    Description: Nowadays, medical plants extract is used in aquaculture industry to enhance growth, immune system and fish resistance to different pathogens. In this study, some non-specific immune responses, hematology and biochemical parameters in rainbow trout juveniles (16 gr mean weight) and their resistance to Streptococcus iniae were evaluated following oral administration of Echinacea purpurea and Astragalus sp. extract. Three concentrations (0.5, 1 and 1.5 gr/kg of feed) of Echinacea purpurea and three concentrations (2, 3 and 5 gr/kg of feed) of Astragalus sp extract and control group were used for 60 days. Parameters evaluated included: levels of C4, C3 (complement components), free oxygen radicals (respiratory burst), Lysozyme, numbers of lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils. In the end, the relative survival rate (RSR) of fish was evaluated against S. iniae. The results showed that the levels of C3, lysozyme, oxygen free radicals, the number of neutrophils and lymphocytes in the experiment groups (the highest dose) compared to control group were increased significantly (p 〈0/05). While, the values of C4 and number of monocytes compared to the control group were not significantly different (p〉 0.05). The relative survival rates of fish following challenge with Streptococcus iniae, were 91/11, 93/33 and 44/44 percent in experiments (Echinacea purpurea and Astragalus sp.) and control groups, respectively. In conclusion, it may be state that Echinacea purpurea and Astragalus sp. extracts enhance the non-specific immune system and fish resistance against Streptococcusis, and it seems it can be used as immunostimulant in feed.

    Description: In this study, some non-specific immune responses and hematological parameters in rainbow trout juveniles (16g mean weight) and their resistance to Streptococcusis were investigated following dietary administration of 3 concentrations (0.5, 1, 1.5g/kg of feed) of Echinacea purpurea extract. The non-specific immune response and hematological parameter compared with control group for 60 days. Evaluated parameters included were of C3, C4, (complement components), superoxide ions (respiratory burst), lysozyme activity, number of WBC, percentage of blood lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils. At the end of trial, the relative survival rate (RSR) of fish was evaluated against S. iniae. The results showed that the levels of C3, lysozyme activity, superoxide ions, number of WBC and percentage of neutrophils in the experiment groups (the highest concentration, 1.5g/kg of feed) were increased significantly compared to the control group. Whereas, no significant difference was found in the value of C4 and the percentage of monocytes and lymphocytes in comparison to the control group. The relative survival rates of fish following challenge with Streptococcus iniae, were 91.11 and 44.44 percent in experiment (Echinacea purpurea, concentration of 1.5g/kg of feed) and control group, respectively. In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrated that Echinacea purpurea extract enhanced the non-specific immune system and fish resistance against streptococcusis, suggesting that this extract might be used as immunostimulant in fish feed.
