Abstract

The effect of raw and processed Mucunapruriens seed diets on histopatology of the liver of C. carpio fingerlings were carried out. The raw and the processed Mucuna seed meals in two replacement levels of 20% and 50% as substitution of soya bean meal in treatment diets were labelled Raw, MCD1 (20%) and MCD2 (50%) respectively, while a reference diet with no mucuna served as the control diet (CD). The diets were fed to C. carpio fingerlings (average weight, 15.40 g) for 56 days. Histopathological changes in the liver sections of fish were observed consistently and variable in the treatment groups. The liver of the fish fed raw Mucuna diets showed vacoulation and severe necrosis of hepatocytes in the liver parenchyma and periportal areas which are indcations of pathological conditions. The MCD1 was considered the most appropriate for dietary inclusion of Mucuna pruriens
seeds in the feeding of C. carpio fingerlings.
