Abstract

The present study was designed to assess the effect of oral administration of yeast cell wall (YCW) preparation from
Saccharomyces cerevisiae on non-specific immune responses of catla, Catla catla (Ham.). Fish fed with experimental diet
(for 15 days) were switched back to control diet and fed for a period of 30 days. Non-specific immune responses, viz.,
superoxide anion production, phagocytosis, nitrite production and proliferation of leukocytes along with haematological
parameters were assessed at 10 days interval during post YCW feeding period. Although there was no significant difference
in mean haematocrit values, dynamic changes of differential leucocyte count was observed in treated group as compared to
control. Superoxide anion production, in vitro phagocytic activity and nitrite production of leucocytes increased significantly
(p<0.01) and reached peak on 10th day post-treatment. In vitro lymphocyte proliferation also showed similar trend throughout
the experimental period. The results showed that supplementation of YCW preparation in feed for 15 days had significant
immunostimulatory effect on C. catla
