Effects of Stimulin on Hematological and Biochemical Parameters in Major Carps

Abstract

Artificial meal preparation, aquaculture research and practise, and several medicinal plantsand their chemical components are employed as immunostimulants. Inhibiting microbial infections andstimulating immunity are two functions shared by many herbal plants. Certain biochemical indicatorsare also directly affected by fundamental ecological variables as feeding regime and stocking density.Stimulin is a one-of-a-kind, potent cocktail of immunological stimulatory chemicals isolated fromnatural sources with a high capacity to activate the nonspecific defence mechanism in fish and prawns.Modulating the immune system in this way makes the host more resistant to pathogen-causedillnesses. Stimulin causes changes in the number of haemocytes, induces encapsulation responses,inhibits the adhesion of germs to the stomach, and influences clotting reactions, among other things.
