Abstract

Efficacy of orally used of red yeast (Phaffia rhodozyma) (1.6 mg astaxanthin/g product) at 15.5 g (P1), 37.3 g (P2) and 47 (P3) g per kg diet were studied on performance, carcass composition, antioxidant activity and fillet pigmentation in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) weighing 208–212 g for eight weeks at 11 °C. Synthetic astaxanthin (AX) (0.5 g/kg diet) and basal diet were used as controls. With an increase in P. rhodozyma concentration in diet, weight gain and specific growth rate exhibited an increase compared to basal diet (P < 0.05%). A significant difference was seen among the treatments but only P3 diet significantly demonstrated a better growth than AX diet (P < 0.05). Activity of antioxidant enzymes; superoxidase dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, total antioxidant activity, glutathione reductase, and catalase exhibited an enhancement in serum or liver samples of fish fed P. rhodozyma compared to basal diet (P < 0.05). Protein content in fillet of fish fed P3 diet was higher than both basal and AX diets (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was seen in contents of lipid, moisture, ash and pH values either among the treatments or between treatments and basal diet (P > 0.05). Water holding capacity and lipid loss in fillets of treatments were lower than fish fed basal diet (P < 0.05). By increasing P. rhodozyma concentration in fish diets, redness value exhibited a progressive increase, and the highest value was seen in P3 diet compared to other treatments (P < 0.05). These data show application of P. rhodozyma at 47 g/kg diet in trout could provide a better performance, antioxidant activities, and fillet pigmentation.
