Özet
This study was aimed at determining the effects of ethanolic extracts of nettle (Urtica dioica) and green olive tree (Phillyrea latifolia), used as feed additives, on innate immune responses in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata). Ethanolic extracts from leaves of both plants were incorporated into feeds in two separate experimental setups, and the fish received 0, 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg nettle or green olive tree extracts for 60 days. Growth performance was evaluated on the 30th and 60th days, and hematological parameters as well as the immune responses were assessed on the 60th day. Moreover, the nettle group was challenged with Vibrio anguillarum at the end of the 60th day. Supplementation at different doses increased lysozyme and myeloperoxidase activities significantly in both trials (p < 0.05). Respiratory burst activity also significantly increased after nettle supplementation (p < 0.05). It was …
