This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of C. rotundus tuber extract in the diet on the growth performance and disease resistance of Nile tilapia. Various components of phytochemical importance of nut grass, including sugars\/carbohydrates, terpenoids, tannins, and flavonoids were found in C. rotundus. Tilapia (n = 25 fish\/group in triplicate) were fed with different levels of nut grass extract including 0 (control; T1), 0.4 (T2), 0.8 (T3), and 1.6 (T4) g\/kg for 60 days in a completely randomized design (CRD) experiment. After the feeding trial, the highest weight gain and average daily gain (ADG) were observed in the T4 group, but it was not significantly different from T3 (Nile tilapia fed with a 0.8 g\/kg) (p &gt; 0.05). The lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) was observed in the T3 group. Moreover, the fillet, crud lipid content, and blood chemical profiles (aspartate aminotransferase (AST), cholesterol, and malondialdehyde (MDA)) in fish fed with 1.6 g\/kg were highest when compared in all groups. In addition, the T3 group presented with the immune response parameter found in red blood cells (RBC), lysozyme activity, and antioxidant (superoxide dismutase activity (SOD)) being higher than those of the control group (p &lt; 0.05). The highest survival (93.33%) was observed in fish fed with 0.8 g\/kg (T3) after a 14 day challenge with Streptococcus agalactiae. Thus, it was concluded that nut grass extract at 0.8 g\/kg can be used to improve the growth performance and the tendency for resistance to S. agalactiae in Nile tilapia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani14030503","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,5]],"date-time":"2024-02-05T09:31:58Z","timestamp":1707125518000},"page":"503","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Effects of Dietary Tuber Ethanolic Extract of Nut Grass (Cyperus rotundus Linn.) on Growth, Immune Response, and Disease Resistance in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Supranee","family":"Wigraiboon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Technology, Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University, Maha Sarakham 44150, Thailand"},{"name":"Applied Animal and Aquatic Sciences Research Unit, Division of Fisheries, Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University, Maha Sarakham 44150, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruamruedee","family":"Panchan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Technology, Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University, Maha Sarakham 44150, Thailand"},{"name":"Applied Animal and Aquatic Sciences Research Unit, Division of Fisheries, Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University, Maha Sarakham 44150, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5009-5058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vijitra","family":"Luang-In","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Natural Antioxidant Innovation Research Unit, Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University, Maha Sarakham 44150, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wilailak","family":"Ounjit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Mahasarakham University, Maha Sarakham 44150, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paiboon","family":"Panase","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fisheries Division, School of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Phayao, Phayao 56000, Thailand"},{"name":"Unit of Excellence Physiology and Sustainable Production of Terrestrial and Aquatic Animals (FF66-UoE014), School of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Phayao, Phayao 56000, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5358-7018","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sontaya","family":"Sookying","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Excellence Physiology and Sustainable Production of Terrestrial and Aquatic Animals (FF66-UoE014), School of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Phayao, Phayao 56000, Thailand"},{"name":"Division of Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Phayao, Phayao 56000, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nantaporn","family":"Sutthi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Technology, Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University, Maha Sarakham 44150, Thailand"},{"name":"Applied Animal and Aquatic Sciences Research Unit, Division of Fisheries, Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University, Maha Sarakham 44150, Thailand"},{"name":"Unit of Excellence Physiology and Sustainable Production of Terrestrial and Aquatic Animals (FF66-UoE014), School of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Phayao, Phayao 56000, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"FAO (2023, May 12).
