, the outcomes are dissimilar. The dosages, administration methods, and duration are important factors affecting immunity. Some plants are inexpensive but high protein which are possibly suitable to replace fishmeal. Oral administration as an additive feed is the most practical and preferable method ranging from 0.1 – 5% for 7 – 60 days. The commercial products have been developed; however, the effective results from farms are limited.
Keywords: immunostimulant, herb, aquatic animal, fish immunity
