Impacts of Date Palm Seeds (Phoenix dactyliferous L.) on Common Carpcyprinus carpio L. Biological Indices and Blood Pictures

This study was carried out to study the effect of using date palm seeds powder as feed ingredient in fish laboratory of Animal Production Department, College of Agricultural sciences of Sulaimani University, Iraq, Using 75 common carp fingerlings weight 62 ± 2 gm, to test the effect of three different levels of the date palm seed. The control treatment T1 with 0 gm date palm seed., (T2) with 2.5 gm date palm seed, and (T3) with 5 gm date palm seed. At the end of experiment a dissection of all fish were done for study some blood parameters of tested fish showed that T1 has significant differences in Red blood cells count 2.113, hemoglobin values were high significantly in T1 and T3 with 11.575 and 11.000 respectively. Hematocrits was higher in T1 46.750 while no significant differences observed in Platelets. No significant differences were in monocytes, lymphocytes and granulocytes count among treatments. Some biological parameters studied such as Hepatosomatic index in which T2 was higher significantly 1.515, no significant (P<0.05) differences obtained from Spleenosomatic index, Intestine length and Condition factor, T3 was higher in Gill index and Kidney index with 3.874 and 0.576 respectively.
