Abstract

This study was investigated that the effects of different astaxanthin sources on the growth performance, flesh color and antioxidant ability of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Three hundred and seventy-five rainbow trout with an average body weight of (6.27±0.04) g were randomly assigned to 5 groups with 3 replicates per group and 25 fish per replicate. Five iso-nitrogenous and iso-energetic diets were designed as the control diet and the astaxanthin sources supplemented diets, including 1.0 g/kg synthetic astaxanthin product (Ast), 6.5 g/kg Adonis aestivalis flower (AF), 3.4 g/kg Adonis aestivalis extract (AE) and 4.4 g/kg Haematococcus pluvialis extract (HE) with the same astaxanthin inclusion of 100 mg/kg. Then the five diets were fed to rainbow trout for 6 weeks. The results showed as follows: adding Ast, AE and HE had no significant effects on weight gain rate (WGR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) (P>0.05). However, weight gain rate (WGR) in AF group significantly decreased (P<0.05) and feed conversion rate (FCR) significantly increased (P<0.05). The flesh redness (a*), yellowness (b*) values, tissue astaxanthin content and the serum carotenoid content (except the AF group at the 2nd week) in Ast, AF, AE and HE groups were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05), and the flesh lightness (L*) value was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the supplementation of Ast, AE and HE significantly decreased the flesh thawing loss, drip loss at the 4 and 6 h (P<0.05), significantly reduced the total superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde content in flesh, liver and serum (P<0.05), and significantly increased inhibition ability of hydroxyl radical (P<0.05). In conclusion, the supplementation of AE and HE in diet effectively improve the flesh pigmentation and antioxidant capacity of rainbow trout, and reach the similar effects to synthetic astaxanthin, while AF is not suggested to be used in the diet of rainbow trout.
