Implication

Randomized trial investigates fermented mulberry leaf powder effects on grass carp growth and meat quality, suggesting improved lipid metabolism and antioxidant capacity.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the effects of dietary fermented mulberry leaf powder on various growth and health parameters in grass carp.
  • Fish were fed diets with 0%, 5%, 10%, or 15% FMLP for 70 days.
  • Growth performance, muscle quality, antioxidant capacity, and lipid metabolism were assessed through various metrics.
  • Statistical analyses included quadratic regression to optimize FMLP inclusion levels.
  • FMLP reduced hepatosomatic index and visceral fat ratio (p < 0.05).
  • Muscle quality improved with increased water-holding capacity and reduced drip loss (p < 0.05).
  • FMLP enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities and promoted expressions of fatty acid oxidation genes (p < 0.05).
