Abstract

Background: Now a days natural feed additives like plant- extracts, have gained greater potential for improving overall health of aquaculture. Pomegranate (Punica granatum) and Banana (Musa spp.) peels contain greater number of bioactive compounds such as antioxidants and polyphenols that have greater potential to enhance growth performance, antioxidant defense as well as immune function in different species of fish. These natural supplements exert potential health benefits to Raho fish (Labeo rohita) in terms of immunological and physiological aspects. Purpose: The main purpose of the present review is to examine the effects of pomegranate and banana peel extracts on the growth performance, antioxidant status, as well as immunological profile of Labeo rohita. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature was reviewed using authentic database Google Scholar, ScienceDirect and PubMed for identifying studies on the effects of pomegranate and banana peel extracts on Labeo rohita. Different keywords were used like "Raho fish," "Labeo rohita," "pomegranate peel extract," "banana peel extract," and "natural feed additives." Different studies focusing on growth performance, antioxidant status and immune response in fish were selected for this review. Results: Present review found that the incorporation of pomegranate and banana peel extracts in the diet of fish positively influenced the antioxidant enzyme activity, growth performance, as well as immune responses in Labeo rohita. These natural bioactive compounds in the peels contributed to increase the feed efficiency as well as provided resistance to infections and oxidative stress, thereby improved the overall health of fish. Conclusion: Pomegranate and Banana peel extracts have greater potential as cost-effective and eco-friendly feed additives in aquaculture. Their inclusion in the diets of Labeo rohita not only enhance the growth performance but also improves immune system as well as antioxidant status, thereby promoting overall health of fish.
