Influence of Macerated and Cold Press Wheat Germ (Triticum vulgare) Oils Added at Different Rates to Trout Feed on The Feed Rate (FCR), Hematological Parameters and NBT (Nitroblue tetrazolium) Values of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

İngilizce (OpenAlex)

In this study, 2% of macerated and cold press wheat germ oils were added to the feeds of rainbow trout (average weight of 39.8 ± 4 g). At the end of the study, growth rate, blood parameters and NBT (Nitro blue tetrazolium) level of rainbow trout were determined. Feed Conversion Ratios (FCR) of groups were determined as macerated: 1.12, cold press: 1.53, control: 1.11. Statistically significant differences were found in red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), white blood cell (WBC), platelet (PLT) values (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between Nitroblue Tetrazolium (NBT) levels (p>0.05).
