Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the impacts of polyphenols-supplemented diet on growth, body composition and gene expressions of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and growth hormone (GH) in Labeo rohita fingerlings fed canola meal-based diets. Two plant extracts; Salvadora persica and Salvadora oleoides were used to assess the efficacy of L. rohita. Twelve test diets, including control (no supplementation) and supplemented with S. persica, S. oleoidesand their mixture at the levels of 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg, were formulated. The gene expression of IGFs and GH was observed to be regulated significantly (p< 0.05) in the liver tissue of fingerlings when fed with supplemented diet. The highest expression of GH was observed at 200 mg/kg mixture diet. The results of growth performance showed that maximum weight gain% (215%) and SGR (1.63) was recorded at 200 mg/kg mixture diet. The results of carcass analysis showed that they were significantly (p< 0.05) influenced by supplemented diet when compared with control diet. As growth performance is under genetic control, the synthesis and release of IGF are stimulated by binding of GH to receptors present in the liver. Conclusively, the results showed that rohu fingerlings shown the best results of growth performance, body composition and gene expression of IGF and GH, when fed on mixture of S. persica and S. oleoides at 200 mg/kg.

Abstrak

Matlamat penyelidikan ini adalah untuk mengkaji kesan diet tambahan polifenol ke atas tumbesaran, komposisi badan dan pengekspresan gen faktor tumbesaran seperti insulin (IGF) dan hormon tumbesaran (GH) pada anak Labeo rohita yang diberi diet berasaskan canola. Dua ekstrak tumbuhan; Salvadora persica dan Salvadora oleoides digunakan untuk menilai keberkesanan L. rohita. Dua belas ujian diet, termasuk kawalan (tiada suplemen) dan tambahan suplemen S. persica, S. oleoides serta gabungannya pada tahap 200, 400 dan 800 mg/kg telah diformulasi. Pengekspresan gen IGF dan GH diperhatikan telah dikawal dengan ketara (p<0.05) dalam tisu hati anak apabila diberi makanan tambahan. Pengekspresan tertinggi GH diperhatikan pada diet gabungan 200 mg/kg. Keputusan prestasi tumbesaran menunjukkan peningkatan% berat badan maksimum (215%) dan SGR (1.63) direkodkan pada diet gabungan 200 mg/kg. Keputusan analisis karkas menunjukkan bahawa mereka secara signifikan (p< 0.05) dipengaruhi oleh diet tambahan jika dibandingkan dengan diet kawalan. Oleh kerana prestasi tumbesaran berada di bawah kawalan genetik, sintesis dan pembebasan IGF dirangsang oleh pengikatan GH kepada reseptor yang terdapat dalam hati. Secara konklusif, keputusan menunjukkan bahawa anak rohu menunjukkan hasil terbaik dalam prestasi tumbesaran, komposisi badan dan pengekspresan gen IGF dan GH apabila diberi makan gabungan S. persica dan S. oleoides pada 200 mg/kg.

 

Kata kunci: Faktor tumbesaran seperti insulin; hormon tumbesaran; pengekspresan gen; polifenol; prestasi tumbesaran
