Pemanfaatan ekstrak Wortel (Daucus carrota L.) sebagai imunostimulan pada ikan Kakap Putih (Lates calcarifer)

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of carrot extract on the phagocyte activity of Vibrio alginolyticus in white snapper. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments used respectively as follows, treatment A: 0 µl extract/individu, B: 100 µl extract/individu, C: 150 μl extract/individu, and D: 200 μl extract/individu. The average value of phagocytic activity tended to increase, namely treatment A 8.67%; treatment B 9.33%; treatment C 11.00%; and treatment D 14.00%. Carrot extract can increase phagocytic activity of white snapper. An effective dose that can increase the immune response of white snapper was 200 µl extract/individu of fish.
