Overview

Dietary tea tree oil (TTO) significantly improved the performance, intestinal antioxidant capacity, and non-specific immunity of Macrobrachium rosenbergii under ammonia nitrogen stress. The optimal dosage of TTO was found to be 100 mg/kg, leading to a significant increase in prawn performance and survival rate. This dosage also enhanced intestinal antioxidant capabilities by increasing SOD enzyme activities and decreasing MDA levels. Furthermore, the prawns fed with 100 mg/kg TTO showed the highest survival rate under ammonia stress, suggesting improved stress resistance. The mechanism may be related to the activation of the toll-dorsal pathway by TTO, which upregulates TNF-α and IL-1, ultimately enhancing non-specific immunity.

Tea Tree Oil for Giant Freshwater Prawn Health

The aquaculture industry is constantly seeking ways to enhance the health and productivity of farmed organisms. This study investigates the effects of dietary tea tree oil (TTO) on the growth, physiology, and non-specific immunity of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) under high ammonia stress. The authors conducted a feeding trial with varying levels of TTO in the diet, followed by ammonia stress exposure. The study aimed to determine the potential benefits of TTO in improving prawn health and resilience under stressful conditions. The results demonstrate that TTO significantly enhances prawn performance, antioxidant capacity, and non-specific immunity, offering a promising strategy for improving prawn health and sustainability.

Tea Tree Oil: A Boon for Prawn Health

The study found that dietary TTO significantly improved prawn performance, increased antioxidant capacity, and enhanced non-specific immunity, particularly at a dosage of 100 mg/kg. This suggests that TTO can effectively improve prawn health and resilience under ammonia stress. Imagine a camel caravan facing a harsh desert environment. Tea tree oil, like a nourishing oasis, provides essential nutrients and protection, enhancing the caravan's strength and endurance.

Sustainable Aquaculture Practices

This research highlights the potential of using natural products, such as tea tree oil, to improve the health and sustainability of aquaculture practices. The findings provide valuable insights into the use of TTO as a feed additive for improving prawn health and resilience, offering a more sustainable approach to aquaculture.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

This study demonstrates the potential of tea tree oil to enhance the health and resilience of giant freshwater prawns. The findings suggest that TTO could be a valuable tool for improving aquaculture practices, leading to a more sustainable and productive industry. The study provides a glimpse into the exciting potential of natural products to address challenges in the field of aquaculture.
