Effect of vitamin E (DL-all-rac-a-tocopherol acetate) and nano particles of selenium on growth, survival, body composition and whole body glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in Rutilus kutum (Kamensky, 1901)

The effect of vitamin E (100 mg kg⁻¹) and nano-selenium (1 mg kg⁻¹), which have a nutritional relationship separately and in combination, was investigated on growth, survival, carcass composition, body glutathione peroxidase activity, and body malondialdehyde content of Rutilus kutum. Results showed that vitamin E is capable of improving growth, FCR and WG in Kutum fingerlings; however, nano-selenium is not. According to this study, vitamin E can improve growth and selenium can improve glutathione peroxidase activity in Rutilus kutum larvae.
