| Abstract |
| current work addresses the influence of ferulic acid on growth performance and hepatic function in prior and post-exposure to heat shock in Beluga (Huso huso). Beluga were allocated into three groups and fed for 56 days on 0 (T0), 100 (T1), and 150 (T2), mg of FA /kg feed. At Gowth performance was calculated after 56 days. Thereafter, beluga was exposed to heat shock. Levels of hepatic function were estimated in pre and post-exposure to heat shock. A notable difference was seen in growth parameters named final weight, weight gain, body weight gain, and specific growth rate between different treatments and best growth performance was observed in T2 (p < 0.05). Exposure of beluga to heat stress led to a notable increase in AST, ALP, and ALT in all treatments, but fish fed with the diets containing FA had the lowest levels (p < 0.05). Before and after exposure to high temperatures, the levels of ALP, AST, and ALP in fish that were provided with FA supplementation exhibited a decline (p < 0.05). Temperature stress significantly increased ALP, AST, and ALP levels in all treatments, and the highest level was obtained in the control treatment. In conclusion, the use of FA in beluga, has the ability to boost growth performance, hepatic function, and mitigate stress in prior and post-exposure to heat shock of beluga that consequently aid to achieve aquaculture sustainability and raise profits in beluga production and maintaining fish wellbeing |
