The experimental trial was conducted to assess the effects of dietary pyridoxine on growth performance, physiological metabolics, intestinal enzymatic activities and antioxidant properties of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco. Six isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets (420 g/kg protein and 70 g/kg lipid) were formulated to contain 3.69 (control), 5.45, 7.31,11.17, 19.43 and 33.94 mg/kg pyridoxine. Four groups of 30 fish (3.85 ± 0.01 g) per tank (300-L cylindrical fiberglass tanks) for each diet were fed to apparent satiation twice daily for 63 days. Blood, intestine and hepatopancreas samples were obtained for metabolic, enzymatic activities and antioxidant properties analyses. The results showed that significantly higher weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), protein efficiency ratio (PER), protein retention efficiency (PRE), whole-body crude protein, intestinal protease, alkaline phosphatase, Na+/K+-ATPase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase and significantly lower feed conversion ratio were observed in fish fed diet with 7.31 mg/kg compared to those in control group (P |
