ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to investigate the effect of various addition levels of dietary Anise seeds powder on some immunological aspects and growth parameters of common carp fingerlings (Cyprinus carpio L.). Thirty two at mean Wt. 52.50 gm ranged 30-75 gm were randomly distributed into four duplicate treatments. No Anise powder adding to treatment 1 (control), while T2, T3, T4 had treated with 0.3%, 0.6% and 1.0% of anise seeds powder respectively. Fish were weighed biweekly for ten weeks experiment period. Diets and Flesh of experimental fish was analyzed chemically before and after the experiment. Growth parameters was calculated and blood samples had taken and tested for whole blood picture (Hb, PCV%, R.B.Cs. and differential W.B.Cs. Counts). All data were analyzed statistically by Complete Randomized Design (CRD) and tested with Least Significant Differences (LSD) at p>0.05 Probability. The results showed the best response were in T3 and T4 with significant differences between all treatments, these seeds powder play a positive promoting agent by altering the levels of growth parameters, immunological performances by improving blood components and properties. Because Anise has anethole, Tyrosinase inhibitor activity and shikimic acid, which they slow the spread of pathogenic agents into fish bodies and keep fishes in a constant healthy state by stimulates their immunity.
