Abstract

The use of natural and vegetable ingredients as an additive in fish diets will increase the health of the host. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding sugar beet molasses to carp fish meal to evaluate some blood indices. The experiment consisted of 360 pieces of common carp with an average weight of 22 ± 2.5. After one week of adaptation, it was fed for a period of 8 weeks. The experiment was carried out in the form of 4 treatments and each treatment with 3 replications including: Molasses (treatment 1), diet containing 0.5% molasses (treatment 2), diet containing 1% molasses (treatment 3) and diet containing 2% molasses (treatment 4) Done. The fish were fed daily with 3% body weight and twice daily with experimental diets. Food from the control group, the commercial food of the common carp of the corporation was no molasses. The results showed that red blood cells were significantly increased in 2% molasses. Hemoglobin was also found in 2% molasses (P <0.05). MCHC also increased in 2% molasses. There was no significant difference between the treatments after the differential count of white blood cells. In general, a diet containing molasses was effective on the blood indices of common carp, increasing the number of red blood cells and increasing hemoglobin in 2% molasses.
