Black cardamom (Amomum subulatum) extract improves growth potential, antioxidant status, immune parameters and response to crowding stress in Catla catla

In conclusion, the use of BCE in feed can enhance the growth performance, antioxidant status, haemat ology, and serum biochemistry ofC. catla and improve the resistance against crowding stress. The optimum levels of BCE forC. catla were estimated based on weight gain % (1.78  g/kg;R2 = 0.97), feed conversion ratio (1.65 g/kg;R2 = 0.98), MDA content (1.66 mg/kg;R2 = 0.93) and serum lysozyme activity (1.72 mg/kg;R2 = 1) using broken-line regression analysis.
