Abstract: "This trial was conducted to study the effects of garlic stem powder and oregano leaf powder on antioxidant capacity,non-specific immune performance and meat quality of the mirror carp(Cyprinus specularis).A total of seven trial treatment groups:group 1 was control group,group 2 added 10 mg/kg Flavomycin,group 3 and 4 added 0.5% and 2.5% garlic stem powder respectively,group 5 and 6 added 0.1% and 0.5% oregano leaf powder respectively,group 7 added 0.5% garlic stem powder and 0.5% garlic stem powder.Each treatment had 3 replicates of 10 fish with initial body weight(201.45±16.25)g.The feeding trail was conducted for 8 weeks.The results showed:Compared with the control group,SOD content of G3,G4 and G6 was increased in hepatopancreas significantly(P0.05);MDA Content of G3 and G4 was reduced in serum significantly(P0.05),MDA content of G5 and G6 was reduced in hepatopancreas significantly(P0.05),but SOD activity of the garlic and oregano test groups was inhibited in serum significantly(P0.05),there was no significant difference with SOD and MDA content of each test group in muscle(P 0.05).Compared with the control group,the lysozyme activity of G5,G6 and G7 was increased in spleen significantly(P0.05),the lysozyme activity of G3,G4 and G5,G6 was increased in serum significantly(P0.05);the serum C3,C4 activity of G3 and G5 were increased significantly(P0.05),the renal lysozyme of the test group was no difference significantly(P0.05).Compared with the control group,the crude protein of the fish muscle in G3 and G4 was increased significantly(P0.05),the crude protein was increased and the crude ash was reduced of muscle in G5 and G6 significantly(P0.05).The water-holding capacity of muscle in G4 and G7 was increased significantly(P0.05).Conclusion:feed was added garlic stem powder or oregano leaf powder which can increase anti-oxidation capacity,non-specific immune activity and improve meat quality of the mirror carp."
