Effects of Dietary Supplementation of Coenzyme Q10 on Growth Performance, Biochemical and Physiological Attributes of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a natural antioxidant and plays a vital role in the energy production of animal cells; however, its physiological and biochemical properties in fish are unclear.

Objectives

The current experiment was investigated to explore the effects of dietary CoQ10 on growth performance and biochemical and physiological attributes of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

Methods

A 56-day feeding trial was conducted with 5 experimental diets supplemented with CoQ10 concentrations at 0, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg kg^-1 of diet and fed to 400 rainbow trout (10 ± 0.1 g, initial body weight).

Results

Dietary supplementation with CoQ10, especially at the highest dietary level, significantly improved the feed conversion ratio, final body wei
